Celebrate 10 years of Night Slugs with a vintage Cooly G track
Listen to the previously unreleased “Digitally Higher” now.
Night Slugs, the London club night started by Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990, turns 10 this year. To celebrate the team behind one of U.K. club culture's most forward-thinking parties and labels, are releasing a career-spanning compilation featuring tracks from O.G.s like Helix as well as brand new music from Kelela and Sweyn J.
Cooly G is a Night Slugs staple and, fittingly, it is her "Digitally Higher" which closes Allstars X. The bass heavy, glitchy, track is filled with sighed vocals that sit on top of a moody and propulsive beat, It is testament to Night Slugs's future-forwards ethos that it still sounds fresh despite being made seven years ago.
Speaking to The FADER via email, Cooly G said of the track: "I think this tune was made in 2010/11. I remember getting a vibe from promoting a monthly rave at the [London club] Brixton Mass, the crowds and the vibes got me in the mood to create this track. I totally forgot about this version. When they asked [to include it] I was like 'Yeah, sure, no problem.' It's a solid track and will sound perfect on the dance floor."
In addition to the Allstars X compilation, Night Slugs is also hosting a series of international shows and one-off events to celebrate a decade on the game. Details of all events are available here.
