Slam
Slam is the Scottish DJ/production duo Stuart McMillan (born 1966, Glasgow) and Orde Meikle (born 1964, Oxford), childhood friends who began DJing together in the late 1980s, first residency at Glasgow's Fury Murrys ('Black Market' night). They took their name from Phuture's acid house track 'Slam', released their debut 'Eterna' in 1991, and broke through with 1993's 'Positive Education' on Soma Quality Recordings the label they co-founded that same year with Dave Clarke and Glenn Gibbons. Straddling house and techno, they remain key figures in post-rave European dance music, marking 35 years together with a sold-out Glasgow show.
