Since 1996 one name has been synonymous with house music in Cape Town, South Africa and indeed in territories all over the world: Craig De Sousa. A true staple of the beginnings of the genuine house music scene, Craig has enjoyed a career that has seen him tour his homeland extensively and enjoyed sets in countries all over the world. He is regarded as the DJ who ‘wrote the book’ on successful compilation albums and has been the force behind no less than eight of these exhibitions of house music from both local and foreign beat makers. He has enjoyed a close relationship with UK based house music label extraordinaire Drop Music for the best part of a decade and has kicked off one of South Africa’s most reputable House music record labels Heads and Tails Music. Always hungry for a relationship with music that goes beyond merely playing in clubs, Craig’s relationship with events and media has been prolific to say the least. For 5 years Craig and presenting partner Dino Moran sat at the helm of The Night Watchmen on Goodhope FM, which still to this day is regarded as one of the most reliable and professional sources of quality house music ever to have been on SA’s airwaves. Outside of presenting his own show he has enjoyed extensive mileage on air and has frequently appeared on radio stations such as FG Paris (Troublemen), 5FM (Roger Goode “Surgery” & Fresh Ultimix) and Y-FM (G-Forces Y-Ask-Y). He has appeared on television and in the printed media and for 5 years has been the preferred DJ for Cricket SA & the International Cricket Council (ICC). He was involved in the SA Indian Premier League and has entertained crowds at both the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy. As label boss of Heads and Tails Music, Craig has produced countless EP’s and two studio albums for artists signed to his label. He has remixed various artists and toured every corner of his native South Africa as well as doing extensive international showcases. International acts he has supported include Deep Dish, Jeff K & Tim Paris (Silver Network), Cyril K (Dialect), Bruno Banner & DJ Fudge (Troublemen), Andy Riley & Laurence Ritchie (Drop Music), Roberto Mello (Classic), Ralph Lawson & Murray Richardson (2020 Vision), DJ Yellow (Yellow Records), Darshan (Metro Area), Kaskade & Troydon (OM), Sébastien Léger (Mistakes Music), Mark Knight (Toolroom), Giom and many more.

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.
