A decade of special musical memories at Sneak will be celebrated with a 10th-anniversary event and first ever Friday night slot at its famous home of XOYO in the heart of Shoreditch on November 29th. A brilliant line-up has been curated to represent Sneak over the years, billing Jess Bays, Gem Precious, Jay Forster, Janika Tenn and more in what’s set to be a milestone of a party. Tickets are available from Sneak Rave.
Over the years, this much-loved weekly party has welcomed the best DJs in the world from across a wide spectrum of sounds. Stars like Rudimental, Danny Howard, MistaJam, 99 Souls, SKT, Cera Alba, and tonnes more have all made their mark and helped to shape Sneak into one of the most exciting weekly events while also platforming the DJ stars of tomorrow with a welcoming crowd that is open-minded and always focussed on the music first and foremost. This sure-to-be colourful anniversary is an unmissable celebration of everything that Sneak has always been about – fresh music with a great crowd. It’s a chance for those who were there at the start, more recent converts and everyone in between to start the festive season early.
Headlining this 10-year special is Jess Bays who returns to Sneak having first debuted at the party way back in 2015. It was those gigs as a resident that helped her on her way to stardom and she now enjoys over 1.6 million online listeners a month and gigs around the world. The weekly Capital Dance host has released on labels such as Defected, Stress and Warner and recent tracks like ‘Real Love’ with Kelli-Leigh have proven high hits.
Next up is Jay Forster, one of the first Sneak DJs and now the longest resident after a whole decade on the decks. In that time, he has helped shape the dance music conversation as a specialist producer at BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra and is a real tastemaker with an eclectic and electric sound.
Also playing are Sneak favourites Gem Precious, a dynamic selector who blends tribal, Afro and UK funky with fresh Amapiano sounds across four decks and never fails to pump the dance floor, plus Estonian-born Janika Tenn who blurs the line between several genres on labels like Perfect Havoc and 303Lovers. Add in some special guests including some of the best young and upcoming talent in London and you have another irresistible Sneak soundtrack.
