BlahBlahBlah 4th Birthday @ Digital

We didn't run this in the mag last month due to a lack of photos, instead we wrote a retrospective on the BlahBlahBlah gang which you can check right here. Below is my original review of the BBB's 4th Birthday with London label Night Slugs.


BlahBlahBlah is 4, which in promoter years is a century, so while a letter from her Majesty is imminent, they're celebrating this evening with a Night Slugs takeover.

From their humble beginnings as a London club night, to their first release just over a year ago this label's already carved a reputation for itself as one of the go-to names for upfront club music.

It would appear that Brighton's clubbing elite aren't as forward thinking as they'd like to opine but despite the lackluster turn out the nocturnal mollusks give the loyal fans 110% and the extra space on the dancefloor allows us to move with even more vigor. The heavenly twinkling of Girl Unit's 'Wut' turns Digital into a melodic cornucopia of appreciative whoops and whistles. Then Jam City's 'Magic Drops VIP' hits us with its mechanized production-line beat and slide-whistle synth to result in a woozy paradise of blissful disorientation.

For their 4th birthday the BlahBlahBlah boys were surrounded by close family and friends with some of London's bass music pioneers providing the soundtrack.
