Getting to know DJ Sneak
Let’s start from the origin: we all know where you came from musically, but more generally, do you remember your first contacts with music, before the first beats, where your love for music come from? SNEAK: I was born into music, particularly Latin music from the island of Puerto Rico, which is where I was [...]
My 5 Favourite Things: DJ Sneak
Sneak, a heavy hitter on the international club front, has always been an outspoken advocate for real, unfettered, underground house music, launching his “I’m a house gangster” campaign a few years ago to get house music’s groove back after countless dalliances with industry glamour. His Puerto Rican lineage infuses some of his output with a distinctly tribal, Latin feel, while infectious disco filtered house beats make up the bulk of his magnum opus. This funky don shared his five favourite things with Societe Perrier.

Real cool time – DJ SNEAK lives the true-school house life
“I have this campaign going right now, with T-shirts and things that say I’M A HOUSE GANGSTER,” DJ Sneak says over a shaky phone connection from Amsterdam, where he’s in the midst of a tour to promote a new release. “People go, ‘What’s a House Gangster?’ A House Gangster is someone who keeps it real, that’s what it is. And that’s what I am.” The veteran producer, age 38, might sound like an arrogant tough-guy, but he speaks the truth; when it comes to authentic, no-frills, thumping Chicago House music, Sneak has few peers.

Our House Magazine interviews DJ SNEAK
A man like DJ Sneak needs no introduction to the House music fraternity, he’s a true Chicago legend and can rustle up one of the baddest BBQ’s in the business. Apart from flipping the meat with the spicy salsa and rocking dance floors the world over with his trademark Jackin’ sound, he’s partial to the odd manicure and pedicure at his health spa that he and his wife part own in San Francisco, but what else has Puerto Rico’s most famous House export been up to?
