About

AYO GAINESVILLE... WHAT'S POPPIN! Friday, August 28, 2026 Bourbon Street — Gainesville, Florida Crowd Control and Groove present SLUGG, one of Florida’s fastest-rising names in underground house music, live at Bourbon Street in Gainesville. Born and raised in Miami, Mateo Acosta — better known as SLUGG — has built a sound that pulls from ’90s hip-hop, raw house grooves and the unmistakable energy of Florida club culture. What started with producing music at just 15 years old has grown into appearances on some of the biggest stages in dance music. SLUGG’s résumé already includes EDC Las Vegas, EDC Orlando, III Points, Skyline Music Festival, BPM Festival and Okeechobee, while his records have picked up support from some of house music’s biggest names, including Jamie Jones, FISHER, Loco Dice, Joseph Capriati, Mason Collective, Ben Sterling and Classmatic. Beyond his own releases and performances, SLUGG is building a movement through Getbusy, the label and imprint he founded as a home for the sound he’s helped develop. Bass-heavy, unpredictable and built around records that hit differently on a proper sound system, his sets have made him one of the most exciting artists coming out of Florida’s new generation of house music. After playing stages across the country, SLUGG comes back to Florida on August 28 for an intimate night at Bourbon Street. Gainesville, let's get busy.
