Customer Reviews:

getting some positive education.......2001-01-28

Allright, i'll have to admit to being a wee bit biased on this one. In my opinion, Slam are the business. Their Soma record label is one of the most innovative and consistently excellent on the scene, their work as Slam, Pressure Funk and Counter Plan never fails to impress, and their original '94 classic 'Positive Education' remains arguably one of the best techno crowdpleasers of all time.

As with most DJ mix formats these days, the package is spread out over two CDs, which leads you to expect (and later get) a more funky/chilled out set on one, and a more all-out set on the other. The cover art is also pretty indicative of the genre - warm colours, angular and retro-futuristic architecture of the motorway overpass and the implicit journey theme give cues of what is to come.

Flipping the case over, the tracklisting looks promisingly original and creative, containing remixes of old school classics (past lessons) like Sueno Latino and Chez Damier's 'Close' with the today's big tracks (future theories) like Bushwacka's monstrous 'Healer'. We also get to hear a lot of excellent grooves from some new British up-and-comers. The most obvious tracks are new mixes of Positive Education (forgiven!) and Jaguar (ditto!). They still rock!

Play the thing and you quickly realise the technical quality of the mixing is excellent, if thats the sort of thing that interests you. Slam are true veterans, having been a part of the formation of the Scottish scene back in '88, achieving legendary status during their residency at the Atlantis nights at the sub. Today they continue to hold their own with the best of them on the international DJ circuit as well as at home with their wild boat parties and club nights.

However, the best thing about these mixes is the track selection and programming - fusing underground house and techno in the deep and funky Soma style. These lads have been doing the 'tech house' thing since before it was a specialty rack in the recordstore. Wambonix blends into E-Dancer in a way that sounds not only totally natural but positively lovely, and the momentum continues to build into a crecendo that only genuine DJ's know how to create - you could be instantly teleported beneath central station going wild with a couple hundred nutty Glaswegians!

You can tell from this that Slam are still passionate about the music, and with a second album on the way you can't help but feel the best is yet to come. This particular CD rates up there with Subculture, Decks FX & 909 and Stacey Pullen's DJ Kicks in the kick-arse mix stakes, and it comes thoroughly recommended to the faithful and potential converts alike.

tech-house: see what the buzz is all about.......2001-01-15

The Slam party has come to a head, culminating in this two hour showcase of where the evolving sound pushed by Glasgow DJs and production duo Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle heads for 2001. The Soma label A&R guys, who also host the Soma parties in London's The End, have undoubtedly found their take on underground dance floor music - house and techno of all shades - surging forward from like-minded producers Layo, Bushwacka, and Mr. C, a rousing combination of crisp, tight beats and warm tones currently tagged tech-house.

Of which you get many of the finest examples to date; the latin charge of Sueno Latino's "Sueno Latino (Bushwacka Mix)" and Mark Flash's "Timbales Calientes," Bushwacka's dark and DJ-fave "Healer," elements of tribal dub through San Fran's Hipp-E, and remixes from those in the know, Derrick Carter and the Slam gents themselves. Ah, and Silicon Soul's deliciously groovy "Right On, Right On," their own mix of an already excellent "Right on 4 the Darkness." So any cop then? Well, there's a few slick cuts that nonetheless exist as DJ-tools, and the second disc drops off. Certainly the original "Jaguar" by DJ Rolando should have been picked over the included version. Small pickings, those wanting to hear what the buzz is all about should start here. Grade: B+ (disc 1) B (disc 2)

Average customer rating: Overall great tracks. Groovylicious, baby.

Album Description

This is the second installment of the very popular Past Lessons/Future Theories, and is a showcase of the last seven years of Distinct'ive Records. Label artists such as Dub Pistols, Hybrid and Way Out West all have a handful of tracks on both CDs. An exclusive Twitch & Sweat remix of "Higher Than A Skyscraper" also features, having been reworked by the Hybrid boys themselves. Other tracks that stand out include Golden Girls' "Kinetic", Lennie D Ice's "We Are IE" and Kevin Aviance's "Din Da Da" to name but a few.

The second disc is a house compilation that features more up to date releases from not only Distinct'ive but also its INK sublabel. This disc also contains some top new releases as well as a couple of exclusive forthcoming white labels. 2002 producers of the moment John Creamer & Stephane K also appear with not only one of their infamous remixes but also with a couple of original artist tracks. "Love Is A Drug" feat. Paul Bosco and "Storm" feat. Susana are given their first commercial release on CD and are set to be big hits in 2004.

Customer Reviews:

Overall great tracks........2006-03-12

It's great to hear a 2-CD compilation as strong as this. CD-2, however, really stands out. Especially Tracks 1, 6, 7, 8. It's a well-thought out house music continuous mix that you can leave in your CD player and have one heck of a fun party.

Groovylicious, baby........2004-06-12

A tasty dollop of nighttime dance music spread out over 2 discs - the first CD unloads a fresh platter of mid-tempo but infectious breaks with thumps and drums and even some bass rolling around at the bottom. Bumps and taps swap out and roll around in their kinetic dart-around rhythmic way and put a hook under your brain to keep you listening and gyrating. The mood is cool like shades and brings the flavor of the night to your ears. Now you're warmed up for the house attack on disc two, which kicks off with "True to Form," an oddly Cure/Depeche Mode-ish filtered through house type track. Then it's on to the smooth moves and disco balls of "Tide of Dreams," "It'll Be Okay," "West Ghost" and more. Potent, groove-laden steady house bumpin' comes rolling at you, settin' those dance lights to flickering. There's a smooth tinge in common between these two discs, both featuring beat-driven tunes amped by spartan but lovely melodies and titillating textures, the primary difference being the beats. CD 1 throws at you the scattergun bop of breakbeats, set at mid-speed, while CD 2 rolls in on big steady house wheels. Yummy. -- one of the weekly reviews from Raves.com written by Kristofer Upjohn

Positive Education Always Corrects Error.......2001-01-04

Allright, i'll have to admit to being a wee bit biased on this one. In my opinion, Slam are the business. Their Soma record label is one of the most innovative and consistently excellent on the scene, their work as Slam, Pressure Funk and Counter Plan never fails to impress, and their '94 classic 'Positive Education' remains arguably one of the best techno records of all time.

I've been hoping for a Slam mix to come out since my first mindblowing night at the arches ... so when I recently found a copy, it was with shedloads of anticipation that I breathlessly crammed it into my CD player..

As with most DJ mix formats these days, the package is spread out over two CDs, which leads you to expect (and later get) a chilled out set on one, and a more floor-friendly and lively set on the other. The cover art is also pretty indicative of the genre - the warm colours, the angular and retro-futuristic architecture of the motorway overpass and the implicit journey theme give cues of what is to come. Looks pretty cool as well.

Flipping it over, the tracklisting looks promisingly creative and original, containing remixes of old school classics like the anthemic Sueno Latino and Chez Damier's 'Close' with the today's hottest tracks like Bushwacka's monstrous 'Healer'. We also get to hear a lot of excellent grooves from some new British up-and-comers. The most obvious tracks are new mixes of Positive Education (forgiven!) and Jaguar (ditto!). They still rock!

The technical quality of the mixing is excellent if that is the sort of thing that interests you. Slam are true veterans, having been a part of the formation of the Scottish scene back in '88, achieving legendary status during their residency at the Atlantis nights at the sub. Today they continue to hold their own with the best of them on the international DJ circuit as well as at home with their wild boat parties and club nights.

However, the best thing about these mixes is the track selection and programming - imaginatively fusing underground house and techno in the deep and funky Soma style. Wambonix blends into E-Dancer in a way that sounds not only totally natural but positively lovely, and the momentum continues to build into a crecendo that only real DJ's know how to create - if you let the music take you, you can almost taste the vibe - you're instantly teleported beneath central station with a couple hundred nutty Glaswegians!
