UK based Italian Pagano has a pretty serious CV. Playing a blend of House and Techno with his own reworks of classics, Pagano has crafted a solid niche for himself.

DJ MAG UK said of him “Pagano has emerged as one of Italy's finest DJs. An accomplished hand in the studio and behind the decks... Pagano is no overnight DJ sensation. A keen studier of sound, the man is obsessed with finding obscure gems and unique cuts and layering them together in his own inimitable manner”

Through the years he has collected under his belt a series of high profile DJ residencies including London’s club EGG and the legendary TRADE and has DJed at some of the most renown venues worldwide such as Amnesia, Space Ibiza, Privilege, Ministry Of Sound, Fabric, Stereo, The Brooklyn Mirage, Space (Miami), Razzmatazz, Fuse, Kitkat, Paradiso, Westerunie. This led him to share DJ booths with Nicole Moudaber, Nina Kraviz, Boris from Berghain, Christian Smith, Monika Kruse, Mark Knight, Chus & Ceballos, Kaiserdisco, Coyu, Dennis Ferrer, Horse Meat Disco, David Penn, Joey Negro, Satoshi Tomiie and many others.

As a producer, Pagano has released on many labels worldwide: TRONIC, HILOMATIK, TOOLROOM, UNTIDY, 1605, NERVOUS, DEEPERFECT, UNITY, BITTEN, STEREO / IBERICAN, PACHA, MINISTRY OF SOUND and others. In 2015 Pagano launched his own independent label KISM Recordings. During his career he has produced official remixes of tracks from Yoko Ono (aka ONO), Danny Tenaglia, Billie Ray Martin, Mauro Picotto, Robin S, De'lacy, Kathy Brown and others. 

His productions have been supported during their DJ sets or Radio Shows by a variety of DJs including CARL COX, ADAM BEYER, UMEK, DANNY TENAGLIA, NICOLE MOUDABER, PACO OSUNA, MARK KNIGHT, CHUS & CEBALLOS, ROGER SANCHEZ, SKREAM, TENSNAKE, FORMAT:B, TIESTO, PAUL VAN DYK, DAVID GUETTA, BOB SINCLAR and many others. They've reached the Top 10 of dance charts in UK, USA, Germany, Italy including Billboard, DMC, Buzz charts, Cool Cuts and have been played in dance music programmes of many radios including BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM. They've stormed the sales charts in all the major digital music stores worldwide.

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.
