DJ SNEAK "HOUSKEEPIN" (Magnetic)
Work was started in earnest around the time 'Fix My Sink' hit Top 20 in the UK and the resultant tour with Bear Who? Long awaited follow-up single 'Que Pasa' (due for release September 13th) also features the cheeky vocalist. Other guests on the album include Ive Mendes who joins him on 'Siren Song' an out-there groove that recalls Sade and Moodymann. Sneak's voice graces several songs on Housekeepin', as background but also at the forefront of three of the album's more quirky moments. "It felt natural for me to write so I got on the mic. It's influenced by hip hop which pumps from radios 24/7 in the U.S. Nelly, The Neptunes and The Roots are all influences. I'm not a rapper," he corrects, "but I can tell a good story." ....Tracklisting 1-Que Pasa 2-Incredible 3-Call Me 4-Fix My Sink 5-Funky Rhythm 6-Inside 7-Morning Come 8-Siren Song 9-Summer Song 10-Can't Wait 11-Salsa Elektrika 12-The Gas
In 1983, Carlos Sosa aka DJ Sneak, moved to the city of Chicago from the island of Puerto Rico, where his early musical experiences and influences were rooted in salsa, meringue and Latin orchestras. Chicago, like Puerto Rico, is a city rich with musical styles and sounds. In Chicago Sneak found inspiration in underground house music, Warehouse parties and "old school" mix tapes from the early pioneers _ Farley Jackmaster Funk, Ralphi Rosario, Steve Hurley and local radio station shows played on WBMX.
Sneak earned his nickname rocking graffiti-tags and began working at retail stores as an airbrush artist, which kept him out of trouble and allowed him to make important local industry contacts. Development as a DJ came while working regular mobile DJ jobs and local nightclubs. But, in an already saturated DJ pool, Sneak focused on his music production and started his independent label - Defiant Records.
In 1992, using the fundamental studio pieces, Sneak began recording tracks with an unusual new style. In 1994, while still working at local store Gramophone Records, Sneak met Cajmere (Green Velvet) owner of Cajual and Relief Records. Cajmere released three of Sneak's catalyst tracks, which helped to bring Sneak international recognition, and with it, a global DJing career.
In 1995, Sneak's new sound revolutionized house music with inspirational sounds and rhythms never heard. The disco filtered house grooves became Sneak's signature sound. Innovator to many, Sneak's love for music inspired others like Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, Armand Van Helden.
In 1996, DJ Sneak's 'You Can't Hide from your Bud', on Derrick Carter's Classic Recordings, ironically became an instant classic itself; a blueprint for funky, filtered disco-influenced house - Sneak Style - redefining Chicago's underground music. From 1996 to present day, DJ Sneak has perfected his remix skills, seizing opportunities to work with world-class talent and fine-tune his sound. His highly anticipated remixes take dance floors around the world to levels of climactic frenzy with his trademark booty-shakin, bass-heavy beats and rhythms.

After years of development, DJ Sneak is a familiar name across the world's club circuit playing the very best venues and events. A frequent visitor to Ibiza - the island of spiritual parties and Mecca of dance music culture, Sneak has participated in several events with the best UK production companies - Ministry of Sound, Cream, Manumission, and Miss Moneypenny's to mention a few.
A favorite at United Kingdom's summer festivals (Homelands, Creamfields, T in the Park), Sneak shows no mercy on the sound systems and is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Recognized as the disco filter innovator, his productions and musical style has maintained his status as one of the Top 100 DJs in the world for 5 consecutive years. Dynamic in style - from furious banging Chicago tracks and Latin tribal beats, to disco filtered reworks of retro classics and melodic rhythms to suit your soul.
At present time DJ Sneak is focused on his booking agency All World Entertainment where he represents fellow Chicago talents DJ Heather, J-dub, BearWho? and West Coast's Mark Farina and John Howard, with a sub division of Canadian talents DJ Gryphon & DJ Jason Hodges, Tim Patrick and Big League Chu.
In fall 2001 Sneak launched a new record label Magnetic Recordings, where he has been releasing new music, with compilations to come, along with the introduction of new musical talents. He continues to contribute to the evolution and definitive sound that is Chicago House Music.
The future brings light to DJ Sneak's journey, focusing on the development of electronic music's revolution and ongoing struggle to be acknowledged as the sound of tomorrow.

“I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this, I did it my way.”
– Frank Sinatra & Sid Vicious
Both singer’s interpretations of the classic “My Way” convey heartfelt emotions, but it’s not just the words but how they are performed that make them both classic. Nothing could be more apt to demonstrate Colette’s do-it-herself way of crafting a mesmerizing blend of vocal performance and DJing. With each appearance, this artist creates a captivating, organic warmth with her mezzo soprano voice. Colette’s impeccable performance sense complements her programming ingenuity, allowing her to create the perfect nest for her acrobatic, angelic vocals.
This sensibility has taken years to hone and Colette’s training has made her an expert. While growing up in Chicago, she studied music and performance. She discovered house music through the city’s progressive radio shows. At 17, she grabbed a microphone and sang freestyle over her DJ friends’ records.
“It was fun but I didn’t want to sing too much because it was someone else’s music. I didn’t know what they were going to play, it was all freeform. That’s when I thought it would be easier if I DJ’ed myself. I wanted to sing and have the music flow perfectly,” remembers Colette.
From that desire, Colette cultivated her vision to combine these performance styles. Simultaneously attending college and maintaining her voice training, Colette promoted and hosted events all over the city. This immersion into the house clubs heightened her passion for the music. But the decision to commit to DJing and singing didn’t happen until after her performance as the contralto soloist for the annual performance of Messiah. Colette threw off the classical confines and embraced the freedom of house music.
Logically, Colette headed into the studio with her DJ/producer friends to translate her vocal warmth to vinyl. Her first record with Mazi & Motion, “Moments of Epiphany,” was recorded in the old Red Nail loft that had been previously occupied by another Chicago great…Derrick Carter. Her subsequent collaborations included the tracky 12”s “Feel Da Music,” and “Keep On Groovin’,” with DJ Sneak for Strictly Rhythm. On “Try Her For Love,” Colette again challenged tradition by resinging the song differently for each mix by producers Angel Alanis, Johnny Fiasco, Cricco Castelli, Alexi Delano and DJ Q.
