In the Mix: DJ Sneak

Chicago favorite DJ Sneak made his name upending his hometown's house scene in the '90s with swaggering tracks that melded disco grooves to hip-hop. He's also proven himself to be a ruthless remixer, radically transforming tracks by avant-pop producer Matthew Dear and trip-hoppers Sneaker Pimps into tech-house anthems. Listen up for outstanding retakes of Freaks and O.G.C., among many others.
