Roger Sanchez

Roger René Sánchez emerges from Queens, New York, born June 1, 1967, establishing himself in the city's underground house scene during the late 1980s. He operates under multiple aliases including The Deep, The Funkjunkeez, and Niceguy Soulman, gaining early recognition through remix work and club performances that secured international bookings by the early 1990s. In 1991, he founded management company Indeep Productions, followed by launching label Narcotic in 1994 alongside manager Marts Andrups.

His sound spans house, tech house, and deep house territories, releasing across labels including Strictly Rhythm, Stealth Records, The Vault, Virgin, and UNDR THE RADR. Sanchez delivers groove-focused productions that maintain dancefloor functionality while incorporating both classic house elements and contemporary tech house sensibilities. His catalog demonstrates consistent output from 2016 through 2025, with 15 releases on Electrobuzz showcasing his ability to adapt his New York house foundation to current club demands without abandoning the rhythmic foundation that established his reputation.
