House music legend DJ Sneak shows why he's a master of the groove on his Back To Love EP for Heist Recordings. There's only a handful of people that can really say they've seen house music since its earliest days. Puerto Rica-born, Chicago-bred, and LA-based artist DJ Sneak is definitely one of them. He has been the king of the groove ever since his big break back in '94 through Cajmere's label Cajual and was key in the development of that mid-nineties house sound with appearances on labels such as Strictly Rhythm, Henry St Music, and 83 West. Sneak has worked with some of the biggest artists in the game including Daft Punk, (delivering lyrics for their track "Digital Love"), Armand Van Helden, and many more. After a break in where Sneak re-evaluated his relationship with the scene and his music, he's now back doing the thing he loves most: Making killer tracks and slamming it on a record. The aptly titled Back To Love EP starts off with one of Sneak's most intimate productions to date: "Love can make it happen." Built around an ever-evolving vocal loop, and dreamy strings this track is deeper than deep with the percussion matching that meditative energy, with the grunt only Sneak can bring. "Going back to it" is Chicago house music in its core. Moody chords, some vocal chops, a badass bass line, and solid percussion is all you need. With "Full Cycle" on the flip, Sneak takes back his rightful place as the king of the groove. It's a track that is reminiscent of the days of "Paperclip People" where the bluntness of a live recorded "on/off" arrangement really adds something special to a track. The EP ends with "Pockets," a house jam with classic '90s vocals and energetic snare drums to add that classic New York touch to this already amazing record.
