Roger Sanchez

Roger Sanchez has always operated several miles ahead of his dance music colleagues. Sanchez’ front-running position in the club community comes from an innate talent and taste for creative exploration.

From the beginning of his career, he has consistently strived to redefine the boundaries of underground house music, beginning in 1990 under the moniker Underground Solution with the single “Luv Dancin.” With that now classic single, Sanchez proved that the texture of a thick syncopated baseline, and a simple but contagious melody, could rise above the confines of a small venue into mainstream consciousness and on to crossover radio airwaves.

The track was eventually re-recorded with the haughty and seductive delivery of newcomer Jasmine, further expanding its already ardent international audience and providing a glimpse into Sanchez’ creative grasp.“I’ll never forget hearing, that record played in a club for the first time,” says Sanchez. “Watching people react to it was a revelation. I knew this record was different from anything l had worked on and it was just the beginning. ” From that point he rose to the top of the major label remix league, adding his magic touch to a broad selection of today’ greatest artists. A worldwide No. 1 smash, “Take Me Back To Love Again” led to post-production of Sledge’ next single “Heart.”Along the way, Sanchez further developed his unique and highly musical image within clubland with a foray into the world of independent label ownership. In 1992, he formed One Records, an outlet that earned a sole reputation for it’ cutting edge releases by Sanchez and a host of other underground luminaries. Last year came Narcotic Records.
