This year is going to be a good year if we travel the path we’re on now. A new talent from Bristol is coming from the Glasgow label Stuff records (from the Rustie releases Jagz The Smack and Cafe De Phresh). Slugabed (http://www.myspace.com/slugabedmusic), a 19 year old producer! We’re going to hear a lot more of this guy this year! He starts with a limited white label teaser featuring his inspirators: Rick James and Ol Dirty Bastard. Slugabed’s tracks moves like his equevalents Rustie, Joker, HudMo between styles, wonky, hip hop, abstract beats and so on. Stuff records make more big steps in the game with the hotly tipped 19 year old Slugabed crashing in with two groove juxtapositions for the dance. One side tackles the Rick James classic 'Super Freak' with odd results, plonking the vocals over a neon freak beat winding in somewhere between Jamie Vex'd style hypeR'n'B and Rustie-knacked hiphop, while the flipside zooms Ol' Dirty Bastard into a year 2030 style beatwork sounding like Flying Lotus drinking neat vodka with the Skweee crew. His tracks have already found their ways into the boxes of Various Production, Mark Pritchard, Benji B and Mary-Anne Hobbes and we expect to hear a lot more from this fella.
