12390 Sneak Essentials Vol 1 Second wave Chicago producer DJ Sneak already had a fistful of releases under his belt with various US independent labels when he arrived at Strictly in 1995, but he became a key fixture over the next few years with his brand of uncompromising hard disco grooves, a sound that was to become a core influence of Daft Punk and their fellow travellers. ‘In Da Clouds’ from this volume was signed by EMI’s Fever Pitch imprint for the UK, where it underwent a name change to ‘Different Shapes and Sizes’.
