Wild City #107 - Slugabed

Ninja Tune beatnik and Activia Benz founder Slugabed offers up a selection of filtered, twisted bass and metallic melody for Wild City Mix #107. If you’re not already clued in on London based producer and DJ Slugabed, he can best be described as contemporary bass music’s leading meme informed (self confessed), polychromatic and gifted oddity. Nothing about him is completely straightforward or black and white. Ever since he emerged on the scene as a teenager in Brighton the late 00s, where he played an instrumental role in the success of local club night Donky Pitch, the international music community has been keeping a close eye on Greg ‘Slugabed’ Feldwick. 2012 saw the release of Slugabed (a word defined on urban dictionary as “a lazy person; one who dislikes work”) acclaimed debut album ‘Time Team’, via famed UK label Ninja Tune, soon after which he decided to begin his own bizarre and diverse Activia Benz label. The producers distinct sound is an irreverent kaleidoscope of compressed hip-hop beats combined with warped basslines and glossy, metallic melody. The energy packed, seamless mix begins with heady dose of big bass and grime with music by the likes of Flow Dan, Wiley, Zomby and Darq E Freaker interspersed with his own animated productions. The selections get weirder and more energetic as the mix goes on with tunes from some truly forward thinking tunes from Sega Bodega (off the Activia Benz camp), new BRAINFEEDER acquisition Ighlooghost, Cashmere Cat and more.
