Maslow does not dissapoint consistent underground bangas

LOVE IT! ❤️ STRAIGHT FIRE! 🔥 FULL SUPPORT 🙏 Featured on my latest in my B2B producer series for UMT.radio with top talent, Scrubfish. 🎵 https://soundcloud.com/djaaronjames/aaron-james-x-scrubfish-on-air-018-dec-umtradio

The first in a series of exclusive Bandcamp compilations that is all hitters and no shitters. 

Volume 1 showcases some of the label’s tried and tested bangers which helped establish Paper as one of the leading lights in the British dance music explosion of the 90s. Fusing disco and deep house, club music was taken in a brand new direction and loosely labelled ‘Nu Brit House’. 

As fresh today as the day they were born.

After Me

Toronto house music stalwart Jason Hodges teams up with Melbourne's Joey Coco for a chunky house jam with a hot remix from the legendary DJ Dove for the increasingly strong Aussie imprint Refuge Recordings. Pacey yet deep. 'Opus' channels soulful vocals, skippy percussive rhythms, sprightly synth chords and hard-funking bass. JC's Vocal Mix lets the sweet vox take centre stage, with a stripped-back version coming in the form of Hodges' Dubtool. New Jersey pioneer DJ Dove provides a killer remix, with undulating, queasy, booming bass tones snaking under hard-hitting drums, big snare roll-driven breaks and a dash of techno intensity.

DJ Sneak returns to his roots on his Synesthesia EP on Heist Recordings.  

Last year, when DJ Sneak visited our studio during ADE, we spoke for a long time about his newly found joy in house music, producing music in the current landscape, and letting go of all the things that made him uneasy with the scene for a long time. At one point, he grabbed a bunch of his hard drives, fired up our Dave Smith & Pioneer Toraiz sampler (the one we used for our live shows and the workstation he swears by for producing and arranging all his music), and showed us what must be one of the most impressive collections of demos we’ve ever seen. He talked us through his ideas for a new record on Heist with the enthusiasm of a producer who had just bought his first MPC60 back in the 80s. His ‘Back to love’ EP was still due to release and we already knew the follow-up would be equally amazing.

Fast forward about a year and after amazing feedback on his Heist debut from platforms like XLR8R, DJ Mag, Faith fanzine and plenty of radio coverage, along with DJ support from the likes of Joy Anonymous, Louie Vega, Jamie Jones, Honey Dijon, TSHA, Dj Seinfeld, Jennifer Cardini, Carista, he drops a new record on Heist recordings; The Synesthesia EP is another showcase of the raw talent of DJ Sneak, skillfully working his gear and churning out massive tunes full of classic Chicago house references, 90’s euphoria, and chunky synths.

The EP kicks off with ‘I can tell what you want’, a deep and bubbly groover where DJ Sneak takes some naughty chopped up R’n’B vocals and adds a pinch of the ghetto sound that he adopted in his formative years in Chicago. Sneak manages to take that influence and deliver something altogether contemporary with this track, ticking all the right boxes of catchy vocals, moody chords, a nasty bassline, and clever sampling. 

If the first track embodies his Chicago spirit, then ‘A taste of the 90s’ embodies DJ Sneak’s New York spirit. With funky guitar and key licks, loopy horns, shuffling percussion and plenty of changeovers in the arrangement, he masterfully shows us the joy of classic house music. There’s always another element that gets added or taken away to build anticipation or release the energy with its chunky low end. It’s a true party starter with the energy of a young DJ Sneak spinning his first records way back when. 

On the flip, we’ve got ‘Dirty Jazz’. This delicious piece of Deep House is built around off-kilter drums with a syncopated bass line and quirky sample cuts. It’s got enough beef to keep the energy going, and the right amount of weirdness to grab your attention whenever this is played.

The closing track ‘You know what I mean’ adds another layer of weird-sounding vocals that will stick with you until long after the song is over. This track – and the whole EP for that matter – oozes the playful energy of a producer who’s completely comfortable with his musicality. It’s fun and playful, delivered with the class that only a hero of the underground like Sneak can do.

On the Synesthesia EP, DJ Sneak takes you deep on a trip through his musical roots and keeps you on the edge of your seat with 4 tracks bursting with personality.  

Grab this record while you can and share the love,  

Heist Recordings.

DJ Sneak - A taste of the 90s

''It all started with a brief phone call and we discovered that we were only 10 minutes away from one another - so a future studio session with choice weed was long overdue. The 'Untouchable Funk' EP is what ensued as we shared, chopped, and arranged our sampled based textures into one creative space. We wanted to lay down beats that we could get right into for our culture and the clubs. Big Love out to Jesse Rose and Play It Down for taking this journey with us!' - DJ Sneak and Demuir
