Now that 2009 is officially over and done, we can get excited about all the new music producers stepping up to the plate to make 2010 start off with a bang. Much like Bok Bok and L-vis 1990 in 2009, you couldn’t escape hearing the buzz about these two. Aside from producing and DJing, the two also started a pretty rowdy party called Night Slugs, which has now evolved into a label.

The first release on the Nightslugs record label is from Mosca. If you’re a geek like Beats or I, than you’ve probably heard Mosca through Kingdom, Bok Bok, or Dubbel Dutch on one of their ustream sets. If you’re unfamiliar with Mosca, then this EP will be a great introduction, as he’s everything you’d hope for in a producer. Blending quirky deep techno sounds with world house vibes and tons of bass. This is “grown ‘n sexy” club music far removed from the annoying screechy sounds of blog house, but with the same inventive energy. Not only are the original tracks fantastic but the Nightslugs sprung for some heavy duty remixers like Roska, Greena and Julio Bashmore.

The EP will be released to every digital music retailer (iTunes, Juno, Beatport, Boomkat, etc.) as well as have a very limited number of vinyl copies pressed. Keep an eye out for Night Slugs releases through-out the year because they plan on releasing EPs for Kingdom, Greena, Jam City, Girl Unit and Egyptrixx.

Lately I’ve been tuning into Dubbel Dutch + Prince William + Kingdom over at their ustream channels here and here. From said channels I’ve gotten many a new track, some of which you can find on the Grindin’ November Chart others are ID’d on the spot via the chat. One of the “on the spot” ID’d tracks, which has been on repeat for a good chunk of my day, is “Coconut” by French Fries, an “afrobeat” producer out of France. The track carries the same kind of vibe as the infectious “Pon De Floor” by Major Lazer and kind of goes along with that whole Dancehall thing that caught some traction this Summer.

Well, about 6 years (exaggeration) after her original release date, it looks like Kid Sister is finally going to be releasing her long awaited Ultraviolet album on November 17th! With guest appearances from Kanye West, Estelle, Cee-Lo and Gant-Man I think this release is going to be the heat of the winter. To hold you over until the 17th, beer yourself a listen to Kingdom’s remix of “Right Hand Hi” (still got original on repeat, but it’s all good).

Tracklist:
1. Right Hand Hi
2. Life on TV
3. Big n Bad
4. Step (feat. Estelle)
5. Let Me Bang 2009
6. Pro Nails (feat. Kanye West)
