20 years of Soma quality en route (with exclusive Daft Punk cut)

It’s been one of the institutions Scottish heads have been most proud of, for longest. An emblem of house and techno- from straight up floor fillers to sounds from the fringes- with the partnership of Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle, AKA Slam, at the helm, and techno deity Dave Clarke heavily involved, what in 1991 probably seemed like a laugh was always going to turn into something pretty special.

Soma Quality Recordings celebrates two decades of business in 2011, and to mark reaching the second set of double digits those in charge have put together a triple pack consisting of rarities, classics, unreleased cuts (not least a previously unheard outing from Homework-era Daft Punk, shelved circa 1994), a Slam DJ mix, and another from Silicone Soul. The package is available from September 19th. Sprawled over the three discs you can find work from Slam and Silicone Soul (which kind of goes without saying really), while names like Funk D’Void, Samuel L. Session, Vector Lovers, Percy X, H- Foundation, Tony Thomas, and Alex Smoke also appear. Full tracklist below, more information here.
