Thug Records add DJ Slugo to the roster

Preview Dance Mania veteran DJ Slugo’s forthcoming release for Australia’s Thug Records here.

Australian imprint Thug Records have already showed themselves to be one of the more interesting house music labels this year with releases from Ben Cenac (aka Dream 2 Science), DJ Sotofett’s “DIGGI-DUBBI-TRIPP-MIXES” of material from Nick Anthony Simoncino and Mark Rogers, and most recently a split release from the aforementioned Simnocino and LIES stalwart Steve Summers.

Their next release sees the label expand their remit further into the realm of ghetto house, with an EP from veteran Chi-town producer DJ Slugo; born Thomas Kendricks, the producer is one of the privileged few to have released on the hallowed Chicago institution Dance Mania back in the label’s 90s heyday. By no means inactive since then, the producer’s style, like much of his contemporaries has moved into the realms of faster juke styles, though the filthy nature of his lyrical content remains; clips of the EP, appropriately titled Watch Me Juke, can be heard below.
