2023 saw the surprise return of L-Vis 1990 after a six-year creative hiatus.
Co-founder of Night Slugs – one of the UK’s defining dance labels of the last 15 years – alongside Bok Bok, James Connolly’s L-Vis 1990 moniker played an integral role in introducing audiences to a melting pot of hyper-specific global club sounds. Through the label’s Club Constructions series and a run of blistering club 12”s in the early 2010s – Lil Silva’s ‘Night Skanker’, Girl Unit’s ‘Wut’, Bok Bok’s ‘Southside’ EP, L-Vis 1990’s ‘Ballads’ and Jam City’s ‘Classical Curves’ LP to name a few – Night Slugs’ alchemistic blueprint helped redefine the possibilities of UK club music.
“I stopped doing L-Vis back then because I was so sick of cyclical trends at the time”, said Connolly back in 2023. “But I never overlooked the cultural significance of what we were doing, and how that impacts dance music in the UK even now. We set the blueprint.”
Now back in demand as a producer, L-Vis 1990 has spent much of the summer working with everyone from Jyoty to Katy B, Skrillex, Flowdan, BXKS and the House Gospel Choir. There’s also a new mixtape in the works, which’ll feature some of the freshest voices in the UK right now including Jayhadadream, Jianbo, Tia Talks, Baklava and Paul Stephan, and a new EP made in collaboration with breakout Newham MC, Eklipse, on the way in January 25.
Wherever Connolly chooses to take L-Vis 1990 from here, one thing is for certain — he’ll never stand still.
