In recent weeks, we’ve collected playlists from Pressure Point, Eli Roth, and Benny Blanco. This week’s installment comes straight from the USB of New York nightlife vixen Sausha de la Ossa. The Colombian-born, Miami-made DJ’s distinct amped-up strain of sexy Latin club and industrial techno gets asses on dance floors everywhere from Maspeth to Medellín, and last week, Sausha finally dropped her eponymous debut EP with Halcyon Veil. Before carrying to “Trampa (Slowed Coast)” at her next set, listen to the songs that have been “scratching every itch inside [her] brain” and find out about her Shazam habits, sneaky links, and signature smokey eye below.
