Bok Bok is Alex Sushon - DJ, producer, & director of London labels Night Slugs and AP Life. Relocating from Ukraine to South London in 1992 Bok discovered music via the jungle & garage that saturated their new environment, as much as the pop, metal, rap & dance videos on MTV & The Box. It wasn’t until they left school that London’s pirate radio stations started to pump out Grime music, and Bok was hooked. White label vinyls & DJ practice became a way of life, and soon Bok began DJing on pioneering internet radio station UTZ and at impromptu parties on the South London illegal rave scene. A hunger for raw club music soon drew Bok beyond Grime to other, highly compatible genres - House, Techno & US Club. They soon honed a blend of international styles, with a London-centric soundsystem mentality at its core. Soon a new sound began to emerge via remixes and original beats by Bok Bok as well as other likeminded friends like Girl Unit, Jam City & Ikonika. Bok Bok and James Connolly (aka Dance System) started Night Slugs in 2008 as a hub for this new wave of club music. By then Bok had moved to London’s leading pirate station Rinse FM. In 2010 Night Slugs became a record label, with Bok as de facto exec producer. In 2023 Night Slugs celebrates 15 years of steady progress with a packed, future-facing programme of releases and tours. In 2021 Bok launched a new record label - AP Life - alongside Croydon artist Nammy Wams and Barcelona-based art-director Jose Hernández. Where Night Slugs is about escapism and club euphoria, AP Life is focussed much more on the reality & conditions of London and beyond. As always-- Support from MIÑIN & Venganza!
