Slugg

Slugg is the DJ and producer Mateo Acosta, who began making music at 15. The hip-hop of the 1990s is the main influence on his production, and its drums and attitude run through his club tracks, each built with its own distinct character.

Acosta grew up in Miami and found his way into music after moving to Orlando, where he joined the House Keepers collective, releasing records through it and playing its events. He later started his own imprint, Getbusy. His tracks have been played by DJs including Loco Dice, Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, Fisher and Classmatic.
