LONE GALAXY GARDEN R&S


IT may not be out until the 7th May but Lone’s newest album ‘Galaxy Garden’ is already teasing us like the summer sun. Released this week, the double-sided ‘Crystal Caverns 1991/Vulcan Acid’ has been on repeat since we fi rst heard it with its irresistibly large blend of hardcore, acid and polyrhythmic funk. But the video


above shows his less bombastic side too, with hints of chillwave (chillrave anyone?) and other crystalline fl uidity, graphically captured by the underwater luminescence of a pulsating jellyfi sh-like creature. If you want to catch Lone, aka Matt Cutler, in the meantime he’s one of the residents at Manchester’s Hoya:Hoya.


SNEAK


PLENTY lay their claim to Chicago authenticity but there are few who carry the true spirit of its legacy, let alone earned their reputation playing its clubs and parties. Despite now living in Toronto, the imposing fi gure of DJ Sneak is fi lled with more jack than you could shake a beanstalk at, knocking out classics like ‘Can’t Hide From Your Bud’ and releasing via his own Magnetic Recordings. The master of pumping house


beats with a funk, hip-hop and disco edge, his recent mix for Fabric showcased mixing tighter than a nat’s chuff (and it’s a designer chuff at that) with a whole heap of attitude to boot. He’s matched that for us with a podcast that spends no time waiting around, diving straight into Sneak’s trademark heavy house groove and never letting up.
