Way back in June 2007, Beatportal organised a remix competition with Scottish techno duo Slam for their single ‘We’re Not Here’, and one of the runners up was a guy named Michael Weldon from Glasgow.

Since then, Weldon aka Mr. Copy, has built up a good relationship with Slam and Soma, and 18 months later one of his tracks is being featured on the label’s fresh talent ‘Somabeta 002’ compilation. ‘Derive’ is an absolute belter of a techno tune.

‘Derive’ drives the dancefloor home with layers after layers of bleepy percussive techno rhythms, before kicking into a Popof style bass monster.

‘Somabeta 002’ incidentally also features a track from Joe Stawarz who won the remix competition, so it’s great to see good things come from the contests and that labels are supporting the new talent they find.
