We're celebrating the legendary imprint Night Slugs' 15th anniversary this month on our mix series! Founded by Alex Sushon (Bok Bok) and James Connolly (L-Vis 1990), Night Slugs was initially launched as a club night series after Alex and James met on Myspace in 2008, expanding into a record label in 2010. From then, Night Slugs quickly became one of the distinctive dance music labels of the 2010s as they pushed a hybrid of grime, house, electro, R&B, hip hop and dubstep. With a lasting influence across the globe to this day, the label released career defining releases from the likes of Jam City, Girl Unit, Mosca, Jacques Greene, Lil Silva and more. To celebrate their 15th anniversary, Night Slugs have pulled together the 'Classic Remixed' compilation which fuses the label's past, present and future with artists taking on remixes of the label's classics. These remixers include Night Slugs family Ikonika, Helix, CalvoMusic & OSSX, as well as many of the labels peers and next-gen favourites including Grandmixxer, Bored Lord, MoMa Ready, Hagan, Karen Nyame KG, River Moon, DJ Polo & NKC, DJ Lag, scotti dee and more.

Next up in the takeover we have the legend, Bok Bok, who brings us “an hour of non-stop momentum with funky/deep house, gqom and rolling London sounds in the mix & blend”. Aside from being one of the co-founders Night Slugs party and record label, Bok Bok is an esteemed producer and engineer in their own right who has released a slew of knockout solo releases, contributed to compilations for Manara and PDA, mastered records for the likes of FAUZIA and launched their own label AP Life in 2021 as a nod to the DJ and dubplate culture they grew up on. They're also a longstanding resident on Rinse FM.

Following up on last year’s collaborative EP 'Spheres', Chicago-based artist; Lapgan is back with 21-track Beat-Tape ‘Duniya Kya Hai’ for the 4th release of electrocaïne’s X-Series, exploring hip-hop and beats while staying true to the label’s colour.

Duniya Kya Hai is a collection of beats composed almost exclusively with sounds from India and Pakistan. The title loosely translates to "What is this World?" in both Hindi & Urdu. This shared phrase resonates with the artist by questioning his sense of wonder and awe at the beauty of the world, and at other times the exasperation and callousness, endemic to human relations.

The project was conceived after the beat-maker was exposed to familiar sounds and music originating from the Lahore film industry to which he formed an instant connection with. Expressing his unfamiliarity with ‘Lollywood’ he began digging deeper, into both Pakistani and Indian films from the 60’s and 70’s. These soundtracks were crafted in the wake of British colonial control of the region. During this period, both India and Pakistan were struggling to manifest their political footing in the Cold War geopolitical order, resulting in constant military and cultural conflict. On both sides of the border, governments would actively be banning each other's films. Nevertheless, the sonic and thematic similarities could not be more clear.

Whilst experimenting with new found sounds, the tyranny of India’s current nationalist regime went to new levels revoking Kashmir’s constitutional claims to autonomy. Lapgan began to imagine a world where these lands and their people could peacefully coexist, and in the process bringing this project to fruition — an attempt to showcase the beauty of our shared cultures and the pursuit of harmony that can still be realised.

Duniya Kya Hai wishes to document the shared history and bridge the gap generated by the callous, adversarial and portioned politics of the region. Asking the question ‘Duniya Kya Hai’ — what is this world, who makes it, what is a border? — In hope the listener will perceive and embrace the unity of the human experience that lies beneath national and cultural conflicts.

Lapgan: Lapgan is a Chicago-based beatmaker producer inspired by existentialism and universality. His music spans influences from hip-hop to classic Bollywood. He self-released his first beat tape Badmaash in 2019 which ties together his Indian roots and his ever expanding interest in hip hop and beats. His second release Spheres with megiapa explores a brief meditation on the current state of the Earth.
