Fold

English-born and Yorkshire-based DJ and producer Fold is known for his deep, jazz-infused house grooves and meticulous sampling. Influenced by the golden era of New York house, Detroit techno, and UK soundsystem culture, Fold (real name: Dan Snaith) cut his teeth on London’s dancefloors before relocating north for increased creative freedom. Emerging in the 2010s with acclaimed releases on labels like Aus Music and Shall Not Fade, Fold quickly earned a reputation for swinging, expertly crafted cuts—often built around rare funk, soul, and disco samples.

His “House Classics” residency at London’s The Pickle Factory drew crowds with genre-blurring sets and crate-digging curiosity, while international gigs from Berlin’s Panorama Bar to Croatia’s Love International Festival solidified his selector credentials. In the studio, he balances club functionality with lush musicality, collaborating with vocalists and live musicians for ever-evolving interpretations of the dancefloor experience. Fold’s projects have won praise from outlets like Resident Advisor and Mixmag and regular support from selectors such as Ben UFO, Hunee, and Midland.

With a steady output of releases, remixes, and mixes, Fold remains a vital curator and innovator, bridging classic influences with future-facing sounds.
