The Circus boss talks us through his remix of Coming With Tha Sounds, taken from DJ Sneak’s mighty new Dirty Sneakers EP…

DJ Sneak
Dirty Sneakers (Coming With Tha Sounds; Time Travel; Coming With Tha Sounds – Yousef’s Chicago Beat; Coming With Tha Sounds – Tom Flynn Remix)

Describe the record in five words.
It is classic DJ Sneak! There are heavy layered drums, a booming funky bass and a relentless groove, but as always, it’s made with as much charm as there is grit.

What is it about this record that will appeal to the fans?
See above! Plus sneak offers a deeper flipside too – Time Travel is a really classy house cut, deeper, groovier and more subtle, with a lot more feeling. Plus there are remixes from myself and Tom Flynn.

How does it differ from your last release?
It’s still chunky underground dancefloor-shaking house, but it’s broader musically.

What was the inspiration for this release?
I’m Sneak’s biggest fan and have been for 15 years. We are good friends now and he plays for me a lot at my Circus parties in Liverpool, so it seemed fitting that he stepped up and dropped a bomb for me.

If you had the chance to play this in any club, which would it be?
I’m lucky to say I’ve played most of the world’s great clubs, but I really want to play Panorama Bar in Berlin. I hear it’s insane.
