Artist Profile
Night Slugs
Label: Night Slugs
Agent: Belinda Law
The Night Slugs name first came into existence in early 2008 when, inspired by a variety of experimental club music from around the globe, the duo linked up to start a club night dedicated to a brand new hybrid sound.
This new aesthetic fused international gutter house styles with London's unique soundsystem heritage. The emphasis was on innovation, breaking new producers, debuting fresh tracks, uncompromising bass weight, and above all a functionalist dancefloor-friendly vibe.
The Night Slugs party quickly gained a reputation for being amongst the freshest in London.
Two years down the line, Night Slugs is an unstoppable brand. Their club parties are a London staple, a cornerstone of the UK's bass mutation scene. Bok Bok and L-Vis' record label of the same name is several releases into a series of groundbreaking EPs, showcasing fresh new sounds from the collective that has crystalised around the duo.
The Slugs' own productions - international club anthems like "United Groove", "Ripe Banana", "Compass" and "Citizens" - have appears on a variety of boutique labels such as Mad Decent, Dress 2 Sweat and Sound Pellegrino.
2010 sees the duo join London's leading underground music station Rinse FM. With an unparalleled pirate radio vintage of 15 years, Rinse is a bastion of the UK scene's unique tendency towards self-reinvention, an ethos that deeply resonates with Night Slugs' own drive for innovation.
Catch them on Rinse every other monday, 1-3pm GMT showcasing the freshest riddims about.
