Review: After 13 years, Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990's Night Slugs label has amassed a vast catalogue of classic cuts. It's ripe for remixing, and they've duly delivered - with a little help from a whole heap of talented artists - on a 23-track set that may turn out to be one of the compilations of 2023. In keeping with the label's forward-thinking, hard-to-pigeonhole approach, there are all sorts of fine fusions and genre-bending revisions on show, as well as plenty of bona fide peak-time killers. Highlights include DJ Polo and NKC's bouncy, bass-heavy and stab-happy revision of 'Melba's Call' by Bok Bok, Scratcha DVA's punishing, speaker-bothering rework of Girl Unit's 'IRL', a redlined, percussion-heavy OSSX tweak of L-Vis 1990's 'Video Drone' and a thrillingly hectic, sweat-soaked, rave-igniting Bored Lord version of Helix's 'Drum Track'.

Review: Night Slugs staple Bok Bok returns this week with new effort "Ouais". The South London-based producer and DJ serves up a typically blustering and bass-driven workout with urban vibes, and the remixes that come with the package are equally worthy of your attention. Hysterics' rework injects a brooding atmosphere into the backdrop for a more subterranean vibe, while Zaida Zane's playful rendition is underpinned by a thumping four-to-the floor beat, and finally Helix's experimental take ventures into advanced downbeat territory.

Review: With an ever-strong commitment to their very unique brand of modern electronic dance music, the Night Slugs posse are rounded up once again for a stocktake on the follow up to the successful Night Slugs Allstars compilation. It's only with a chance to reflect such as this you can appreciate the range that falls neatly into the Night Slugs remit. At one turn you can be doused in the blinding sunshine of Girl Unit's cheery electro as on "Ensemble (Club Mix)", or at the next be confronted with the staggered stab frenzy of Helix's somewhat ironically named "Drum Track". Try reaching them without being thrown by Bok Bok's 31st century grime madness or Lil Silva's hyper-kinetic throwdown of mechanical psychedelia and you might have a chance of getting a handle on the label as a whole.

Review: Bok Bok has played a significant role in reinvigorating the contemporary bass music scene with the unique brand of neon-tinged grime/dubstep/house purveyed on the Night Slugs imprint he runs with L-Vis 1990. It's strange then to think that he hasn't graced the NS label with any original material of his own until now, but the Southside EP delivers on the hype and expectation that preceded the release. Kicking off with "Charisma Theme", it's all swirling, hazy atmospherics and taught chiming for the first part. Immediately demanding attention, the hollow thumping kicks of the intro swiftly build into a clipped, rolling riddim with clapping beats and quirky, fidgeting melody and undulating b-line below. "Hyperpass", up next, is a much deeper, darker beast, with ominous dread vocal, a dubbed out soundscape, the sound of rainfall and urgent, insistent beats pumping out menacingly. Moving on, "Reminder" is all hissing hats and searing snares, coupled with lassoing synths and a simple, repetitive bleepy melody. Then, there's "Silo Pass" with its scythe sharpening intro, and distant voices, weighty subs and rattling SFX, before grime-infused half step smasher "Look" concludes the EP, with poised and understated prowess.
