A Night Slugs Sweat

I've totally gotten into mix tapes again. I'm finding lots of good ones again and i'm finding a lot more with some purpose and energy. I'm totally into one's that are either genre-specific, or you know, sound-specific, so i go for them a lot. I still cant stand those sorta "april mix" style things usually, you know, whatever hot tunes are in the blog charts for the month, unless they're from some1 i already know and respect, usually. I'm obviously looking for a range of tracks/artists i don't know in a mix, but just enuf that i do know to draw me in. I'm also into just good mixes and mashes in a mix - but that's kinda hard for me to know, so doesn't usually dictate weather i will bother downloading and listening to a mix.

This mix from the Night Slugs fits in with just about everything i've mentioned above. It's on a grimey throwback/bringback, uk funky sorta vibe. It has a bunch of energy, and the mixes keep you pinned throughout. It's also mixed by and features a whole bunch of dubplates, most of which i've never heard, by two modern day genius's, Bok Bok & L-Vis 1990. Seriously these guys are running something, and i really fucken hope that we manage to get them over here to play at a Scatterblog party soon.
This mix is a promo for their upcoming EP on Dress 2 Sweat (pic above is the cover), out i think around September 22nd. EP is fire, you should all get it next week when it's out.
P.S. there's also word of their own Night Slugs label about to start up sometime in the future.
