Night Slugs Showcase... June 2010

As contenders for Producers of 2009, L-Vis 1990 and Bok Bok were literally on fire... and now their most prized possession is making noises all of it's own.

Exciting week for the Night Slugs crew - their fourth official release is out this week from funky badman Lil Silva, and they're putting on room 2 for Fact Magazine's Cable party - the coming together of a lot of hard work from the Night Slugs crew. Blending UK and US styles like no other, the NS camp sound like no-one else right now.

The latest release on the label... Lil Silva's Night Skanker EP, is a perfect example of this - a fully upfront mix of UK Funky and Grime. Two classic Lil Silva tracks sit perfectly alongside some newer hits and one of the tastiest mash ups we've heard in a long time. Previous releases have seen the NS crew take on aspects of Juke, Bruk, Detroit, House and much much more. For a taste of what to expect, check this free giveaway from Night Slugs (only available on vinyl until recently). Also please grab the Night Skanker EP if you're feeling it... just click the image and you'll be taken to it.

Bok Bok's showcase mix ties all the previous releases together aswell as giving an exclusive look into what is forthcoming on the Night Slugs label.... If this mix is anything to go by, Night Slugs will no doubt be the label of 2010. No tracklisting for this one, so trainspotter's represent... first one to send us it, get's a packet of Starmix Haribo!

Also don't forget that Night Slugs will be in town this Friday (June 4th) collaboration with We Fear Silence and Fact Magazine for a top night down @ Cable... Ram @ Fabric is now sold out, and you'll have to queue up at 8pm to get in on the door there, so you now have no excuse to head down... Facebook info here!

Introducing... Girl Unit

Today, I'm introducing you to yet another up and coming producer... and the next special delivery from the Night Slugs boys we know better as, L-Vis 1990 and Bok Bok. Back in January, we were graced with the epic launch of the Night Slugs label, and Mosca's Square One EP... two original productions and five remixes deep, NS001, was a simply awesome debut.

They say that second and third releases are the hardest part of game, but make no mistake, Night Slugs have done it again with their forthcoming releases With NS002, Egyptrixx - The Only Way Up coming out Monday and then next month, NS003... Girl Unit - I.R.L.
Hailed as Jan Driver's Rat Alert meets Juke @ 135... I.R.L. is certainly going to force your attention as much as this promo mix Girl Unit has made available for our listening pleasure in the build up to the release, next month.

I've been following Girl Unit on and off over the past 6 weeks or so since I heard Bok Bok play I.R.L live on Ustream... if this mix is up your street then head over to Girl Uni's MySpace where there's plenty more action on offer.
