Recent long hours in the studio developing his very proudly African sound are paying off. His last release ”Cheza” on the worlds biggest dance music label, Defected records went to no 18 on the BBC Buzz Charts and was Roger Sanchez’s pick track of the week for 4 weeks in a row on Kiss fm. The remix he did of “Redd Angel-Fabulous Day” was voted top 10 last season in Ibiza and is the opening track to the world’s biggest ever CD give away.
