Interview: Roger Sanchez

Wednesday, 24 March 2010 05:16

Just can’t get no release? Then you might want to check in with Roger Sanchez [a] when he throws his Release Yourself party tomorrow at Miami’s Mansion.

Celebrating 10 years of his Ibiza residency, this year’s theme is “The Beginning of a New Era”, and it promises something novel indeed: Sanchez’ seven-hour set will be accompanied by a mindboggling display of 3D visuals.

One tune you’re sure to hear is ‘2Gether’, Sanchez’ new track featuring the Somali-Canadian poet, rapper and musician K’Naan (as well as one cheeky ‘80s sample). It’s out this week on the Stealth WMC Sampler 2010; coming soon are remixes from EDX [a] , Chus [a] , Nick Bridges [a] , Chris Moody [a] and more. Sanchez is also offering an exclusive remix of ‘2Gether’, by Alex Armes [a] and Scott Anselmo [a] , for free download. Just go here to get the goods.
