DJ Sneak – ‘Necessary Evils EP’ – (Desolat)

DJ SneakSneak’s debut for Desolat doesn’t pull any punches, but then you wouldn’t expect it to. Four equally vibrant productions go to make up the EP beginning with ‘Evil Wemen’ whose atmospheric, filtered rhythms blend neatly together with chunky piano chords and sizzling beats. Feeling almost restrained compared to ‘Nobody Better ‘which beefs up the tempo with distorted kick drums and furious percussion, this doesn’t play quietly for the faint-hearted. The theme continues with the apt Poundin Mix of ‘Assault On You’ featuring fevered stabs and vocal snippets all competing noisily for your attention. ‘Beat Some Sense Into You’ completes with off-beat claps and a Techno flavoured bassline making absolutely no sense of it all. Relentless.
