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: Last year, Night Slugs' longest-serving artist, Philip Gamble AKA Girl Unit, returned to action with a debut album nine years in the making. "Song Feel" was rightly proclaimed for its colourful collection of synth-heavy future R&B and space-pop gems, which made great use of top-notch guest vocalists and some distinctly off-kilter rhythm tracks. The genius of Gamble's backing tracks is the focus of this follow-up release, which - as the title makes clear - gathers together instrumental versions of the album's vocal moments. Amongst the highlights are two contrasting versions of "WYWD" (a languid, loved-up downtempo take and a gently upbeat, tropical and humid "Instrumental House Mix" that's worth the entrance fee on its own), the bass-heavy, grime-influenced filth of "Pull Up" and the grinning, piano-heavy rush that is "24 Hours".

Review: London's Night Slugs are back with their class of 2016 and if this is anything to go by, it's going to be quite the graduation party. Be prepared for some bass driven, street level, low end theories as per usual. There's Bok x Sweyn J featuring Semma on the sexy future R&B of "Good 2 U", Helix with some superb hyper-riddims on the explosive and syncopated "Funky 1irst", while label mainstays appear too, rest assured. There's Jam City with the brooding and powerful rhythm workout of "Direct Drums" and of course L-Vis 1990 with the sultry vocals of Ronika on the late night noir thriller "Sweet Spot".

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: After breaking through with some powerful EPs on Night Slugs, Girl Unit is back to continue what he started. Interestingly, the grimey element in his earlier output has been replaced by a screamingly loud electro influence, positioned in the kind of snappy funk favoured by EDMX and his Breakin Records posse. From "Ensemble (Club Mix)" to "Plaza", the sharp edges of the synth work chafe against crisp drum machine workouts, leaving six cold crush bangers in their wake. It's something of a departure for Girl Unit, but he's absolutely nailed the target sound with tracks that will absolutely tear up the dance.

Review: Commonly regarded as the centrepiece of Night Slugs first year as a label, Girl Unit's incendiary ode to dirty south hip-hop is pretty much the epitome of a track that needs no extra embellishment. However we guess you can relent when Dirtybird deity Claude Von Stroke reveals an interest in tackling it. Thus Night Slugs present two of three Von Stroke remixes of the track - expect the third "Fully Dressed" version to appear on a forthcoming remix compilation. Strains of both the "Undressed" and "Butt Naked" remixes were heard several times over the Sonar weekend, and the titles lend some clues as to the stripped down nature of the results. The former slowly reveals an 8bit soaked variant on that distinct synth refrain over skeletal drums which explodes into brilliant colour at just the right moment. The Butt Naked remix is a far darker affair but no less potent.

Review: Despite having a moniker which sounds like an all-female pop outfit from the 90s, you'll be glad to hear that Girl Unit, is, in fact, nothing of the sort. A house aficionado of the highest calibre, the South London based producer blends elements of UK funky, 2-step, house, garage, Chicago juke and shades of dubstep with an iconoclastic irreverence for genre boundaries. Appearing on Bok-Bok and L-Vis 1990's label, Night Slugs, the I.R.L EP marks the third release for the burgeoning young imprint, which was established earlier this year. The EP - incidentally one of the most hotly tipped records around at the moment - begins with the title track. A dramatic, cinematic intro (rather reminiscent of D&B producer Rockwell's "Noir") initiates the proceedings with a thumping statement of intent and screechy, sliding synth embellishments. A hollow, clip-clop beat underpins the track, moving from dark, moody moments to more mellow, Mount Kimbie-style sections with masterful ease. DVA takes things down a tougher, rougher street with the tapping, grinding synthetics and raw industrial edge of his 'Hi Emotions' remix, whereas Young Gunz crew member, French Fries tunes in to a funky vibe, with shuffling rhythms, a nod to soca and lashings of sun-drenched tropical exoticism.
