Sugar

Sugar is a Minneapolis-based group that formed in 1992 as an alternative rock band featuring Bob Mould, David Barbe, and Malcolm Travis. The group was active until 1995 before reforming in June 2025, marking their transition into electronic music production with their first house release appearing on Milk & Sugar Recordings in April 2013.

Sugar produces house music spanning deep house, tech house, and indie dance territories across labels including Milk & Sugar Recordings, Enormous Tunes, Club Sweat, and Spinnin Deep. The group has released 33 tracks since 2013, with their sound evolving from deep house foundations into more energetic tech house and indie dance crossover material. Their releases on Club Sweat and Enormous Tunes indicate they work within the 120-128 BPM range typical of modern house music, while their Spinnin Deep catalog suggests they also explore deeper, more atmospheric house textures suitable for extended DJ sets.
