MAGNETIC RECORDINGS
 
Magnetic Recordings is the label from the inimitable DJ Sneak.  As expected from a man who has House music running through his veins, the sound of Magnetic is all about pure, raw, uncompromising 4/4 beats. DJ Sneak has travelled the globe sharing his passion for House music with crowds of many sizes but has also been able to use the Magnetic label as an outlet for the sound he truly loves and respects. Magnetics releases traverse the very best in jacking, tech and soulful grooves.
 
“Magnetic Recordings is all about jackin’ underground House music – raw and pure” – DJ SNEAK
 
Established in 2001 and now based in Toronto, the early Magnetic releases were primarily an outlet for Sneak's unique brand of House and spawned the international hit 'Fix My Sink' amongst other now-classics such as 'Smokey Hill Street', 'Summer Song' and 'Que Pasa (What's Going On)'.  As the label has developed, Magnetic has welcomed an all-star cast of producers including Armand Van Helden, Todd Terry, Josh Wink, Derrick Carter, Loco Dice, Ricardo Villalobos, Basement Jaxx and DJ Dan, alongside incredible talents and future stars like DJ W!ld, Ramon Tapia, Andrea Oliva, Hector Moralez, Tripmastaz, Arturo Garces, Jem Atkins and J Paul Getto.
 
“Every release on my label is hand-picked by myself personally and I always test my tracks out at different gigs around the globe before making my final decision on what will be released on my label. Natural selection is the way of Magnetic” – DJ SNEAK
 
Magnetic continues to push forward the sound of House music, and with Sneak at the helm you can be sure we're talking REAL House. 


DJ SNEAK CLASSICS
 
DJ Sneak Classics is a label which really needs very little explanation. Showcasing the very best in vintage tracks by label owner and self-styled House Gangster, DJ Sneak, the 'Classics' imprint brings a blend of stone-cold anthems, dancefloor favorites, and forgotten treasures back to the forefront of DJ sets.  The tracks sound as fresh as they did the first time around and still have the same devastating club impact.  DJ Sneak also hand-picks remixers to give their own new take on the tracks, with contributors so far including legends such as Todd Terry, Unabombers, Johnny Fiasco, DJ W!LD and Phil Weeks, alongside newer producers like Soydan, Monoman, David Glass and Arturo Garces.

No accurate depiction of electronic music culture would be complete without special mention of Deborah De Luca. Widely acknowledged as one of the most prominent flag-bearers for Techno globally and a regular fixture inside the world’s most distinguished DJ booths, Deborah has the unique ability to transfix crowds with her electrically charged, technically nuanced sets, fusing hard techno with minimal grooves and melodic soundscapes to absorbing effect. A pioneer in the use of social networks as a promotional tool, whilst somehow managing to retain a strong sense of discretion in her private life, Deborah is unrivalled in her determination and passion, earning every part of her current status as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the international Techno scene over the past decade.
Born under the shade of the infamous Vele di Scampia – one of the toughest districts in Naples – the now-globally recognised DJ, producer and label head came from humble beginnings, forging her path to international success against unlikely odds. However this was to become her making. “You shouldn’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t become”, she expounded in a rare interview, referencing her early livelihood as a nightclub dancer. “It’s true, in recent years I have gained popularity, but I am very grateful for the long journey it’s taken”. More than anything else, Deborah’s roots and her unwavering ethic are an integral part of the flourishing artist we see before us today.
Deborah spent the formative years of her musical career in Northern Italy, following a brief stint at fashion school in Modena. Cutting her teeth on the European club circuit, where she quickly realised music was her true calling, Deborah’s hard work and relentless determination eventually began to pay off and in 2013 she launched her very own imprint Sola_mente Records. Created as a platform by which to release her own music, free from creative pressure and external constraints, the label went from strength to strength and in November 2018, Deborah marked a decade-long career in the industry with the critically acclaimed release of her debut album ‘Ten’. A huge milestone for the Italian producer, ‘Ten’ represented an important rite of passage and a body of work that she would cherish indefinitely.

Belgium’s longest-running techno club.
