DJ Sneak - Buggin Da Beats
Review by Detha Prastyphylia
DJ Sneak's album Buggin Da Beats is a perfect blend of classic house music and modern beats. The album features 12 tracks that showcase Sneak's unique style of mixing and scratching. The opening track, "Buggin Da Beats," sets the tone for the entire album with its funky bassline and catchy vocal samples.
Throughout the album, Sneak incorporates different elements of house music, including disco, funk, and soul. Tracks like "Funky Rhythm" and "Latin Seoul" feature infectious grooves and intricate percussion, while "Keep On Groovin" and "Work It" are more uptempo and dancefloor-friendly.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Dancin' With The Angels," which features a soulful vocal sample and a driving bassline. The track builds to a crescendo with Sneak's signature scratching, creating a high-energy atmosphere that is sure to get any club-goer moving.

Notes
- The case lists 16 titles. However "The Ride" and "Casio's Theme" were both mixed in title 1 which makes it 15 technical titles on the CD.
- Remix credits were not mentioned on the cover for tracks #6, #7 and #12.
- Tracklisting as provided on the CD, in fact the CD only displays 15 tracks due to obviously falsely placed indexes.

About DJ Sneak
One of the second wave of influential Chicago house producers and a member of the vanguard of late-'90s American house producers, DJ Sneak wasn't born in the Windy City but began listening to house soon after his family arrived from Puerto Rico in the early '80s. Because he could speak no English, Sneak gravitated to instrumental music (as well as graffiti art), and became inspired by Chicago legends such as and . Many of those early innovators had left Chicago for the East Coast by the late '80s, when Sneak was ready to start in the business; by 1992, however, had begun a resurgence in the city's classic sound by starting up . Sneak aided in the revolution with a series of singles on Cajual's sister label, the harder-oriented . Besides other productions for Strictly Rhythm, Henry St., ZYX, 83 West and Feverpitch (several of which feature on co-production, building on the Latin vibes of their heritage), DJ Sneak has also released mix compilations including 1996's Kinky Trax Collection and the following year's Buggin' Da Beats. He also worked in the Gramophone Records store in Chicago.
Founder of the independent vinyl labels (1993), (2001) and (2002) as well as (1995) for promo releases plus digital only labels (2008) and (2008).
In 1995 he established his own record store called "Sneak Beats" in Toronto (Canada) which sold underground house music on Vinyl and CDs from their store and by mail order. It closed down approximately 10 years later.

Sneak is one of the best house mixers out there. I'm glad he's still around and hasn't sold out to the EDM sound.

Sick mix by Sneak! Good old vinyl’s…

I am with you all here. DJ Sneak had some Fbi spy tricks to make sure it only sounds right on CD. My mp3 version is also crap quality and the reason to permanently leave this disc in my Buick deck!
<3 I bug all Da Sneak’s beats.

HOW TO FIX THE SOUND ON THIS DISC: Ok we all know this mix sounds very odd and not like we remember it. WHERE'S THE DAMN BASS? Here's a trick: Move the balance on your device's sound system over to the left or right. OMG THERE *IS* BASS! But you don't hear it--and some other parts like vocals--with the balance in the middle.
There's a good reason for this: one of the stereo channels is phase-inverted. There are peaks in the wave where there should be troughs, and vice-versa. HOWEVER, all it not lost: THERE IS A WAY TO FIX THIS!!
Pull the tracks into Audacity. Split the stereo track into left and right. Select the whole right waveform. Effects -> Invert. Bingo, you've just fixed the sound. Export-> MP3. Repeat for the other tracks, and you're done. You've just made this mix sound as awesome as you remember!
