Reverse Proceed

Electronic music pioneers Slam return to their home base of Soma with their brand new album, 'Reverse Proceed'. After tireless months in the studio, the Glaswegian duo are ready to unleash what is easily their best body of work to date. Not only does this album capture where the two are at musically at this moment; it is also an extension of their unending fascination with all things electronic. Lending their 22 years of experience to this new project, Slam have delved into the past for inspiration whilst simultaneously heralding future technologies in the production process. Conceptually, Slam wanted to have the human experience in mind when recording and to base the architecture of the album around 'the sequence'. This led them to a locally built hardware sequencer called the 'Sequentix Cirklon' that became the heart of the album, allowing them to access older machines and also a modern modular synth setup simultaneously. The duo were able to merge live manipulation and recording techniques to full potential to bring soul to the music. 'Reverse Proceed' is more than an album; it is a well-defined experience built on the principle of the sequence. Having been meticulously woven together to create a seamless listening environment, 'Reverse Proceed' aims to capture the audience and guide them through the sonic landscape of the album. This method allowed Slam to fully explore the concept of the album being more than just a collection of tracks but rather a thoroughly immersive piece.
