Nightslugs' GIRL UNIT are the driving force of the UK zeitgeist. END OF.

Nightslugs are a newly formed label from Bok Bok AKA Alex Sushon (co-director of SMD's Synthesise music video) and L-Vis 1990 AKA James Connoly. Their repertoire is creating a new phase in music and art culture, with Connoly and Sushon constantly churning out amazing undiscovered DJs, VJs and Bloggers - right now, I'd say their the most switched on practitioners out there - they're plugged into the UK zeitgeist like no one I've encountered before and seem to be propelling the spirit of the times so ruthlessly that within the space of a few months they've impacted the audial and visual aesthetics of most underground artists out there.

As mentioned before about the formula of trends reviving things from a 15 year window - Nightslugs are the epitome of that procedure and it's really interesting (for geeky me) to see that formula in play - an example would be GIRL UNIT and their newly released 2010 mix.

The samples, synths and drums are a huge nostalgia trip - reminding me of the most trivial days of my 90's childhood, but there's a modern twist, it's all ironic - this is a new aesthetic we're coming into and much like a fashion catwalk, it's showing off all it's key features at once, ready to be diluted throughout future productions, until this "new sound" get's labelled and sells-out. Love it while it's still underground!

Mmmmmm like Goldeney 64 on acid.
