DJ Slugo

For thirty years, DJ Slugo has pioneered ghetto house music. One of the original fathers of Chicago Ghetto House/Juke music, Slugo’s records, juke DVDs, remixes and archetype presence in underground dance music is undeniable. In the 90’s, DJ Slugo became one the first ghetto house artists on Dance Mania Records - immediately dropping future club classics like “Wouldn’t You Like to Be a Hoe Too”, “Freaky Ride”, “A Blunt” and countless others. Slugo would then go on to become President of Blok Club DJs. Blok Club would go on to revolutionize the ways DJs operate together, launching with 145 DJs – all spinning, booking and releasing records under one self-governed umbrella. While changing the business of underground music, DJ Slugo’s music was also transforming mainstream Hip Hop and R&B. He’s been commissioned to do official remixes for Missy Elloitt, Big Sean and R Kelly. Refusing to be pigeon-holed, he's also crossed genres to remix Nina Kraviz, work with Nicolas Jaar and is credited with being a main influence to world-renowned Daft Punk. DJ Slugo has released over 600 songs, 50 CD’s, 15 albums, 10 DVD’s and 3 vinyl releases over his iconic career – and he’s not slowing down anytime soon, having recently placed records on HBO’s Southside, Ballers, Empire and Grand Theft Auto. He also was named Best EDM DJ (2019) and Best Street/Party DJ (2021) at the CMA’s. Underbeat Magazine was spot on when they named him,
