Dj Sneak – Influences
It's a pretty difficult task for someone with such history but the self-proclaimed House Gangster, DJ Sneak has stopped by to impart the records that influenced his sound… and there's some absolute crackers in here!
Many proclaim it but it's fair to say Sneak has helped shape the course of dance music since the early 90s; his early music influencing the likes of Daft Punk, Bassment Jaxx and Armand Van Helden. You Can't Hide From Your Bud… say no more really.
Filtered disco-influenced house and tough, jacking beats Sneak continues to be at the top of his game.
Here's what got him there…
DJ Sneak 'Moody Warehouse Music Vol. 1' is out now on Magnetic Recordings.
As I arrived in Chicago in late 1983, this was one of the first tracks I remember hearing on the radio on the weekends, I really did not know what to think of it but later learnt to appreciate its simplicity. Hypnotic was the sound, all House heads still used to bump it.
