Roger Sanchez - The Late Show

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, Underground Solution, The Funkjunkeez, and Transatlantic Soul, just to name a few, Roger has been able to maintain the essence of his sound, his flavor, while still using each alter ego as a tool to expand on various fresh and experimental sounds. ~ Soundcloud
