Profile
Snake's Music was a well known Polish record company that roots back to the early 90s. The company was founded in 1992 and based in Sosnowiec on the initiative of the future president, Dariusz Wąż and Artur Kubica. Other members of the Snake's Music team were; artist (responsible for music selection published on a various compilations), artist and Gayga vel artist.
The company licenced, released and distributed mainly Italo / Dance / Pop compilations and albums. They acquired an exclusive licence (from Discomagic, Italy) to distribute Euro Dance styles across Poland. It has to be mention that not many record companies, located in Poland, were interested to promote these styles at that time. Snake's Music played a very important role in this regard.
A huge success was gained by the company, mainly due to its cassette distribution with Dance music, especially various compilations (this was the time when CD players were hardly available in Poland). The CD compilations were also released, but in much fewer quantities. At this time, the CD was still an "exclusive" format/media in Poland.
Between 1992 and 1994 Snake's Music released mainly music cassettes and CDs for retail sale. Some releases were also, exclusively, sent to radio stations prior to the official release.
In 1994, the company decided to release music on vinyl format. Series "Hot Dance Edition - Special DJ Edition" (label) was aimed towards radio and club DJs actively promoting and playing Dance music.
In October 1994 Snake's Music started releasing label series that continued until May 1997. The series was compiled by artist. A DJ located in Tczew, Poland.
Looking back in time, it has to be admitted that these compilations make a huge impression due to the track selection. On many occasions, some remixes or extended versions were only available on Snake's CDs, with a master copy that has never been released elsewhere.
The compilation came out in two formats, as a CD and an MC (music cassette) and is highly collectible in Poland 'till today.
In 1995 Snake's Music adds a Maxi CD single to their catalogue. Also, this is the year when company focus more on Dance music producers from Poland. A big success was gain with series.
