Bok Bok & Girl Unit | Live @ Heaven Nightclub
Last week, at Heaven Nightclub in London, Night Slugs cohorts Bok Bok & Girl Unit performed what seems to be an increasingly rare feat – a truly live set – without once setting fingers on a computer, tables, or CDJ’s. Forgoing what have truly become the norm in the arena of live electronic music, these brash englishmen instead created every sound live – relying on an arsenal of analogue equipment; an MPC, TR909, Sequential Circuits Drumtraks, Juno 106, Polysix and FX.
It’s a joy to hear these beatsmiths work with and against their equipment – their talents paradoxically limited and enhanced by the constraints of their chosen media. These struggles ensure that the tracks played out aren’t merely facsimile copies of their computer generated brethren – they become as the artists put it “bespoke versions” – tailor made to their equipment’s exacting demands.
