On December 7th, we’re proud to host veteran artist Roger Sanchez at The Roof of Superior Ingredients. For DJs and bedroom producers, the ability to hustle is often the most underestimated yet crucial factor in determining success. International DJ Roger Sanchez epitomizes this hustle. From humble beginnings in New York City, digging through old vinyl and spinning at house parties in Queens, to dominating dance floors and headlining festivals worldwide, Roger's journey is inspiring.

Roger's career began in the late 80s amidst the explosion of Hip-Hop in New York City. Embracing the culture as a b-boy and graffiti artist, he eventually transitioned to DJing, enthralled by the exquisite blend of Hip-Hop, House Music, and turntablism. In 2001, he achieved mainstream success with "Another Chance," which has since amassed over 35 million streams.

Throughout his career, Roger has remixed for artists like Michael Jackson, The Police, Diana Ross, Jamiroquai, Maroon 5, and No Doubt, winning a Grammy in 2003 for Best Remixed Recording. He was also a podcasting pioneer, winning the first-ever Best Podcast Award at the International Dance Music Awards in 2007. His radio show and podcast, Release Yourself, attracts over 20 million listeners globally.

Roger has released music on influential labels like Strictly Rhythm, One Records, and Defected, while also supporting new artists through his labels Stealth and UNDR THE RADR. Known for his busy touring schedule and unmatched skill on the decks, he has held residencies in Ibiza and performed at renowned venues and festivals worldwide, including Hidden Festival, Glitterbox, Defected Ushuaïa, Daft Funk Liverpool, Magic Break, and many more.

Roger has returned to the studio, focusing on creativity with hits like "Dream on Me" with Ella Henderson. He celebrated the 20th anniversary of "Another Chance" with a re-release and a remix by Oliver Heldens, followed by an extensive UK and European tour. He oversaw an all-star remix package of his catalog, featuring artists like Josh Butler and ATrak. The following year, he released the single "Keep it Movin'" with Katy Alex and remixed Betoko's "Raining Again," continuing his impressive global tour.

Despite his achievements, Roger remains humble and true to his roots, embodying the spirit of never losing sight of where he began.

Doubleheader

Gray Area is pioneering the "Doubleheader" event series, drawing inspiration from back-to-back baseball games to showcase artists with similar styles but unique fan bases. By having one artist follow another and culminating in a collaborative back-to-back (B2B) set, Doubleheader aims to create a powerful platform for musical discovery and cross-pollination. Embracing the "B2B" spirit, the initiative seeks to introduce audiences to new sounds while strengthening the dance music ecosystem.

Gray Area's new venture, "Debut," aims to bridge the international house music community by bringing established and emerging artists to cities they've never performed in. This initiative seeks to expand artists' fan bases and provide fans with fresh, exhilarating musical experiences. Having played a role in introducing major artists and brands like elrow and Awakenings to new audiences in the past, Gray Area believes in the magic of first-time experiences. By promoting artists in new venues and cities, they hope to cultivate a thriving, unified house music ecosystem. Debut is not merely a marketing strategy but embodies Gray Area's commitment to fostering collaboration, unity, and musical discovery.
