Jockey Slut - Slut Trax and Slut Smalls

Slut Trax and Slut Smalls

In 1997, Slut launched Slut Trax, a record label which went on to become very short-lived, launching only two singles in a year. One of them, Christopher Just’s I’m A Disco Dancer, was licensed from International Deejay Gigolos and became something of an electroclash anthem and a dance classic, with remixes of it still being released as of today.

A year later after Slut Trax, Slut Smalls was launched, with the aim of releasing split 7” singles with unreleased material from established and up and coming artists. This enterprise lasted until the demise of the magazine, with a total of 11 releases. Some of the pairings have included Barry Adamson with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Add N to (X) with Andy Votel and The Dirtbombs with Justin Robertson.

Parallel to this, the magazine would occasionally give away free CDs with an issue. This practice became steadier in 2003, during which Slut released 13 volumes of the Disco Pogo For Punks In Pumps series, which consisted of compilations mainly reflecting that issue’s contents. Artists like Mylo, The Go! Team, M.A.N.D.Y., Ricardo Villalobos and Justice all got relatively early exposure through this series.
