four trax taken from helixs greatest hits vol 2 lp. classic house, disco and atl rap motifs reimagined as rough-and-ready nu skool club trax.

3 hard, loopy. rolling techno-ish club movers taken from helix s greatest hits vol 3. a-side -the lyot remix comes with a show-stopping triplets rhythm and guitar riff over 7+ minutes of jack track. b-sides go grime-tech and funky club respectively, all unmistakably helix.

earthly versions sind grandiose, bassgetriebene clubremixes aus dem aktuellen jam city album *dream a garden* für zwei ausnahmetracks. plus der bislang unveröffentlichte bonustrack *dream 15*.

nach der zerklüfteten gefühlskälte seines debütalbums *classical curves* (2012) legt der britische produzent jam city nun ein sinnliches werk mit modernen popsongs zwischen grime, hip hop, post-punk, country, gotik und moderne vor. musik zur transzendenz, aber auch zur konfrontation. ein werk über liebe und widerstand. stets roh, stets tief in rot.

an artefact from a perfect studio long abandoned, bok bok drops this alternative deleted mix of his new single *melbas call*. this version will be available on limited 10&#8243,,, vinyl only, as part of the night slugs white label series. both the original mix (released digitally march 31st) and this version feature kelela, the powerful vocalist behind the smash cut 4 me mixtape, released last year on fade to mind. boks instrumental melted in the trash, mangled tape dragging his cyborg funk to an excruciating, ruined memphis-like quarter-time. meanwhile kelela remains as immediate as ever, evoking r&b greats from a cannon she is clearly set to join. to be played loud and preferably in the dark.

night slugs resume the club constructions dj tools series with 4 fire beats from djc.

neana returns to night slugs white label series with two super-hot bootlegs! vinyl only limited run for the djs

following on from last years *your charizmatic self* ep, night slugs executive producer bok bok teams up with composer and keyboardist sweyn jupiter on a romantic new double a-side single.

girl units club-dwelling hysterics alias makes his first appearance on the night slugs main series. his opening statement via club constructions vol. 5 introduced a dungeon world of hydraulic rhythm tracks driven by primal exertion. hysterics ep offers a first glimpse of colour from the artist (mainly oxidised bronze!).

neana makes his night slugs debut with two huge bootlegs. both sides showcase the young producers unique style, melding grime, ballroom beats and the ns club constructions manifesto into a new club sound of all his own.

nach der hochgelobten -southside ep- aus 2011 mit der clubhymne -silo pass- legt bok bok, produzent und betreiber des angesagten labels night slugs, seine neue arbeit vor. deren keytrack ist der fantastische r&g (rhythm n grime)-track -melba s call- mit kelela on vocals, eine der talentiertesten neuen vocalhoffnungen für 2014. bok boks r&g-style vereint den soul des r&b mit der potenz des grime

night slugs whitelabel series continues with two new re-takes on tracks from l-vis 1990s ballads ep. pairing a vip mix from l-vis 1990s personal crates and yet another vicious bootleg from helix, these stark dystopian remixes allow both producers to follow their impulses towards the dark side

since his 2011 debut lp *bible eyes*, psutka has been busy with various studio production projects as well as recording and touring with his side-project hiawatha. his return as egyptrixx takes the form of a multi-media collaboration with berlin-based visual artist a.n.f. (andreas fischer). together the pair focused on a process - a set of meaning-through-reduction principles applied to both sound and video - with atmosphere, repetition and texture given priority over traditional ideas of narrative and song structure.

egyptrixx gives a glimpse into his forthcoming second album on night slugs with the vinyl-only cut *water (reduced)*. the hi-definition crystalline world of his previous album *bible eyes* has sunken, submerged. *water* takes place in some vast molten expanse, a subterranean electrical storm expressed as acid-tech. this 12 inch features the reduced dub, stripped of melody to for full hypnotic effect. the full version can be heard on the forthcoming album, titled *a/b til infinity*. on the flip: helix keeps bootlegging our records. he cuts up the masters and edits them up like fruity loops lego, applying the same post-timbaland stutter-logic that was amplified so dramatically in 03-06 grime. here he puts his hand to egyptrixx blastbeats-heavy *adult*, also taken from the forthcoming *a/b til infinity* lp. the results are extremely punishing but compelling listening.

it is jam citys turn to deliver a batch of sweaty, streamlined dancefloor weapons on the 6th installment of the club constructions series. the minimalism and intensity of jersey club music remains a huge influence on the whole night slugs camp, and while jerseys impact can be felt across the cc series, jam city channels those devastating ghostly kick drums like none other. continuing on from where he left off with club favourites *the courts* the *how we relate to the body*, jam drops 5 lean and intense drum workouts build from scrap metal and primed for warehouse use. they move between thudding midrange persistence and just-sub-and-air minimalism, framed by jammed drum machine rhythms and splashes of re-sampled colour. jam decorates these sturdy and well-deployed undercarriages with silvery detail, percussion fragments, broken talkboxes, whispered vox and simple, beautiful chords.

with volume 5 of the club constructions series we introduce hysterics, a new project from philip gamble, better known as the breakout night slugs producer girl unit

atlanta-based helix expands on the techno/grime hybridity hinted at on his hit drum track 12 inch with the newest instalment of night slugs club constructions series. it is apt that some of the original material shortlisted for this release was lost to the digital tides, subsequently having to be restored or rebuilt in night slugs london studio during a visit by helix in late 2012.

3 brand new vital club tracks from l-vis 1990!

amens on night slugs? og grime producer p jam serves up a curveball on the latest instalment of the white label series.

the newest installment in our nswl series sees us borrow two brand new tracks from the forthcoming night slugs allstars volume 2 compilation, cut to glorious 12 inch vinyl (with love and care as always by precise mastering). two highly melodic, colourful r&b/hip hop instrumentals dripping with slugs flavour.

next stompin uk funky / garage / dupstep from jam city...

for the third installment of our club construction series we proudly re-issue a modern classic straight out of baltimore, usa.

the latest in the night slugs white label series an installment of other-worldy grime instrumentals from label boss bok bok.

lil silva returns to night slugs to drop the second installment in our new club constructions series.
cc is all about stripped-back, raw and highly functional tracks made specifically for the club. where l-vis 1990s first venture into the series presented a brutalist vision of house, silvas volume 2 represents the vital flip side to the concept: broken, grimey rhythm tracks.

in true organic style - just like when vonstroke asked to remix >wut< - rather than being commissioned by ns this release happened because the remixers approached bok bok with their enthusiasm to work on his 2011 grime hit >silo pass<.

introducing club constructions, a new series of releases that will operate alongside night slugs main eps and white label series. a new home for our most direct productions, cc will run as a channel for raw and tracky material aimed straight for the dancefloor. the first cc volume comes from l-vis 1990. hot on the heals of his >neon dreams< lp, l-vis dives further into the house music whirlpool, drawing on classic dance mania and underground construction vibes (think robert armani building trax for 2012) to deliver 5 tape-saturated, strictly-analog slices of modern-day ghetto hard house. strictly for peak time use!

the long awaited dubplate anthem is here! as soon as we at ns-hq heard >drum track<, we knew atlantas helix would fit right in around here. his two main obsessions are old grime and looping hypnotic berlin techno. and it shows, as both collide here to produce the ultimate rhythm track. this is anthemic 8 bar techno, or sublow gone hands-in-the-air raving. this trak destroyed every festival we played at last summer. this is super-stripped down, poised club music - exactly what night slugs is all about. on the flip, we are honoured to have one of our all-time favourite mic controllers flirta d bless drum track with his >no hook no bs< version. known best for such grime bangers as slks >hype hype< and his own >warp speed<, flirta brings that unique sound-effects laden flow to the riddim like its 2004 again and triumphant rave anthems are going off once more.

introducing >the courts 12 inch, the first single from jam citys forthcoming debut album, out later this year on night slugs. a double-a side release that showcases the two extremes of the lps material - the sublime and the industrial. on the a-side is >the courts<, jcs rawest dancefloor-orientated work yet. hyper-tense club music built of skids, dribbles, passes, big jersey kicks, and permeated by an ostentatious slap bass. the result is a pounding, jacking grid of a rhythm track, moments of on-court action reassembled with robotic efficiency. on the flip, jam city links up with oaklands main attrakionz for a very special collaboration called >the nite life<. squadda b and mondrem.a.n. drop mesmerising other-wordly verses over jam’s low-slung beat. the atmosphere is dense, hazy with purple smoke and submerged in the smoggy californian marine layer.

fresh from starting us sister label fade to mind, kingdom is back on planet night slugs with a new 4 track ep. the long-awaited >let you no< continues where fogs (ns006) left off: a cinematic half-time environment of snap percussion and winding eski synths, with a longing performance from a disembodied diva, the track s anonymous guest star.

night slugs present the >waterworx< 12 inch from jam city. following on from last years >magic drops<, this is the south london producers second full salvo for the label. where magic drops was on a grime/crunk tip, waterworx is a portal into jcs unique universe via stripped down, tracky house. on this 12 inch he clears his substantial cache of club material before focussing on his debut album, to follow later this year.

***claude vonstroke remix***

at long last, night slugs drop a ep from the labels co-founder bok bok. representing his full gamut of influences as well as his labels hypercolour, bottom-heavy, club-ready aesthetic, the southside ep is an extend manifesto of a release for the south london dj / producer.
the three tracks on the 12 inch share a core sound palette, one that merges raw and convulsive acid house with functionalist 8-bar grime: the warm sound of vintage drum machines and analog bass combined with the razor-sharp, dystopian digital dread of noxious sawtooths and gliding squares.

the newest addition to night slugs vinyl-only nswl series will make a lot of djs happy. on the a side, kingdom edits girl units hyper-dramatic >every time<, stripping out the original vocal chops, and adding in their place the voice of a of a certain unmentionable but iconic r&b star. this is a bootleg thats been a staple of many night slugs sets from the last few months - not to be missed. on the flip, by popular demand ns press up kingdoms >fogs<, a track that never saw vinyl the first time round. a mystical eski melody moves into a moody and stripped down stepper, in turn exploding into unexpected 4x4 as kingdom manipulates yet more r&b vocals like only he knows how. this 12 inch is strictly limited so once its gone, its gone. dont sleep!

the newest installment in night slugs vinyl-only nswl series is dedicated to >liberation front<, a track taken from egyptrixx debut lp >bible eyes<, released on ns earlier this year. without a doubt the albums biggest dancefloor cut, >liberation front is built to work best in huge rooms, stirring thousands of people at a time into a frenzy. on the a side, the original track is taken on by dj mike q, a stalwart of the vogue / ballroom club scene of his native new jersey. mike delivers an incredibly raw and stripped down remix of >liberation front<, re-working egyptrixxs unique sound design into a matrix of hard kicks, runway percussion and the of course the ballroom genres masters at work-sampling dramatic ha snare. an uncompromising rhythm track, this is club music at its most direct. as a bonus, the a side also features an edit of mike qs remix by bok bok, re-arranging the track and adding a tuff acid bassline to bring that soundsytem weight ns is known for. meanwhile keeping djs happy, the b side is dedicated to the original mix of >liberation front< in its full seven-minute glory.

two white hot refixes by pearson sound aka ramadanman on the night slugs white label series. this guy is one of the hottest (and more importantly, best) producers around just now.

egyptrixxs debut album bible eyes is set for an early march release on cult london label night slugs. recorded over three months during the summer of 2010, bible eyes is a complete work that brings together elements of techno, house, hip hop and pop, while possessing a unique continuity - almost a story arch - of its own.

introducing the official debut single from jam city.
following on from his smash hit vinyl-only refixes ep, released on night slugs in the summer, which sold out almost as soon as it was released, >magic drops< gives a glimpse of whats to come from the young south london producer.
since being announced by the music press as >the most exciting prospect in house< as long as a year ago, jam city has kept a low profile, all the while building up a large body of work that is as cohesive as it is startlingly original. night slugs will be putting out much of this material in the near future - more announcements on that soon.

earlier this year, girl unit dropped his debut >irl< ep on night slugs, introducing to the world his unique style of futuristic, 808-driven club trax. now after months of anticipation, comes his mammoth followup in the form of the intergalactic smash hit >wut<.

another transatlantic soundclash on night slugs, this time centered around the new york-based r&b / acid house band cubic zirconia. on the a-side, elite hyperdub producer ikonika remixes cubic zirconias >hoes come out at night<, letting tiombe lockharts dirty rap vocals ride her charging 145bpm riddim. infused with all of ikonikas signature cosmic synthwork, the hoes remix is also delightfully ghettotech-flavoured and primed for peak-time dancefloors. on the flip things get deeper as night slugs captain bok bok and cubic zirconias nick hook collaborate on an retrofuturistic acid-bassline banger by the name of >reclash<. this time tiombe is a ghostly presence, delivering disorientating incantations over bok and hooks jacking 808 drums and soaring synth psychedelia. night slugs booty from outer space.

the latest ep on the night slugs label comes from shamanic us producer kingdom, and is literally epic in span. its title track >that mystic< was built almost two years ago while some others were finished as recently as a few weeks before the release date. the ep also contains his most advanced, engrossing material to date.
the tracks are as abstract and challenging as they are honed and club-ready. this is essential contemporary club music!

night slugs present their latest 12 inch, this time from label co-captain and international heavyweight l-vis 1990.
l-vis homecoming release on his and bok boks own label takes a dive deeper into house music space-time, simultaneously drawing on acid past while looking to the future with a modernist restraint. on the a-side is >forever you<, featuring a lush, soulful vocal from bristols shadz, whose longing lyrics gliding over l-vis pulsating neon chords. >forever you< glows luminescent with ecstasy - l-vis 1990s most accomplished work yet.on the flip is >reprise<, which gathers elements from all the tracks featured on the digi ep and reforms them into the record s surprise heavy bass banger. essential upfront dancefloor material!

in recent years lil silva has been responsible for some of the uks biggest underground bangers, with his uniquely stripped-back, heavyweight style blending jacking house with the raw sonic energy of 1st generation grime.
following up on his ltd white label release in april, night slugs are proud to present night skanker, lil silvas iconic new ep.
the four melodic, synth-laden tracks are typically raw and grimey but also run deeper with a newfound luminescence. constructed from a robotic new sound palette, silvas tuff flange-funk drum programming and twisted carnival rhythms are permeated by razor-sharp neon synths, jacking cowbells, massive slabs of sub bass and even silvas own sampled vocals. these are industrial-size riddims for worldwide dancefloor demolition!

night slugs announce the latest installment in their white label series - the much-anticipated debut 12 inch of london producer jam city. on the a side, the psychedelic grime interplorer ecstasy refix glows with warmth at its analog core. a jubilant tribute to the art of the grime refix, the track simultaneously recalls two disparate by-gone eras, to devastating effect. on the b side, night slugs favourite >let me bang refix< drowns a gutter house classic in sheer beams of searing fluorescent synth. jam city borrows a vintage wiley meme on closing track >shut the lights off (devil mix)<, all but void of a drum kit it hangs in suspension, awash in sublime synths. this ep is available only on limited vinyl.

by popular demand, night slugs press bok bok and l-vis 1990s remixes of the labels smash debut release >square one< by mosca. >square one< declared war on genre limitations in uk underground club music, drawing influence from grime, dubstep, garage, house and techno to create something entirely new. fittingly, the night slugs label bosses use their remixes to stretch the tracks source material into two extreme opposite directions. l-vis 1990s mix draws out moscas trancey synths and hypnotic pads into an arching, cavernous crescendo, before dropping the track into a thunderous, jacking bigroom house riddim. bok bok puts those same synths to use as part of a crunked-out stepper, all 808 snaps and triplets fills that reference bangladesh, rustie and lil jon in equal parts, until he drowns it all in his signature washes of neon synth ecstasy.

the 12 inch promo for night slugs third official release presents one of the biggest underground tracks of the year - girl units mighty >irl<. following years of djing alongside the night slugs camp and recent remixes for palms out sounds and buraka som sistemas enchufada label, this will be girl units debut solo release. already a massive underground anthem in london, >irl< is being sought after by djs far and wide. the tracks broken 808 drumkit captures the manic energy of chicagos footwork/juke movement at a uk-friendly 135bpm, while its monster island horns signal the coming of an ominous beast. big twelve!

night slugs are extremely proud to announce a new addition to their roster in the form of the one and only lil silva! the young mastermind behind potent uk funky anthems such as seasons, funky flex, different and the funky pulse, lil silvas house-meets-grime style has become iconic of the ukf scene. his tracks are cornerstones for djs like marcus nasty, who describes them as having the unique ability to consistently bun down raves. with that in mind lil silvas addition to the night slugs family makes perfect sense. his contribution to their limited vinyl-only white label series is a taster of what can be expected from his official ep for ns, dropping later this year. in the mean time feast yourself on the ultra-upfront a million, featuring carnival synths, glass breaks and snare destruction in the typical silva fashion. on the flip, silva pays tribute to house pioneer kenny dope in the form of the ultra-stripped down bassline-driven banger no hooks. bruckout time!

bok bok and l-vis 1990s night slugs label returns with its second official release: the only way up ep by unique toronto-based producer egyptrixx. egyptrixx makes celestial club music, jeep jams for a saturn desert. over the years his tracks have called on diverse styles from booty house to dubstep, but all of them share an exhilarating wrong-but-right tension a shifting balance between melodic and dissonant, rapturous and antisocial. at 122bpm, the eps lead track the only way up is the ultimate subtle banger. a clattering rimshot beat plays host to immense swelling synths that build until breaking point, before a dangerously low sub drives the track to sheer soundsystem ecstasy. hypnotic, mesmerising, punishing... nothing sounds quite like it. the eps second original offering follows on the title tracks subtlety with some good old-fashioned splatter violence. with its elastic bassline and warped synths everybody bleeding is like a horrific futurist take on dj deeons accelerate - definitely a riddim for the worlds tougher dancefloors. the full digital package includes three very special remixes: hyperdubs first lady ikonika reinterprets the only way up as a soaring, blissed-out piece of synthnbass, permeated by choir pads and her signature emotive moog. night slugs nyc representative kingdom goes in hard, borrowing the celestial synths of everybody bleeding to put together a maw-sampling ballroom club banger, featuring incredibly ominous original vocals from shyvonne, familiar to us from their mind reader collaboration

the second installment of the night slugs white label throws down a london vs paris soundclash, as the ns crew dissolve two modern-day french house bangers in the uk melting pot. on the a side, bok bok and greena bring their grime/house styles together and set to work on noob & brodinskis anthem >peanuts club<, twisting the original around itself into a dancefloor-orientated 16-bar grime rhythm, laden with sucking synths, broken carnival percussion, disembodied diva groans and booming hits of sub bass. meanwhile on the flip l-vis 1990 escalates gucci vumps >sha shti< to true vip status. bringing the originals momentum into a new london-orientated dimension, this re-edited remix goes deep into late-night blissed-out house territory with its unique technicolor lead, a sea-sick pitch bend driving relentlessly forward.

londons bass champion and one half of the infamous night slugs team is l vis 1990. a name synonymous with the whole uk funky / post garage and house movement thats proving to be the most exciting thing in electronic music right now. following releases on mad decent and tres cool, l vis is kicking off his new label (conceived with fellow tastemaker bok bok) alongside this weeks new release from mosca (check that), with two tracks that slew genres and blur all boundaries in their wake. originally released only digitally on dj orgasmic and teki latexs sound pellegrino label, compass and zahonda are now finally available on super loud vinyl. this is a limited edition.

bok bok & l vis 1990s night slugs, londons hub for futuristic club music, has gone from strength to strength in the last two years. 2010 sees the launch of the night slugs record label, bringing through a crew of supremely talented new protagonists.

since his 2011 debut lp *bible eyes*, psutka has been busy with various studio production projects as well as recording and touring with his side-project hiawatha. his return as egyptrixx takes the form of a multi-media collaboration with berlin-based visual artist a.n.f. (andreas fischer). together the pair focused on a process - a set of meaning-through-reduction principles applied to both sound and video - with atmosphere, repetition and texture given priority over traditional ideas of narrative and song structure.
