If you're reading this, you don't need an introduction to DJ Sneak. Usually you hear terms like 'legend' and 'pioneer' in the same sentence, and he's earned it. Just when you think he's at the top of his game, he's already 10 steps ahead taking it to a whole other level.
How Sneak finds time for his prolific output ranging from original tracks, remixes, DJ Mixes, albums, merchandising and three labels is baffling. He's in a new country or continent every week as the headliner in the largest clubs and biggest festivals, and it would be nearly impossible to find an artist who is featured on such a wide variety of top tier labels as Sneak--Strictly Rhythm, Ovum, Permanent Vacation,Henry Street, Cajual, Be As One, Guesthouse, NRK, Scion Audio, Tsuba, Om Records, Large Music, and on and on and on.
If you thought you saw a lot of DJ Sneak in 2011, once again he's already ahead of you. Less than two months into 2012, he's already released the critically acclaimed Fabric DJ Mix and just dropped another new album "In Demand". We served up our 15 Questions to get some more insight into what makes an artist like Sneak tick.
