The young label Night Slugs has been on a tear lately, with a successful first release highlighting Mosca (along with a string of fantastic remixes) and an upcoming release from Canadian smash-master Egyptrixx that will shake your brain into bass oblivion. However, this is only the beginning for the bubbling hot label, as co-owner Alex Sushon (better known by his production/DJ alias Bok Bok) is ready to unleash upcoming Slugs dubs on this exclusive mix for URB. Along with vocal reminders from MC Jammer, Bok Bok guides us through a maddening and rhythmically fruitful journey between cracking synth lines and hypnotic drum patterns in a mix that’s sure to break your speakers. Thank him when it’s over. Bok Bok will also be embarking on a North American tour and coming to a town near you. Dates, tracklist …
Mosca
Square One EP
Night Slugs co-chairman and blog-runner Bok Bok has released a fantastic mix as a preview of what’s to come in 2010. What’s in this mix is nothing short of brilliant, with tracks from a bevy of labels that we love (Blunted Robots, Hyperdub, Numbers, Fool’s Gold) and artists that bring the biggest and baddest sounds out there. (Untold, Terror Danjah, 2562) This is truly a treat for the bass-loving faithful and you should cop it IMMEDIATELY. Tracklist and download link after the jump.
Brand new bass-fueled UK imprint Night Slugs (run by Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990) is celebrating their first release by giving away a track off Mosca’s Square One EP, which is a tasty remix of the title track by funky-fresh producer Greena. This is a bass burner at it’s best; with funky rhythms, house stabs and shuffle to boot. Check the download and tracklist after the jump.

Anyone who comes to URB should know, we cover an extensive amount of music from every genre and subgenre. Things aren’t always easily to compile in lists, especially putting together “top ten” lists. Now try doing that with the generalization of a genre called “electronic music.” Some people still don’t know what the difference between techno and house is, and of course we’re here to provide the difference. But, we’re also here to show our appreciation to the tracks that have made us move, groove, bop, boom, and, most importantly, enjoy every second from the first beat to the last. It wasn’t easy, but it sure as hell was a journey. Welcome to my top ten electronic tracks of the year. Take a seat and crank the speakers to eleven: it’s a doozy of a read.
