URB Presents Bok Bok: Night Sluggin’ Mix Exclusive & Upcoming Tour Dates (MP3)

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 (Review)

Mosca

Square One EP

Released by Night Slugs


Everyday in electronic music, something new pops up that challenges listeners to find new ways to dance their asses off. From almost abusive sub-bass half-step rhythms to percussive funky beats, the sounds emerging from the U.K. have been dominating parties worldwide with a huge variety of artists and tunes. This emergence birthed new record labels, and from small beginnings as a successful party in their homeland, producers Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 put their heads together and created the fresh, new imprint of Night Slugs. Carefully choosing the talent they will put out, they begin their record label venture by churning out a release that has been surrounded by hype and a bevy of remixes that are destined for rhythmic euphoria. Starting off with producer-du-jour Mosca, Night Slugs has begun a surely successful ascent into the pantheon of amazing independent labels.

Bok Bok – January 2010 Mixtape (MP3)

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.

Best Of ‘09: Top 10 Electronic Tracks (URB Contributor Mitch Strashnov) (Video)

An introspective and mind-numbing selection of the best electronic tracks of 2009. 

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.
