Watch Bok Bok's Red Bull Music Academy Lecture

The Night Slugs head explains his label's direction, the importance of pirate radio, smoke and the club as a context.

In RBMA’s latest run of lectures in New York, south London DJ Bok Bok sat down to talk about his approach to dance music. Night Slugs, the label he co-runs with L-Vis 1990, have been putting out music and putting on parties since about the turn of the decade with a distinctive style held together by a shared aesthetic and sonic qualities but too sharp to adequately pin down or reduce.

Bok Bok may not be able to explain it fully but he does say a lot of interesting things about the central importance of the nightclub, early influences like FWD>> and DJ Slimzee and how he linked up with collaborators like Girl Unit, Egyptrixx (whose taken charge of the latest in our exclusive mix series), Jam City and Helix.
