Release Yourself #1215 - Roger Sanchez Live In The Mix from Masada, Chicago

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.

Just Jason aka Jason Steven a Miami based Promoter/Dj/Producer from Boston with a 30+ year journey through the House & Hip Hop Cultures.  One part of the trio On & On (Dj Vito Ferrara & Vin Spinelli), Jason has made it a point to keep finding new ways to reinvent himself and stay relevant in todays high demand world of music.  


Born in Lowell Massachusetts, he was raised in foster care and dealt with significant losses in his life but always had music to turn too.  Spinning records at the age of 8, listening to classic rock, disco, Hip Hop, Pop, Rock, Grunge, Country and of course, House Music - he was hooked.  

Growing up with a heavy dose of Bam Bam, Frankie Knuckles, Kevin Sanderson, Nicky Siano, Dj Irene, DJ Rap, Tiesto, Dj Serg @ Bananas Record Shop are the DJ’s that help spark his passion for House Music. He also has a great deal of love for Hip Hop growing up in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s, it was the perfect storm of musical talent and will forever be marked as some of the most important and iconic eras in music.  

Influenced by artists like The Doors, Depeche Mode, U2, Marky Mark, Big L, Nas, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, KRS One, Lady of Rage, Yo Yo, Ice Cube, A Tribe Called Quest, Bustah Rhymes, Louie Vega, Madonna, George Michael, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Idol, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, The Temptations, Motown as a whole, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, EPMD, Run DMC, Fat Boys, Redman, Tiesto, Tall Paul, Danny Tenaglia, Louie Vega, Victor Calderone, New Edition, New Kids on the Block, Joey Crack, Illegal, 2Pac, Heavy D, Queen Latifah, Souls of Mischief, Moby, Bad Boy Bill, DJ Rap, NWA, Ice T, Kid Frost, Das EFX, Big Daddy Kane, Nicole Moudober, Essel, Mark Knight, Oscar G, Camelphat, Sam Devine, Deep Dish, Nervous Records, Toolroom, Defected, Strictly Rhythm, Solomon, Roger Sanchez , Armand Van Helden ….the list goes On & On :). Infinite! 

Around the age of 18, Jason’s very first after hours nightclub experience was seeing his favorite and Boston local DJ Armand Van Helden at the Loft in Bostons early House Scene. It was easy to see why his passion for the music was so strong and powerful. Bostons club scene was engulfed with an important history of House Music with clubs like Avalon, Roxy, Rise, Axis, Pulse (RI), Venu, Tilt, Bahama Beach Club, Industry (Manchester NH), Underbar, Royale, Therapy and many others.  

Jason established himself as a prominent Promoter in Boston establishing 2 of the longest running House Nights in Boston at Underbar & Bijou bringing to Boston some of the biggest names in the industry. 

During the COVID lockdowns, Jason started his transition to producing and DJing as a natural evolution to his own personal goals. Although he loves being a Promoter, it was time to start working towards his own personal ambitions rather than focusing on other artists (but always supporting).

Just Jason could not have done any of this without having amazing friends and having artists & DJ’s that inspired him throughout his life.
