If you missed the anthems and refixes by Girl Unit, Egyptrixx, Mosca, and Bok Bok that have dropped on Night Slugs, you must have been sleeping. The label sprang from the eponymous clubnight started by Alex Sushon, aka Bok Bok, and James Connolly, AKA L-Vis 1990, after they connected on MySpace.
DJ and label head Bok Bok discussed his foundation in London clubs like Plastic People and pirate radio, his passion for the dancefloor and un-human music and the music of Night Slugs in his RBMA NYC 2013 Lecture.

__________________________
Bok Bok already had a solid grounding in soundsystem culture, and then, as the grime scene evolved, he moved toward raw, upbeat grooves from further afield: Baltimore breaks, Detroit ghetto-tech, the footwork/ghetto-house hybrids in Chi-town, and South African arch riddim constructions. With Night Slugs an integral part of London’s underground club scene, Bok Bok, as its head honcho, has carved out a distinct space for himself and his posse on the futuristic side of bass-heavy, hip-hop-leaning dancefloor-obliterators.
