win a dubplate of Girl Unit's IRL!

This coming monday sees the release of Girl Unit's incredible "IRL" EP featuring the title track that is driving London crazy. With heavy support form top-ranking DJs and intense anticipation from everyone else, it's safe to say we're excited about this record.

So much so that we've decided to give away the dubplate you can see being cut in the above video to one lucky Night Slugs/ Girl Unit fan. This is a one-off accetate dubplate of "IRL" with another track from the forthcoming EP called "Shade On" on the flip. It was lovingly cut at Music House in London a few days ago specially to give away to one of you. Two runners up will also get test presses of the IRL 12" we'll be putting out.

Just answer the following question:

What does GIRL UNIT stand for?

The winners will be picked at random from the correct entries.

And remember - for the London crew, we're celebrating the release of "IRL" this thursday at East Village at Night Slugs # 12 featuring Ikonika, R1 Ryders, myself and L-Vis 1990 and of course Girl Unit at the controls!

GIRL UNIT MIX 2010

GIRL UNIT's already anthemic track "I R L" will be dropping on Night Slugs at the end of April.

His new promo mix is as epic in scope as his influences, and pretty much presents in an hour everything that makes Night Slugs tick: vibes from London via Chicago, Detroit, The Hague, Soweto, into outer space.

The juke segment at the end of the mix is particularly on point - There's been a wave of interest in the Chicago ghetto style out here recently, much of it fuelled by Addison Groove's incredible track "Footcrab". Where AG perfectly captures the half-time(implied)double-time vibe of 160bmp juke at a London-friendly tempo, Girl Unit's "IRL" draws inspiration from the downright unstable-sounding Footwork subgenre, with pitched 808 toms, tumbling triplets and percussive irregularities. ]
However as much as the juke influence is key to the track, IRL's signature neon beams of sawtooth FM synth along with its gaseous atmospherics position it in an entirely new place outside of the sonic geographics of both London and Chicago.
