SANTIGOLD ‘MASTER OF MY MAKE-BELIEVE’ ATLANTIC


BEING made to change your name by an opportunist jeweller/wrestler/budget fi lm- maker who nobody of any discerning taste has ever heard of has got to suck, but Santogold (AKA Santi White) has made the transition to Santigold without pause for her sophomore album released May 1. Out now, lead single ‘Disparate Youth’ is built from the same cloth


as debut single ‘L.E.S Artistes’, with its rousing tale of self-possession matched to skanking, dubbed out new wave a weighty cocktail of melancholy and euphoria.

DJ 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.
