5 Thumpin' Tracks From Roger Sanchez’s UNDR THE RADR

When the name UNDR THE RADR appears in Dance Music circles, crowd-moving underground sounds are sure to follow. The label, started by long-time industry trailblazer, Roger Sanchez, was first launched in 2014 and has since released more than 230 of the scene’s most exciting underground tracks.

Sanchez once shared in an interview, “There has been so much crossover in the explosion of electronic dance music, and with mass appeal, things often get diluted. I think the integrity and vibrancy of dance music’s underground legacy, both sonically and lyrically, are essential to keep moving to that new thing.”

That dedication to preserving dance music’s boundary-pushing origins has played an undeniable role in the continued expansion of new sounds in an increasingly trend-oriented market.

As purveyors of a united international dance music community, we felt it only right to highlight the label committed to sharing the explorative themes that permeate the underground regardless of sub-genre lines. Check out five of our favorite UNDR THE RADR tracks below.
