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.

As it stands right now, on the eve of 2010, bass music is a beautiful mess. Stretched and tortured by numerous influences and the possible avenues for producers to take, its become splintered but, in the same way the T1000 glooped back together in Terminator 2, it constantly manages to gel to its roots, evolving away from its half step/atmospherics in what seem more like ellipses than cycles. And whilst London remains somewhat of an epicentre for many of dubstep’s microcosms, other bubbles of ingenuity have sprung up around the globe with keen producers and promoters ready to move with the ethos of dubstep and put their own distinctive slant on the sound.
