For any DJ and bedroom producer, the ability to “hustle” is often the most underestimated, yet most important factor in determining whether they will fade out or successfully make their mark on the industry. Good hustle is the epitome of both the man and monumental career of international DJ, Roger Sanchez. From humble beginnings in New York City, diggin’ in dusty crates of old vinyl and spinning at house parties in Corona, Queens, to dominating huge dance floors and headlining festival main-stages in every corner of the globe, Roger is truly a self-made man and a house music legend.

The crafting of Roger Sanchez, the DJ, started in the late 80s, where as a young man he was enticed by the explosion of hip-hop that was taking over the city. Embracing the culture as a b-boy and graffiti artist, he would hit parties on the Bronx River and before long, his friends had him trying his hand on the wheels of steel. In a time and place where hip hop, house music, and “turntablism” all collided in a perfect storm of creativity, opportunity, and sick beats, Roger seized his moment and began to build his empire on vinyl and slip mats, starting with a few singles and expanding into a massive collection of over two thousand original productions and remixes.
Releasing music under a multitude of monikers, including the S-Man, Roger S., The Nu- Solution, Underground Solution, DV8, Ego Trip, El Mariachi, The Funkjunkeez, Tribal Infusion, Twilight, and Transatlantic Soul, just to name a few, Roger has been able to maintain the essence of his sound, his flavor, his “sabor”, if you will, while still using each alter ego as a tool to expand on various fresh and experimental sounds. Each one of his multiple music personas have allowed him the opportunity to defy the mainstream and travel out to the far reaches of the musical galaxy, collecting depth, wisdom, and perspective along the way and applying them to his future endeavors in innovative dance music sounds, allowing him to remain fluid and cutting edge across decades.

So many successful endeavors would have never been possible without a rock solid work ethic, something that Roger prides himself on. From the very beginning, he was a dedicated crate digger, searching for obscure samples and break beats in influential NYC record stores like Rock & Soul and Vinylmania. His infallible work ethic, paired with the strong foundation of art and culture that he gained from the Pratt Institute’s School of Architecture took control of the wheel as his passion for music expanded, driving him to start hustling mixtapes on the sidewalks of Broadway in order to finance his earliest gigs. With the encouragement of his father, an engineer, Roger abandoned his plans for a career in architecture and decided to devote all his efforts to his music.

Anghelo Haya, enamorado y atraído por el arte de la música,  comenzó a interesarse por ella a la temprana edad de 10 años inscribiéndose en el conservatorio de su pueblo natal (Mislata - Valencia).

Comenzó a interesarse por instrumentos de viento, así como son: la trompeta y el trombón de varas; aunque al final se decantó por instrumentos de cuerda como el piano para seguir creciendo y aprendiendo musicalmente.
Conforme se hizo mas mayor, descubrió el mundo "Dj" y dejó a un lado el conservatorio y la música clásica, para poco a poco ir introduciéndose en otros estilos como la electrónica.  

Como Dj comenzó a los 16 años, colaborando en distintas emisoras de radio y actuando en varios afters y clubs de su ciudad natal, para posteriormente acabar pisando Ibiza y actuar por varios locales en 2009.

En el año 2011, no contento con ello, tubo la sensación que le faltaba algo, así que comenzó con la "producción musical" sentía que debía hacer su propia música y descargar todos sus sentimientos en ella, ya que para el la música es un gran abanico cargado de sensaciones y sentimientos llenos de magia y buenas vibraciones las cuales te pueden hacer bailar, sentir, llorar, perdonar y un largo et... independientemente del estilo musical que se abarque.

Nunca a tenido un estilo muy definido a la hora de crear o actuar en la pista de baile, ya que juega con algunos sonidos como son: "Techno", "Minimal","Electro" y por otra parte "Deep", "House", "Prog-House" y "Tech", aunque cabe destacar que es cierto que se decanta más por todo lo que tiene que ver con el "Techno". 

Lo hemos podido escuchar en sus actuaciones comenzando por un house contundente y a la vez elegante para acabar introduciendo poco a poco otros estilos más fuertes haciéndonos bailar progresivamente. 

Actualmente a comenzado a distribuir su música y continúa produciendo en su estudio los diferentes estilos ya mencionados antes con el único afán de poder llegar a los corazones de las personas.
