Well, the wait is over and the EP has begun to ship and has hit digital retailers already. Go grab it, you know that you need this in your life.

To celebrate this the final Dress 2 Sweat release – Bok Bok/L-Vis 1990 “Night Slugs EP” – and transforming into new label Numbers Jackmaster mixed a special CD with highlights from the Dress 2 Sweat catalogue + we also have the new video from L-Vis 1990 for the VIP version of his stellar remix of the Gucci Vump track “Sha!

UK genius L-Vis 1990 is definetely one of the most hyped up producers in 2009 going from strength to strength with his funky yet bass heavy releases; he started out with the massive “United Groove” single on Mad Decent, moved onto the recent smash “Night Slugs EP” together with fellow Londoner Bok Bok on Dress 2 Sweat and now he joins the ranks over at the new heavy hitters in Sound Pellegrino with his stunning “Compass/Zahonda EP”. Christian Martin (of Dirtybird fame) gives us his more evil electro/techno take on “Compass”.

We’ve been meaning to get Alex Sushon AKA Bok Bok - dj/producer/graphic designer who’s one of the budding names in the UK dance music scene, responsible for the Night Slugs radio show/parties in London and generally one of the nicest dudes we’ve encountered – to do a mix for us for some time but since we’re all busy it took a little while to get it finalized. But we can tell you that it’s definetely been worth the wait, Bok Bok comes correct with an absolutely smashing mix where every single track is stellar.

“For my installment of Mixing It Up, I wanted to give you guys a taste of where the Night Slugs sound is at right now. 2009 has been amazing so far, people are more open-minded than ever, sets are diverse and suddenly it feels like anything is possible.

To guarantee that rolling pirate style, this mix was recorded live on the decks (as I’m sure you’ll hear!). I recommend listening on a night drive / while cycling, or running, preferably at night, and if you’re listening at home turn up your sub!”

Bok Bok – Discobelle Mix, March 2009 (Sharebee)

1. Riva Starr – War Drums

An out-of-character tune for Riva Starr, all minimal nail-biting toms, this is the perfect ‘oh no it’s gon happen! ‘ intro.

2. Karizma – Outta Control

UK Funky hits like Donaeo’s Party Hard have got us drawing for the Defected and Strictly Rhythm back catalogs, and digging up things like this haunted riddim by Karizma. I love the brass section!

3. Essy & Vibes – Dream On

Tunes like this are the reason I like to call the new UK House movement ‘Grime in Disguise’. Tropical bass!

4. Perason Sound – Wad

This was made by a certain house and techno-infused producer of twisted dubstep – guess who. Banging broken, twitchy house with a big gutter sub. I can’t stop playing this one at the moment.

5. Martin Kemp – No Charisma

I’m sort of responsible for the title of this track – it’s a funny-ish story that I won’t tell here. This twilight riddim with the heavy kwaito pitchbending synth line was produced by Martin Kemp, the brother of badderman DJ Brackles, and is forthcoming on the later’s label.

6. Gregor Salto – Just For Fun (Bok Bok’s edit ft. Hawatha

The vocal on this track comes from Hawatha, a Texas rapper that my friend Prince William is working with at Krispee Ones studios. Out to the TX connection.

7. L-Vis 1990 – Run

This L-Vis dubplate is a current personal favourite of mine. He makes it seem so easy!

8. Emvee – Glitch Dub

The drop on this tune is devastating! UK house at it’s most cantankerous.

9. Wizzbit – Jam Nite

Wizzbit is the alias of garage>grime>funky godfather Geeneus. He’s worked a lot of styles over the years but despite Jam Nite dating back to 2003 the insane bruckout drums and the huge bassline in this tune sound more relevant than ever. Definitely one of my favourite grime classics.

10. Karizma – Darqness

If you’re driving to this mix like I recommended, this is when your vehicle takes flight. Jackin’ celestial merkery from Karizma.

11. Sarantis ft Warrior Queen – More Than Money (Starkey remix)

Starkey transforms Warrior Queen’s pining ballad for the ‘boys dem’ into a cyborg hypergrime tribute to sweet love.

12. Spooky – Got Myself Together Riddim

Spooky is king of grime bootlegs, and this is no exception. The sweet vocal hook is swiped from a classic uk garage track and twisted into Spooky’s signature carnival style.

13. Diplo & Laidback Luke – Hey! (L-Vis 1990 remix)

I love the original of this tune too, but also love how L-Vis made it sound really immersive and disorientating.

14. Zomby – Entropy

Fresh from the ever-mutating Zomby – alien, crunked-up house/grime/dubstep.

15. Joe – Rut

Rut is forthcoming on the amazing Hessle Audio, and you can tell straight away when you hear it. A beautifully executed, lush and percussive garage-dubstep track with a unique celestial warmth.

16. Lil Silva – Get Wid This

We Night Slugs are big Lil Silva fans. His decidedly grimey take on UK Funky has set a benchmark for huge, driving productions that simply destroy raves. The combination of militant brutality and luminously bright carnival synths remind me of why I love grime.

17. Bok Bok – Ram Riddim

Something that mutated out of working with L-Vis on our Bongo Jam refix. Ram, because originally there was a typo in our refix that read “Bongo Ram”. Say what you mean eh?

18. Kingdom – You

Kingdom is absolutely unique and one of my favourite producers. He blends the aesthetics of UK garage with classic rave, hardcore, jumpstyle, – even trance, with a heavy dose of the drama and emotion of classic Chicago house. His new material is on fire!

19. Matt Shadetek – Battery Charge Riddim

I love the story that Matt’s Brooklyn Riddim was appropriated up by bashment kids in NYC and it became a hit in that scene. Never one to stand by idly, Matt made a whole batch of grimey bashment/house directly aimed at that scene, this riddim is one of them. Sounds like a 4×4 Ruff Sqwad

20. Christian Martin – Elephant Fight (Justin Martin’s Jungle remix)

A deceptive subtitle for a remix that’s not Jungle style so much as it’s IS a jungle, a sweltering pressure dungeon. Those elephants are NOT happy.

21. Untold – Sweat

Forthcoming on Hotflush Recordings, this track is my rubbery yet blissed out outro. Enjoy!

We’re a tad bit late on this but hey, better late than never. Night Slugs could be the best club night in London – run by residents Bok Bok, Manara and L-Vis 1990 – tonight is edition eighth and also the first birthday party. They’re bringing in the big guns with appearances from Crazy Cousinz and Brackles. So get down to East Village in Shoreditch for a night of bass madness. To get you even more hyped, here’s the Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 refix of that huge Crazy Cousinz track “Bongo Jam”.

Crazy Cousinz – Bongo Jam (Bok Bok & L-Vis 1990 refix) (YSI)

Crazy Cousinz – Bongo Jam (Bok Bok & L-Vis 1990 refix) (Sharebee)

The mighty Trouble & Bass crew (Drop The Lime, The Captain, Star Eyes & Math Head) will take the jump across the Atlantic to London tomorrow for an apperance at Night Slugs (run by our homie Alex Bok Bok). The night will serve as a launch party for the fantastic new Drop The Lime single “Hear Me” and it will most likely be insane. Those of you in London should try to hit this but those of us unfortunate not be able to make it to this will have to listen to these tracks + mixes while imaging being liquored up and feeling that bass pound against our bodies.

First out is this tune by L-Vis 1990:

L-Vis 1990 – Apple Bass (zShare)

Then we have a Bok Bok tune from the start of 08 that never saw the light of day:

Bok Bok – Whole World Changing 4×4 (zShare)

Then we have this brand new Drop The Lime mix on which Luca sings and everything:

Drop The Lime – Summer City Heat mix (Sendspace)

Last but not least a Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 back to back effort from the Night Slugs show on Sub FM last week.

“Lots of dubplates, UK house and deep vocal flavas on this one as well as our usual heavyeight bassline selection (though less of that and more of the percussive shit) – definitely a showcase of how we’re sounding at the moment!”
