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.

Niki Belucci is the symbol of beauty, charm, eroticism, freedom, sexuality and energy. Growing up, Niki had a promising background in athletics. She was 15 when, after a serious injury, she had to stop her career in gymnastics. During a period of 10 years; however, she collected 21 gold, 12 silver and 8 bronze medals, as well as 2 trophies as one of the talented gymansts of the Ferencvárosi Gymnastic Club in Budapest. She completed her studies at the Secondary School of Hospitality and Trade but she only worked in her studied profession for a few months. She became a shop assistant in a lingerie store where she got in contact with erotic photography and shootings.



At 19 she spent 6 months shooting, then in 2003 she announced that she was quitting the industry as she wished to make a career of her former hobby, DJ-ing. By then she had been performing in small clubs with her vinyl plates entertaining club goers around the country. In a real professional sense, Niki entered the club life in the fall of 2003. Thanks to her talent and ability to perform well under pressure, she had about 160 performances during her first year in Hungary and in the neighboring countries altogether. More and more new gates opened up to her in the upcoming years mainly Austria, Germany and Russia, while she also continued to perform in her homeland. 


In February of 2007, she was invited to the French DJ convention, „Siel”, the most widely recognized DJ and club exhibition in Paris, and performed in 72 clubs during the same year in France alone.

She went on her first tour to South America in May of 2007, which was quickly followed by an Indonesian tour in June. During this period; however, she also had regular performances in Switzerland, the UK, Italy, Turkey, Norway, and in other countries around Europe.

In June of 2007, Niki was approached by Unlimited Sounds, home of the D.O.N.S and only a short while later her next single and mix compilation was released worldwide, titled Get up. Her hit album was co-produced by D.O.N.S. & DBN, the widely recognized DJ and producer Jerry Ropero and vocals were performed on it by Charles Salter (the voice of Axwell). And Niki’s success story continued...

She was booked by well-known clubs for months in advance and playing worldwide with almost no break, when in September of 2007 she was nominated at the French DJ Awards in „Best Female DJ” category, while her music was played regularly on Radio FG, one of the most popular radio channels in France.

She was signed by CLS Music in February of 2008.

Her first mix compilation, My House Special by Niki Belucci was released in 2009. 
What makes this album very unique is that it contains songs that were turning into hits around the time Niki’s album was about to make its debut. Her wish was to put together a CD that would stay current even in the following spring, hoping to entertain house fans worldwide as long as possible. The years leading up to the successful venture of Niki’s My House Special, she was widely recognized and regularly touring outside of Europe, in South America, the United States, Australia and Asia, taking in the rhythms of international clubs, which had a strong influence on her tracks.

As resident of Radio FG, her mixes continued to be played weekly and were picked up by more and more radio stations all over Europe. 

Niki as a resident DJ has acquired increasing recognition during 2010 and following her previous success in France and Italy, she is asked to become resident at the true home of house music at the Amnesia in Ibiza. With that her new home on Wednesdays is now the party island of the Mediterranean, where she is headed straight from Gabicce, Italy, her other home of the past two years.
