While Snips may now be based in NYC, his contributions to London’s musical landscape make him one of the most prominent heads on the scene. As founder of Barbershop Records and legendary London party Livin’ Proof, his legacy is ingrained in the capital’s sound. It’s almost surprising that ‘The Product’ comes as Snips’ first release on Classic Music Company, with his genre-defying style making a perfect fit for the label’s catalogue of evergreen dance music. A groove-heavy bassline and jaunty horns are paired with the vocals of spoken word artist William Stowe, whose mesmerising dialogue of the trials and tribulations of Hackney life give the dance cut a memorable poignancy. The release also features a remix from Italian duo Dirty Channels, who up the ante with a rumbling bass to ready ‘The Product’ for the floor. This fresher than fresh release is a Classic Music Company debut you won’t want to miss.
