The Clint Lee sound channels generations of collective energy from the soil of every place he’s set foot. Born in South Africa and based in Ibiza, he curates unforgettable moments where the ancient past and distant future meet as one.

This is no accident. Clint treats music as a practice, setting his intention before each studio session or DJ set. His worldly rhythms have captivated audiences on White Isle dance floors such as Ushuaïa, Privilege, Heart, Club Chinois, Beachouse Ibiza, and Blue Marlin Ibiza. In truth, though, he’s a global citizen. Common ground manifests anyplace his path may lead.

Clint Lee’s penchant for organic percussion is rooted in the East Coast of South Africa, where he came up and learned to play records. When he turned 20, he moved to the UK to work closely alongside his brother, who was also a DJ. Performing at historic London clubs like The End, Turnmills, The Cross and Canvas steered his early sound in a hard and hedonistic direction.

That all changed when he first visited Ibiza in 2006. Clint was instantly drawn to the White Isle’s simple way of life as it struck a chord with his South African upbringing. He set out to capture this familiar warmth and bring it back with him to London. These efforts materialized as partnerships on UK events with Ibiza institutions such as Luciano & Friends, Cadenza, Amnesia and Circoloco.

By 2008, Clint Lee started splitting his time between Ibiza and London. Each visit to the island propelled him further on an inward journey that helped him shed the excesses of clubland and return to his source. This also signaled a shift in his music. In true Balearic fashion, his DJ sets began to marry rich instrumentals and folk music from many cultures. The resulting sound was a borderless sonic melting pot further ignited by visits to clubs throughout Asia, South America, and Europe.

Ibiza welcomed Clint Lee with open arms once he obtained his Spanish residency in 2017, and perhaps even more so lately. Over the course of two summers he performed regularly at the Saga parties headlined by Bedouin along with a decorated roster of special guests.

2022 saw him perform quite often at the newly opened Club Chinois, notably for Ida Engberg’s Una gatherings, Themba’s Colours series, and as the closer for Satori’s A Starry Night events. As a grand finale, he played alongside Luciano at two season closing parties: one at Chinois and the other at Beachouse Ibiza.

As 2023 lineups dropped, Clint’s name grew even more ubiquitous on the White Isle. Not only did longtime progressive house staple Renaissance tap him for shows at Club Chinois, but Ritual has included him for NIIWA, their first in-house nights at the club in which classic Chinese decor meets with futuristic themes. Akasha at Las Dalias has also played host to his signature fusion of organic and electronic sounds.

Clint Lee has doubled down on music production in recent years. His eclectic yet cohesive style of dance music borrows not only from his African roots, but also the hand drums of the Amazon, Middle Eastern harmonic scales, and even the rustic twang of North American deserts. All throughout, the message is the same. His dance floor is a place of unity, one where people from all walks can come together.

The boom of a warm and welcoming bass line beckons as you make your way through the crowd. Clint smiles knowingly on the opposite side of the decks — he’s as lost in the moment as everyone else. It goes deeper than the songs he selects, or even their drumlines and melodies and how they’re arranged. What resonates in the frequencies radiating outward from where he stands is universal. It’s undeniable.

Everything has led up to this point for DJ and producer Clint Lee. What comes next is untold. As far as he’s concerned, the present is all that exists.

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.
