So there was the DJ and music producer duo called Slam consisting of Orde Meikle and Stuart McMillan who met in 1986 in Sheffield, where former was studying Geography at university and later was working in a bar.

They did try to get some help from the rock infrastructure that existed in Scotland and sell the idea to a couple of people involved in the music industry, but they failed.

So they decided to go to a small studio to make their first couple of tracks with Rejuvenation – duo from UK, consisting of Jim Muotune and Glenn Gibbons and press 1000 records of the techno EP called "Eterna / I.B.O.".

We never had a grand plan and that's probably the reason why it lasted so long.Soma is most known for releasing the original vinyl version of Daft Punk's track Da Funk in 1995.

[7][9] On 31 March 2017 they turned 25 years old and to celebrate their anniversary, Soma enlisted Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Adam Beyer and many others to contribute to a special box set ″Soma25″, which includes their long-lost remix of Daft Punk's ″Drive″.
