This isn’t the first we’ve heard from the anonymous Miami techno outfit, and it certainly won’t be the last. As per usual, the Sluggers bring a slew of booty tech bass lines accented with a variety of industrial synths, thumping breakbeat kicks, and hypnotizing hi-hat/sample combos.

Here’s a wicked video they put out last week for their single, “Turbo Fade”.

This is textbook OWSLA behavior—we expected nothing more, nothing less. The label has been releasing EPs from plenty of monochromatic, breaks-heavy artists like Alesia, Wuki,and The Widdler as of late.

Hence, we really have nothing to complain about; this is 47 minutes of unadulterated eargasm. If you’re an up-and-coming DJ, this is the mix you play in public. Props to these guys and/or gals for cooking up a cohesive mix that still appeals to a diverse audience.

Wondering who Sluggers really is? So are we. For all we know, it could be these guys on the decks…

(TurtleTip: As far as I’m concerned, Sluggers could be my dad and his golf buddies. They still tear shit up!)

Our second mix is brought to you by international house duo, BLACK GIRL/WHITE GIRL. Hailing from Amsterdam and Tel Aviv respectively, the self-proclaimed “empresses of house and bass” offer a combination of deep, tropical, funk, and 90s house.

This mix was dedicated to a UK production company Grey Paper Film and features a booty house rendition of Let It Bump by Missy Elliot and Timbaland, only one of countless examples of the influential hip-hop duo’s rekindled popularity over the past year or so.

BG/WG has yet to release any of their own tracks, but their frequent mixes will hold us over for now. They’ve gone on record saying they have a finished album they’re waiting to drop. So be on the lookout!

Aside from the clean, bouncy grooves displayed by the duo, it’s refreshing to see some female talent kicking ass in the EDM world. In an industry that’s seemingly dominated by men, we can only hope that more female acts will surface throughout the year.

As long as they’re absolutely NOTHING like this…(TurtleTip: Believe it or not, mixing requires a lot of dedication and skill. Don’t try to fake it, unless you have a gazillion dollar trust fund or an atrocious public image to dwarf your fraudulence.)

As much as I can’t stand DJ impostors, I love each and every one of you who reads this segment. Hope to see you back for next week’s edition of TurtleGravy Tuesday! And don’t forget….

Stay PLURsty, my friends ^_^

A few months after the release of Diplo’s Revolution EP, Mad Decent has released four awesome remixes of the title track, “Revolution” featuring Faustix & Imanos and Kai.

Upon release, Mad Decent had the following to say:

Revolution (feat. Faustix & Imanos and Kai),” the title track off of Diplo’s latest EP gets a top notch remix package! Diplo’s stadium trap anthem is reworked by an impressive group of producers including RUN DMT, Sluggers, Panic City and Paper Diamond.

Each remix spotlights different elements of the original instrumental and Kai’s distinct vocals. Panic City and Slugger’s deliver heavy hitting big room remixes while RUN DMT and Paper Diamond turn things inside out with deep apocalyptic drops and new synths leads. All 4 remixes are built to destroy any dance floor and leave you begging for more.

OWSLA Records is back at it folks. This week we tip our hats to the EDM juggernaut for producing yet another smashing release from the enigmatic house crew, Sluggers. Granted we know very little about the group (duo, trio, quartet?), this much is certain: the appropriately named Phantom Fade EP brings a refreshing blend of tracks that fuses classic dance music elements with contemporary EDM trends for all your listening pleasures.

The four track EP opens with Lambo, an ambient tech house number that sounds like what you would get if you packed the Brazilian Carnival into a smoky underground warehouse rave in the early 90s.

Next up is Richie Rich, a breakbeat joint accented with some minimal, electro, and microhouse elements. It is, without a doubt, the most diverse track on the EP. Which leads us to Broke, a more upbeat electro tune packed with funkadelic bass riffs and an infectious cymbal/hi-hat combo.

The fourth and final track, Turbo Fade, leaves us begging for more. With its intense bass buildups and its haunting techno synths, Turbo Fade a tasteful bit of darkness to the equation.

And just when you thought it was over…. Phantom Fade comes equipped with three remixes of Turbo Fade from Mark Starr, Curses, and Lazerdisk respectively. It appears as if OWSLA has been in the holiday spirit these past few weeks, seeing as how they’ve graciously blessed us with several releases in a brief period of time.

From the Nest HQ:

Miami-based collective, Super Music Group‘s, latest addition, Sluggers, have just wrapped up the Phantom Fade EP for OWSLA’s Nest IV, providing an epic collection of tunes with 4 new originals and remixes from Mark Starr, Curses, and Lazerdisk. This EP is so fresh it’s like a warm towel coming out of the dryer

Skrillex, if you’re listening: please, don’t stop. No one’s complaining.
