NIGHT SLUGS 001

Ever since myself and L-Vis 1990 launched Night Slugs back in March 2008 we've been dedicated to cutting-edge club music, and this year that focus will be manifested in the new Night Slugs label.

I'm proud to announce our first release: the debut EP from soon-to-be-star and posterboy of the UK crossover nu-skool, MOSCA

NS001, The Square One EP is out on the 25th of Jan 2010 at your usual mp3 stores with a limited 12" doing the rounds around the same time. The 8-track-deep digi EP features the title track, already a dubplate anthem of 2009 and a bastion of genre-destroying UK Club. The B-side is Mosca's "Nike", a 10-minute masterpiece: "A sense of epic grandeur befitting global house, shuddering dub echoes straight from Jamaica, Latino percussion and still undeniably UK" writes Dan Hancox in the Guardian.

Completing the package are the "Square One" remixes from Greena, Roska, Julio Bashmore, myself Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990.




To celebrate our launch we're pleased to give away Greena's amazing Square One remix!

Taking the broken house of the original, Greena twists Square One into a pumping, respiring percussive workout, permeated by synth tones that are in turns warming, jubilant and unsettling.


This is going to be a busy year with releases planned from Egyptrixx, Kingdom, Jam City, Greena, Girl Unit as well as myself and L-vis.

Lil Silva - No Hooks

Lil Silva's tribute to Kenny Dope originally came out on white label 12" on Night Slugs earlier this year. Those whites have all but sold out so to celebrate the release of his new "Night Skanker" EP, we've decided to give the track away:

Out today, the Night Skanker EP features 4 brand new, synth-heavy tracks from Lil Silva that signal a progression from his roots in up-front UK funky. Still as grimey as ever, the new tracks also possess a new million-mile gaze, a deeper celestial drive than before.
We've also included two of Silva's absolute classics on this EP, "Seasons" and "Pulse VS Flex". Both tracks have been key in shaping the development of the what-dyou-call-it UK zeitgeist we're part of today, and both have been next-to-impossible to get hold of digitally, so we've had them remastered, finally giving them the platform they deserve!
