Slugrave Mixtape #017

KT Tunstall – Black Horse & The Cherry Tree (Slugrave Re-Fix)

A bit of a coup here, right?

We've always had a sneaky love for the baggy, boozy groove of Black Horse And Cherry Tree so when the Slug crew's Mr Lexicon (https://twitter.com/MrLexicon) got his naughty goblin hands on it and turned it into eight minutes of drugged-up, dubbed-out 3am slug chug we were very happy indeed.

And now you can share our joy.

Many thanks must also go to Red Ken, himself a serious edit-master, for his help and inspiration on this (Redken/ - https://www.facebook.com/redkenmusik)

Slugrave Mixtape #012

Summer, or what we had of it, is ending. Dimensions Festival is just around the corner and the Slugs are returning to the mixtape series… First up Joe Muggs takes the lead and drops this Slugrave Mixtape as well as a interview for Generation Bass

The ethos of Slugrave is about stopping, sitting back, letting go of the earnest need to be on top of things, and just getting your groove on. It’s about taking it easy. It’s also generally about not letting the tempo go over 115bpm, but that’s arbitrary really – far more importantly it’s about stopping yourself hurtling forward at the expense of all else. It’s about lazily leafing through your vinyl shelves / CD booklets / file folders and digging out things that you slept on, about casually thinking “ahhh I’d forgotten that one” or “oh this will go with that”. No grand concept, no over-arching aesthetic – you’ll hear echoes of the Balearic ethos, of cosmic disco, of the deeper side of Moombahton, of indie-dance, of all flavours of bass music, of 90s electronica, of neo-soul and nu-jazz – just vibes.

Check out the full interview over on Generation Bass

Ben & Lex ft Jay Tuns 'We Are Back (Turn It Up!)' OUT NOW

Ladies and Gentlemen, Ben and Lex are most definitely back!

After over a year in the wilderness working on other projects - including, in the case of Mr Lexicon, producing & scoring original music for film trailers: MEN IN BLACK 3 and LUC BESSON'S LOCKOUT - Ben and Lex returned to the studio to start work on their DEBUT ALBUM after nearly a decade in the game!

WE ARE BACK (TURN IT UP!) is the 1st outing from that mission featuring the mighty JAY TUNS on vocal duties. A ridiculously large slice of party breaks action for fans of the more jacking booty shaking side of things with badboy bass and an awesomely infectious lead line!

Tried and tested for a year from GLADE to GLASTONBURY to Germany and has never let them down! 

Flip, for an exclusive non LP track theyve revisited their fave single from many moons ago, SOUNDGAL and given it a 2012 140 bpm jungley relick!

So Turn It Up and get on down!
