The hi-definition crystalline world of his previous album “Bible Eyes” has sunken, submerged. “Water” takes place in some vast molten expanse, a subterranean electrical storm expressed as acid-tech.

This 12″ features the reduced dub, stripped of melody to for full hypnotic effect. The full version can be heard on the forthcoming album, titled “A/B til Infinity”.

On the flip: Helix keeps bootlegging our records. He cuts up the masters and edits them up like Fruity Loops lego, applying the same post-Timbaland stutter-logic that was amplified so dramatically in 03-06 grime.

Here he puts his hand to Egyptrixx’ blastbeats-heavy “Adult”, also taken from the forthcoming “A/B til Infinity” LP. The results are extremely punishing but compelling listening.

“A/B til Infinity” is out in November 2013 on Night Slugs

First up is the much sought-after “Silo Pass” rework by one of the greatest ever Grime DJs and beat makers SIR SPYRO.

Spy gives “Silo” the VIP treatment, flipping that big square bass and amping up the drums for maximum disorientation at the drop. Stripping out the arps and breakdowns, this is “Silo Pass” newly streamlined by an intrinsic Grime logic.

An altogether different creation is the “Silo” remix by legendary ballroom house DJ VJUAN ALLURE. Vjuan delivered this mix to us without ever having access to stems of the original, so this is actually a bootleg and we love that. You won’t hear a Ha Crash anywhere in this super-raw, super-tracky piece of grimey House – instead Vjuan borrows Bok’s bass hits and big hollow snares, letting them ride out in a continuously jerking groove. This track has already been doing damage to runways and dancefloors on both sides of the Atlantic.

Following is Bok’s own remix of his track “Charisma Theme”. He borrows the twin bass arps and icy chimes of the original but eschews its jackin’ House format in favour of a regal 140-bpm half-time. Using a kit of frantic finger snaps, double/tripple-time hats, huge 808 booms and an ominously plasticcy cello line, the new “Charisma Theme” is an acid-Grime monster ready to turn raving crews into masses of paranoid energy.

Two further mixes are exclusive to the digital release, both heavily tape-saturated and representing another side of NS.
The first is NS co-founder L-VIS 1990′s mix for “Reminder”. The original was a simultaneous tribute to the Ghetto House of DJ Slugo and the pulse-saturated 8bar of Youngstar. L-Vis flips the basses and jacks up the drums in the super-raw style of his recent Club Constructions release creating a powerful analog of the OG.
Meanwhile, the NS roster’s youngest new member HELIX remixes “Look”, turning the lurching grimey original into a 9-minute slab of electrified, uncompromisingly propulsive techno.
