finetune artist: Roger Sanchez

b. 1 June 1967, Queens, New York City, New York, USA. With countless remixes, productions and releases to his name, Sanchez deserves his reputation as one of the most hard-working and skilled DJ-producers, and received official recognition by being nominated for a 1999 Grammy Award. The son of Dominican immigrants, Sanchez's career began behind the decks while he was studying architecture at the Pratt Institute in New York City and, despite his success in the studio, DJing remains Sanchez's first love. However, his first recorded success was with the single "Luv Dancin'" in 1990, released under the name Underground Solution on the pioneering New York label Strictly Rhythm Records. With it, he established a sound that has become his trademark: a dense, syncopated bassline and simple, contagious melody. One of his first remix projects, "Take Me Back To Love Again" by Kathy Sledge proved that he could handle quite a difficult project, turning the sultry R&B ditty into a full-throttle, gospel-tinged dancefloor stomper. In the early 90s, he became an in-demand remixer and, under the name Roger S, worked on singles by artists such as Juliet Roberts, M People, Brand New Heavies and Michael Jackson ("Don't Stop Till You Get Enough", "Jam", "Dangerous"). Sanchez formed One Records with Eddie Colon in 1992.
