Snuffo 'Poetic Gaze' release card: the album sleeve centred on a pale lime background inside a dark green panel. The sleeve is a painted portrait of a person with long hair sitting on a pink couch, worked in greens and yellows. SNUFFO is set above the sleeve and POETIC GAZE below it, both in yellow capitals.

Snuffo is Benedikt Schmidt. He is half of the acid house duo Snuff Crew, alongside Stefan Gubatz, and the pair founded the Snuff Trax label in 2010. Snuff Trax has a sister imprint called In The Dark Again, which gave us a premiere in September 2026: Sebastian Swarm's 'Tomb of Ligeia'.
