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.

“Where words fail, music speaks.”

Music has always been a huge part of my life. Being surrounded by commercial music from a very early age (my dad had a mobile disco business), it was only natural that as I grew, so to did my love and appreciation of all different genres of music.

By the time I was 14, id been bought my first set of decks, and this is when I first started to mix. It didn’t just become a hobby to me; it became a way of life. As the years went by, and my confidence grew, I started playing out at friends parties. Hearing all the positive feedback form friends and family, I decided that I would enter a few competitions to see what level I was at. With these competitions resulting in wins, my confidence was at an all time high, and I decided that it was time to show people how serious I was. I did a few sets in various pubs before feeling I was ready to approach Cinnabar with a mix tape I had put together. I was over the moon when this gained me my first resident spot as a working DJ, and Working amongst all of the other great DJ’s working at Cinnabar is only helping me to progress even further. As there is such a variety of music and styles of play, I don’t feel restricted. I like to think outside the box when it comes to music, and am prepared to switch it up at the drop of a hat as I have no preferred genre or rules that I stick to.

“Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.”

In the past i have never been into recording my mixes as it was mostly a hobby to mix, but as now i feel my DJing is evolving as is the technology used to record is more widely available i thought it was time to share my involvement with music with you.... 

As this recording is a whole new thing to me i have uploaded some past bits that were laying around on my laptop from previous attemps and look forward to continue to add fresh mixes to my cloud on a regular from the Start of 2012....
