The Chicago house OG defines what the genre is all about.

DJ Sneak is back! Since the beginning of his DJ career in the ‘80s, the Chicago house OG has represented the quintessence of old school dance music, blending disco and Latin flavours over his characteristic long mixing. With a genre-defining array of filter-heavy pieces based on disco sample loops, the veteran has remained true to his own dance sound, never flirting with commercialism.

Sharing the stage with Sneak on his debut at Contact and first return to Japan in seven years is DJ Tasaka. The question on everyone’s lips is whether he will make a retrospective return to the days when the Tokyo-based DJ boasted his distinctive banging style that playfully combined disco with techno. Needless to say, they are joined by our Roundhouse resident and Chicago house aficionado Remi, a rock-solid choice for the occasion. At a time when old school dance music is seeing a resurgence, the three DJs in the know initiate you into the timeless nature of the genre.
