Scots music stars Glasvegas and Slam have joined forces for a special collaboration.
Recently Glasvegas frontman and songwriter James Allan pushed his boundaries and came up with an amazing song called Shake The Cage (für Theo), which is dedicated to his young nephew Theo.
After hearing it, Slam's Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle were hooked and they spent the night talking about how they could collaborate with Glasvegas on the track.

Dressing it up in a different way, and it still suits the song. I'm glad we got the chance to work together.
“The sounds they added are brilliant. There are a lot of nuanced details that they've included, that are more complicated to achieve than you might think when first hearing the song. And the reason I know that is because I've spent hours with the song in the first place. The remix sounds quite vicious, and you can never really go wrong with that. I urge the listener to turn it up loud and let their house fall down. It will be worth it.”
Stuart McMillan of Slam said: “We were brought together by a mutual friend, it was at the height of the lockdown period. A time when everything and everybody somehow felt displaced and disconnected. The track just seemed to fit the mood
