Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix) is the third EP by the American experimental hip hop group Death Grips, self-released by the band on May 22, 2017.[1][2] The piece, a mix of 8 (disputably 7) songs on a single track, has been described as a "barrage of noise".[3][by whom?]

The band announced the EP on Facebook, also announcing the development of their then-unnamed sixth studio album Year of the Snitch. The post reads: "we're working on the new death grips album. but in the meantime, here's a new track/mix. it's 22 minutes."[4]

The EP was later released for the first time physically on vinyl for Record Store Day 2019, featuring the previously YouTube-exclusive tracks "More Than the Fairy" and "Electronic Drum Solo (Dub Mix)" as B-sides.[5]
