Harem

Artist: Slam

Released: 18 December 2012

Gary Beck brings fellow Glaswegians and techno legends Slam onto BEK Audio for their first release with the imprint. Gary & Slam have worked together on numerous projects across labels like Figure, Paragraph & Soma to explosive effect. Harem is no different. Harem retains the classic sound of Slam. Jacking percussion, fills and dizzying snare rolls flow organically around the track, while a deep, grooving bassline and pulsing synth hold the rhythm. Slam remain on-form with Harem, highlighting the style and restraint that comes with 20+ years experience of producing electronic music. Gary Becks remix of Harem returns to the tech-housier side of his productions. Splashing cymbals, echoing claps and straight-up drum-rolls introduce the potent percussive elements, while Gary utilises Slams rolling bassline & synth work to create a relentless groove that swells and sways in a quintessential Beck manner. BEK Audio continues to push the bar and does so with panache on Slams Harem release. www.bekaudio.com www.apelago.com p@apelago.com
