Alex Sushon, known by his stage name Bok Bok, is an English music producer, artist, and founder of the UK record label Night Slugs.

Alex Sushon is the founder and label manager of London-based record label Night Slugs, which has featured releases by Girl Unit, L-Vis 1990, Jam City, Egyptrixx, Helix, P Jam, Pearson Sound, and Mosca. Night Slugs sprang from the clubnight started by Sushon and James Connolly, aka L-Vis 1990, after they connected on MySpace. "Bok Bok already had a solid grounding in sound-system culture; his interest was piqued by a DJ Slimzee mix in 2003, and then, as the grime scene evolved, he shied away toward raw, upbeat grooves from further afield: Baltimore breaks, Detroit ghetto-tech, the footwork/ghetto house hybrids in Chi-Town, and South African arch riddim constructions". Under Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990's guidance, the label/collective has developed a sound which was described by Spin Magazine as a mutable hybrid of grime, house, electro, R&B, techno, hip-hop, and dubstep. Bok Bok's first EP release, entitled Southside, was described as having "a muscular grime foundation with thick bass, bright synths" by XLR8R Magazine. In March 2015 Bok Bok paired up with London Keyboardist/Composer Sweyn Jupiter for double A-Side single ‘Papaya Lipgloss’. The track was released on Night Slugs on 17 March. The sensual club mix fuses synesthetic keyboards and glossy electro-funk. In September 2015, Bok Bok embarked on tour across Asia. In July 2016 Bok Bok headed out on a summer tour across America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
