When he was young Eric Sneo already started learning instruments like drums, piano, and accordion. He continued this way at the conservatory in Mainz (Germany) where he studied keyboards and percussion and practiced pop and jazz. Fascinated by the possibilities of electronic sound synthesis, he began collecting synthesizers by the age of 12.
Inspired by the sets of Sven Väth at the legendary Omen Club in Frankfurt between the years 1992 and 1995, Eric discovered his love for techno and electronic music. With the help of Andy Düx, Eric practiced in the overdrive studios in 1995. At the same time he started studying audio engineering at the SAE Frankfurt.
In 1998 he became a resident dj in one of the most famous techno clubs in Germany the Palazzo. During that time he took full advantage of this opportunity to develop his style and perfect his technique. At the Palazzo, Eric Sneo played together with all the top dj's like Chris Liebing, Rush, Monika Kruse, Jeff Mills, Sven Väth, and Thomas Schumacher. In 2

Around this same time period together with Udo Niebergall, the labels Masters Of Disaster and Beatdisaster were founded. These labels featured releases from Gayle San, The Advent, Chris Liebing, Hertz, Rush and many more and were also a platform for Sneo's own releases. Both labels stand for high quality innovative techno and are successful worldwide.

In addition, Sneo’s remix productions have become very successful and appreciated by Dj's worldwide. He has done remixes for Mauro Picotto, Chris Liebing, Rush, Hertz, Moskwa TV, Venguard and Monika Kruse.
In March 2

The promotion included a worldwide album tour, radio shows and press features in the Raveline. Consistent successful record releases pushed his dj career. With his performance on 3 decks, combined with effects, live robot vocals and live drumming, Eric swiftly developed into a highly requested international player who can be often found 'doing his thing' in countries like Brazil, Venezuela, Spain, England, Hungary, Belgium, France, and Austria to name a few.
