Excerpt from Sneaker's legendary Set at Automaticamore back in July 2023.

🌞🍁⚡️

Sneaker wrote us earlier about his selection:
"As my old promo sticker proudly declares - in the past I explored Chicago - Italo - Synth!
The selection here however is stringing together Canadian electronic disco from the golden age in the early 80s. I honestly can't imagine for whom they produced it and whether or where Canadians danced to it. Only via Rams Horn some licensed records found their way to Central Europe (the Dutch were early fans of Italo Disco, too).
The Canadians take on the topic is professional, honed by a top notch production, warm like early Italo and has better but equally simple and generic lyrics. They somewhat co-shaped the Hi NRG sound (yet without gay connotations) and were even more rooted in disco, soul and funk than the Italians (no Krafty influences; like in Chicago for example).
Unlike in Italo the "oeuvre" is tiny, limited and overseeable. There is little gems, rare or private pressings. Who knows why also the markets were so different back then?
And the present of Canatalo?
The hype only starts here!

Credits and props:
I picked up these records here and there, often in the US, of course researched on discogs, peeking on what the eponymous female DJ Automaticamore is doing in Toronto, originally inspired by the cover version of Lost In Love by the Parallax Corporation.
Excuse that I sneaked in a Gertalo juwel by our project Bionda e Lupo and finished with the mad classic by UK punk band Crass.
Fun in the oven for Sane, my dear! I hope you join again soon!"

TOGETHER ALONE avec GOTT & Curses - 13 Janvier 2024

Sneaker has been on a mission to reveal the origins of electronic music for more than twenty years now. Whether as a producer or DJ – Sneaker is doing it properly but always after careful consideration. He loves music which imparts atmosphere and attitude towards life, even in a parodying way that doesn’t take itself too serious. Early on, he fell in love with Detroit and Chicago but furthermore there are the obscure Italo, new wave and minimal synth gems that make his sets and Dunkeltier edits special and provide his productions with that edgy Sneaker flavor.

If he doesn’t ponder on the history of dance music, the graduate of Fine Arts shuttles extensively between his part-time-hometowns Berlin and Dresden, where he operates the TailOut mastering studios with long-time collaborator Jacob Korn. He remixed classic EBM and minimal synth bands such as Twilight Ritual, Esplendor Geométrico, Absolute Body Control, S.M. Nurse, De Fabriek and Click Click on his contributions on Frigio, based in Madrid, Bahnsteig 23 and the Macadam Mambo Edits label from Lyon.

In regards to this particular mix: 
This is the other view, the cold hand of ragged whities, this is the answer to a question not asked, these dots were never connected in 33 years (the earliest pick dating back to the UK in 1990).
Records from Germany, Italy, Finland, Holland, Switzerland, Austria - they all contribute to this woven fabric.
A bunch of my own joints sneaked in, plus a track (indeed done in a tracker in the early 2000s) by my best buddy Jacob Korn (we run tailout.de).

Be sure to catch Sneaker while he's on his current US tour including an appearance at Podlassie Club on January 26th 2024 alongside Beau Wanzer and Jonathan Valdez!

We are very excited to have our favorite Sneaker join us for the fourth edition of the Berlin Ear Guard Radio Show.
For over twenty years, Sneaker has been on a mission to uncover the roots of electronic music. Whether as a producer or DJ, Sneaker approaches his craft with precision and thoughtfulness. He loves music that conveys atmosphere and a sense of life, often in a parodying way that doesn't take itself too seriously. Early on, he fell for Detroit and Chicago, but it’s the obscure Italo, new wave, and minimal synth gems that give his sets and Dunkeltier edits their unique touch and add that edgy Sneaker flavor to his productions.

Berlin Ear Guard Radio Show #4

SNEAKER DJ - Berlin Ear Guard radio show #4

The mix was recorded after our one-off Bionda e Lupo live concert on occasion of the best NDW album of the past 25 years - La Deutsche Vita.
https://www.soundmetaphors.com/release/27396942/Bionda-E-Lupo-La-Deutsche-Vita
For my closing set I took over from Riccardi Schola, who graced our premiere by playing Tränen In Der Nacht four times that night. -  According to him due to the fact that he was confused by the 4 sides of the new record and not at all due to the Spritz he was enjoying with relish throughout the night.
BTW Riccardi's very own and second solo EP will be out soon on a private press 7" sparkling with two Italo songs.
My selection I played from vinyl however is all over Europe and Canada. - Although ... I can sense a certain French touch of mid 80's synth pop before I shift the energy to my obscure Neue Deutsche Welle edits.
I remember the elevating feeling to see one of my favorite DJ's Cid Hohner, dancing with his unmatched smile on his face during the last 30 minutes of this night.

Message to those who follow in our wake:
DON'T FALL FOR THE LATEST TREND! You'd actively destroy culture! BE WHAT YOU ARE - HUMAN! Not a generic bot!

H.A.N.D. MIX 058 : Sneaker

For the 71st installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Next up, welcome Sneaker DJ 👋 

His musical upbringing started out in the Detroit and Chicago space, before further influences like obscure Italo, new wave and minimal synth gems. He's based out of his part-time-hometowns Berlin and Dresden, where he operates the TailOut mastering studios with long-time collaborator Jacob Korn. We were first introduced to him via his impeccable edits on Deep Cover #8. In his own words:

"The mix was recorded for the Needsome radio show and was aired only once on Radio Dreyeckland, Freiburg/Germany.

The session is showcasing curation and craftsmanship that was developed on the fly without sync buttons or a defined order. The selection follows a pattern of progressive music - the majority from the 90s, from Detroit and all Western Europe. A vivid mental image of what Sneaker would have envisioned as the retro trend for 2024 unlike all that generic, shallow trance and gabba.

I had and even to this day have the feeling that my fellows in the radio studio didn't realise what they were witnessing. Despite my usual uncommon selections from a background of 30 years of digging, I played the obvious - even classics (you'll be surprised). These are - nevertheless -  unknown to the unknown.

I blended these tunes with dirty friction - cause I dare to play 3 decks. Harmonic mixing - cause I am not deaf unlike most DJs. If you are a selector (LOL) jerking off on your rotary - let me tell you straight to your face: you are lacking skilltalentandinspiration to add MUSICALITY. Cause yours is no art ... cause it lacks artistry!"

Thanks @sneakerdj 🙏
