Azuli presents Choice: Roger Sanchez

The unstoppable Choice series cements itself in the heart of music lovers once again, as house aficionado Roger Sanchez pays homage to his musical roots with this exceptional collection of tracks.

With the "Choice" series being compiled by some of the biggest DJs and producers of our time - it was long overdue that an icon like Roger Sanchez should be persuaded to share his classics. “We thought Roger was perfect for the series, not only does he have a real history with the scene – he also has a broad appeal as a DJ and his current musical tastes are also really interesting”, Azuli Head Honcho comments.

The "S" man has created a double CD filled with funk, jazz, italo disco, salsa, electro, deep and twisted house and more. It showcases seminal tunes and highlights gems that have influenced countless tracks and artists in the years that followed their release.

“I feel honoured to have been asked and it has been a pleasure putting it together. I am at a point now that I can look back on how the dance scene has grown and put the development of my career right next to it. It's nice to go back and underline what started it all.“ - Roger Sanchez

With no fewer than 6 exclusive re-edits by Roger, it makes for a very distinguished twelfth release in this stellar series. CD1 is a lounging, sprawling mix filled with 70's warmth, featuring the underground disco vibe of Two Man Sounds ‘Que Tal America’ and Lafayette Afro Rock ‘Darkest Light’ which is undoubtedly funk in its best form. CD2 includes the acid anthem ‘Night Moves’ by Rikster and the gritty synth techno quality of Steve’ Poindexter’s ‘Computer Madness’ among many others.

"Choice: Roger Sanchez" will be released on January 29, 2007 on Azuli.
