Track Of The Day: DJ Sneak - Latin Seoul (Large)


From his ‘Blu Belly Bandit EP’, released back in 1996, this is one of many classic tracks that DJ Sneak has released over the years. What makes this stand out, however, is its subtlety and aura. Utilising a sample from ‘Sueno Latino’, which was, in turn, inspired by Manuel Gottsching’s ‘E2-E4’, this is a potent builder that fades in and put of the mix to great effect. Why ‘Seoul’? What, if any, is the Korean connection? No idea. Is DJ Sneak still a “house gangsta”? God knows. This is one of his best though.
