DJ Sneak: classique or dud?

i think maybe he's a lightweight classic.

sorry

i prob can't explain it other than check out:

stardust - music sounds better with you

its got that music is soundely in another room oh no its back in this room vibe to it. like someone is opening or shuting a door. or a filter as the case really is. whats a filter. a big nob on a computer.
yup. or a button.

I think it's great, although the monologue is kind of outdone by Perspex Sex by the freeform five.

DJ Sneak i've always found a bit too monotonous to really like - i saw his live set 6 years ago and it was alright but i need something more...

The vocal is still great though!

DJ Sneak - 'Que Pasa'

why are none of his mix cds as good as the 97 essential mix?

Buggin da Beats is a pretty fuckin great mix cd from him.

'u can't hide from your bud' <3 <3 <3

u need this

an d this too

got the sneak/julia kinky trax vinyl but much less stuff on it

classic!
kind of fell off after "you can't hide...", 10 years ago.

anyone wanna ysi that japanese one?

holy krappe that kinky tracks mix looks goooooood!

has anyone heard that boot of 'u can't hide from your bud' with the vox from 'love can't turn around' over it??

hi, does anyone know what kind of house did dj sneak play on his 2005 essential mix (Live from T in the Park)? it's really groovy with nice female vocals.

do you know any release similar to that?

he has a 2 disc mix cd out next year which runs along the same lines:

Chicago house producer DJ Sneak is next in line to do a mix for NRK's Back In The Box series.

Following on from Dave Clarke's selection of vintage acid-house, Sneak's double-disc mix perfectly encapsulates his loopily jacking sound, taking in Cajmere, Paul Johnson and Derrick Carter. Why all the old stuff? Back In The Box is one of the few mix sets that encourages producers to delve deep into their crates and pick out some of their classic tracks, rather than just being a reflection of what they're playing at the moment. That's why in addition to the aforementioned Chicago house legends, there are a couple of tracks from the Sneak man himself, including his re-version of Loose Joints' "Is It All Over My Face."

i meant jacking, not groovy.

Durrr Durrr, try Classic Records and Music For Freaks comps. I really like Brett Johnson's Business As Usual for the former and Johnny Rock & Matt Styles' See You @ The Party for the latter.

that NRK mix looks great

Yeah there are some great records in that tracklisting. I just hope the mixing is suitably rough. The mixing on the one and only Sneak mix I ever owned was a bit flat.

I'm sure it's been posted somewhere else, but great piece by Matos:
http://www.chicagoreader.com/gyrobase/a-history-of-the-second-wave-of-chicago-house-music/Content?oid=6194277&showFullText=true

Derrick Carter is talking in the comments section, calling attention to the things that Matos left out. Hard to think of a higher honor than having Derrick Carter jump into the conversation.

Still a good article. I find myself telling friends about the origins of house music all the time — gay, black, latino, inner city, midwestern, USA. They all think it's white and European. It's good to have these articles published.

It is a great read. And Derrick Carter had some good comments, but, shit, he opened up the floodgates for a lot of other comments to dump on Matos.

oh man derrick carter should feel lucky that someone in the us still wants to canonize the man who brought us a million novelty samples (ragtime, banjo, klezmer, etc) over a hyperactive 4x4 beat

this dude's latest fabric cd is BANGING
