There’s heavyweight remixers, and then there’s HEAVYWEIGHT remixers. No reference to the newly svelt Rick Rubin’s physical size, in a week that has already seen Damon Albarn save Lana Del Rey from the internet doghouse, the super-producer has “ruined” Justice’s bombastic “On’n'On” by removing much of the arena bombast of the original and turning it into a slowburn discofied cut begging to be dropped by DJs from DFA to Dixon.

The current wave of electronic artists range from the wickedly fresh to the bizarre; with genres that occupy the umbrella of worldwide sounds coming together on a dance it can be difficult to find a stand-alone identity in the midst of it all. Then there’s Egyptrixx, a Toronto-based producer that has made massive steps in securing a dark, foreboding sound in supposedly house tempos. While he’s been on a fantastic remix tip (ranging from Subeena, The Aikiu, Brodinski) it’s his original productions that spark up something…different on a floor (i.e. “Liberation Front). The sound embodied is dark, moody and powerful, striking chords with people who want something more out of their night on the floor. With a rampant international fanbase, Egyptrixx plays out constantly live and each performance changes from the next, with something to look forward to every time out. Finally, in 2011, his album Bible Eyes will be released on the almighty Night Slugs label. Luckily for URB, Egyptrixx not only took the time to answer a few questions, but also premiere a scintillating music video highlighting a piece from his upcoming album. Check out “Start From The Beginning” and the interview after the jump.

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 …
