Night Slugs

Alex Sushon is the founder and label manager of London based record label Night Slugs,^[1] which has featured releases by Girl Unit, L-Vis 1990, Jam City, Egyptrixx, Helix, P Jam, Pearson Sound, and Mosca. Night Slugs sprang from the clubnight started by Sushon and James Connolly, aka L-Vis 1990, after they connected on MySpace.^[2][3][4] "Bok Bok already had a solid grounding in sound-system culture; his interest was piqued by a DJ Slimzee mix in 2003, and then, as the grime scene evolved, he shied away toward raw, upbeat grooves from further afield: Baltimore breaks, Detroit ghetto-tech, the footwork/ghetto house hybrids in Chi-Town, and South African arch riddim constructions".^[5] Under Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990's guidance, the label/collective has developed a sound which was described by Spin Magazine as a mutable hybrid of grime, house, electro, R&B, techno, hip-hop, and dubstep.^[6][7] Bok Bok's first EP release, entitled Southside, was described as having "a muscular grime foundation with thick bass, bright synths" by XLR8R Magazine.^[8] In March 2015 Bok Bok paired up with London Keyboardist/Composer Sweyn Jupiter for double A-Side single ‘Papaya Lipgloss’. The track was released on Night Slugs on 17th March. The sensual club mix fuses synesthetic keyboards and glossy electro-funk.^[9] In September 2015, Bok Bok embarked on tour across.^[10] In July 2016 Bok Bok headed out on a summer tour across America, Europe, Asia and Australia. ^[11]
