MORRI$ - "Ladyboy" [Exclusive]

Wow, where to begin. There are few songs that can give me physical shivers and goosebumps anymore but MORRI$ has, by far, affected me in that way on "Ladyboy". That says something about a producer in this day and age. Emotion has been stripped from so many avenues of music from the obligation of artists to be catchy or poppy or to appeal to the masses. There is a very human chord that should resonate in you while listening to this tune. Having grown up in a place like Kansas (no offense), a producer with the type of...

Jam City - How We Relate To The Body

After his debut LP Classical Curves was released via the consistently avant garde Night Slugs, Jam City is back with another teaser. Those familiar with the label will recall the Night Slugs white label release The Courts / The Nite Life, a 12" single that served as a sort of sampler to the spectrum of music that was to be released on Classical Curves. Needless to say, when the album did launch we were met with an even wider spectrum of sounds than anyone had expected from the white label sampler. The album was tied...

Helix - "Drum Track"

I first heard "Drum Track" on Rinse FM. It was a Night Slugs session circa Fall 2011. I admittedly didn't think much of it the first time I heard it, but it was the kind of track the was stuck in my head, with the same loop ringing in my ears until I found myself back on the internet trying to find...

L-VIS 1990 - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

I have a crush on a label and its name is Night Slugs. Incidentally, I also have several crushes on DJs involved with this label -- one particularly worthy of mention being co-founder James Connolly, alias L-VIS 1990, whose debut album Neon Dreams rocked it in 2011. It took a few days for me to...

Gang Gang Dance - "Chinese High" (Nguzunguzu Remix)

There's nothing quite like a melding of two alliterative/repetitive group names on a Saturday morning. The foundation of "Chinese High" was built by New York City's Gang Gang Dance (from their Eye Contact LP on 4AD) with renovations by Fade to Mind's tribal garage ravers Nguzunguzu. It's a...

Kingdom - Let You No

With a new EP, Dreama, coming out next Monday, Night Slugs hot shot Kingdom (from Brooklyn, who's also released music on Fool's Gold) has released a new track on his Soundcloud to give us a taste of what's to come. With R&B and hip-hop influences swirling through a dark electronic void...

Egyptrixx - Old Black [12"]

It's Indian Summer in Boston. The air is that perfect medium blend of crisp but warm and long shadows are being cast over everything by the late afternoon sun. It couldn't be more quaint, so naturally, I am most drawn to music that drags me to the dark depths of hell. Egyptrixx is bipolar bass...
