Sluddy Daddy

Sluddy Daddy is the unapologetic pulse of HART. As co-founder and resident DJ, he’s created a dance floor where techno, freedom, and queerness collide. His journey with dance music runs deep — from his go-go dancing days in Florida to late-night clubbing through New York City’s underground.  These experiences shaped his obsession with movement, rhythm, and the liberating power of nightlife.Behind the decks, Sluddy Daddy delivers filthy techno and heavy bass, fuelled by the same passion that first pulled him onto the dance floor.

With a knack for lacing nasty, unapologetic vocals through diverse shades of techno, his sets channel his vision of queer techno: raw therapy for the soul. Let the music take control.
