Introducing… SLUGZ
This guy caught my eye (and ears) when he posted a link to one of his tracks on Facebook. I checked out his Soundcloud and decided that he was too good to not be featured!
Name, age, location?
‘I started DJing in clubs in 2009, I was playing abroad and around the UK, but I realised production was the key to getting more sets. I wanted to be able to make the tracks I love and put more good music into the scene.’
Which producers influence you?
‘The producers that have influenced me are; Joe London (who I’ve produced a few releases with), Chasing Shadows, Bar 9 and Noisia.’
What inspires you to create music?
‘It’s an amazing feeling to drop a track that you’ve produced at a big club like Matter, Ministry of Sound, The Den (The End), and see everyone go off to it! That is probably the biggest inspiration for me. It’s good at smaller venues too but obviously the bigger the better!’
Which of your tracks is your personal favourite (and why)?
‘My favourite track is between two, I’m not sure. One is called ‘The Journey’, the other ‘Pow Ft. Badness & Dizzle’. Check them out on the Soundcloud and You be the judge. Don’t forget to leave a comment, I want to know what people are thinking.’
What have you been working on recently? Anything due for release soon?
‘Recently I’ve been working on a track called ‘Gun Talk’ it’s gonna be my favourite once it’s finished in answer to the last question too. It is a jump up Dubstep track that turns into Drum & Bass, Jungle, Drumstep, then back to Dubstep. Very Hype.
In terms of releases I’m holding off until the launch of Dub Pack Records. Dub Pack Records is launching very soon so keep your eyes peeled, I’m sure you’ve all heard of the club nights, promotions company. The label’s gonna be big so I’m gonna release my stuff through that.
I do however release Podcasts which you can find on Mixcloud. The majority will be 3 Deck Dubstep Podcasts. I’m getting in special guests each time to add a different vibe.’
Any shout outs?
‘Shout outs to Boyson, Joe London, Muse & Finally my Mum, lol.’ :D
Anything else you want to add?
‘Everyone look forward to the launch of Dub Pack Records! The monthly night launched on the 29th April @ 93 Feet East as well, big up to everyone who came down. Keep showing your faces and lets keep having good parties!’
Remember to check out Slugz on Soundcloud, Twitter and Facebook. Also check out Mixcloud for the Podcasts!
Right, I’ve got Slugz’ 2 favourite tracks for you and 1 that I’ve picked out myself. Kick back and enjoy the bass!
First up, ‘POW’ Featuring Badness and Dizzle
Slugz and Joe London – ‘The Journey’
This next one has to be my personal favourite – Hadouken – ‘Oxygen (Slugz and Joe London Remix)’
Hang tight for interviews with Arkasia and Figure!
Peace.
