Review:
Not much has changed in DJ Sneak's inimitable world since he emerged in the mid-90s. He still has a love of sampling catchy piano solos - audible on "Evil Women" - and as most of the tracks on Necessary Evils demonstrate, he does filtered disco house better than anyone else. However, this release for Loco Dice's label also signals that a number of changes are afoot. Apart from the decidedly un-PC track titles - "Beat Some Sense Into You", anyone? - Sneak's production sounds smoother and slicker. The drums and pulsing bass on "Women" are devoid of the rawness that characterised his 90s releases, while "Assault on You" heralds a new-found fascination with techno, as dark chords are combined with an evil rave horn.

Review:
Taking a break from his regular beef with various EDMsters and techno hipsters, Sneak returns to the studio to do what he does best; slap seventy shades of sonic shizzle out of his studio. Here are four class examples; "House That Jack Built" is a bone-shaking homage to every house record to ever come out of the US, "Definition Movement" is a Yazoo sampling behemoth, "Micronolito" is jacking groove that winks with Latino spirit while "You're Welcome" brings us to a percussive climax that's closer, at points, to techno than it is house. Explosive!

Review:
Chicago's Sneak was a hugely influential figure in the mid-90s, inspiring Daft Punk and inadvertently kick-starting the filtered disco sound. The opening track, by Strip Steve and Das Glow, suggests that he has embraced minimal house, but for Sneak fans looking for disco-fuelled thrills, Fabric 62 is a veritable treasure trove. The advent of technology has made Sneak's DJing and the productions sound tighter and purists may bemoan the loss of the Chicago DJ's raw aesthetic. However, in its place comes a middle ground between Relief jacking and German minimalism on Hector Couto's "Creampie", the rolling groove and unbridled sensuality of Mendo's "Old School" and the irresistible vocal hooks and carnival vibes of Ex Tepper's "In, Out, Life" - all tweaked and filtered as only Sneak knows how.

Review:
It's endemic of electronic music's globalised nature that Israeli producer Shlomi Aber and Chicago veteran DJ Sneak are working together. What's even more notable is the fact that Aber's take on "After Touch" is more Berlin than Tel Aviv. In fact, if you were to close your eyes while playing this at a high volume, it would be easy to imagine it emanating from the Ostgut / Berghain stable, as firing, snappy percussion and dense drums underscore an insistent, surging bass. On the other hand, Sneak's version disproves the globalised theory; while it too has a driving feeling, he can't resist peppering the arrangement with disco filters. Some things are just mean to stay local.
