Elsewhere we get Boo Williams-esque gliding electric licks on "West Side Radio", highly swung house beats on "Ass Is Gonna Work" and EP opener, "So Damn Electrik" sees the producer squeeze every last drop of danceable goodness out of a filtered boogie loop. Soft drums, concentric rhythms, deep bass, tidy vocal chops - it's the Sneak formula deployed with aplomb and we're loving it! Hard to pick a favourite, but the bucking bronco, maximum canter he achieves on "Elektric Deep" is a particular highlight. The second 12" from esteemed Chicagoan DJ Sneak and it's on Toy Tonics - one of our favourite labels! Another US legend joins the German house label following Kai Alcé and Joe Claussell! If you've already clocked this week's release on Heist then it's more of the same here - natural, almost effortless groove conjured up in that Sneaky manner! ‘Crew Thing’ and ‘House Music Transcends’ follow suit, both teeming with energy as the two producers show off their unique creative process through sound. The EP’s lead, ‘It Just Happened’ features breathy synths and acidic loops that harken back to an era of underground house, immediately nostalgic yet forward thinking in its technique. Joined once again by Cle, a fellow veteran of the German rave scene, the pair return to the cult NYC label with three striking originals following previous release ‘Let It Go / Suitcase In A Box’. From early LPs ‘Volksworld’ and ‘Da Minimal Funk’, to later works ‘Traffic Signs’ and ‘Never Ending Winding Roads’, Bug’s futuristic vision is apparent throughout his experimental releases. The German tastemaker and Poker Flat label boss has helped define a plethora of electronic sub genres through his modern releases and expansive DJ sets. Two longstanding electronic legends, Steve Bug reunites with frequent collaborator Cle for the three-track ‘It Just Happened EP’ on Nu Groove.
