I know it’s difficult. I know that it’s a really, really big ask. However, you’re going to have to trust me on this, dear reader. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, let the pun in James Connolly’s DJ name put you off. The Night Slugs co-founder is so much better than his stage name suggests, in his work as a label boss, producer and especially his work as a DJ. He’s a polymath, through and through, creating an honest to goodness underground sensation with his labels co-founder Bok-Bok and, if he didn’t pioneer the genre of progressive club music, he’s almost certainly streets ahead of the pack. Perhaps that possibly means he could have picked a better name but I’m not sure it matters as much as I think it does. Anyway, the man’s still a dab hand with the decks. Creating elaborate soundscapes that can still utterly level any dance floor he’s put in the vicinity of, with a far deeper understanding of the peaks and troughs of a well-constructed set list, leading to better builds and drops than most brostep morons could even consider. What he’s had a leading hand in creating has gone worldwide as well, from his hometown of Brighton all the way to celebrated sets in Japan, America and mainland Europe. The name might be silly, but what he does is truly ground breaking, and any self-respecting club fan should see it as soon as possible. You’ll remember it forever!
