Dance music in 2011 is about one word – BIG. The tracks and remixes are big, the new breed of big room DJs are akin to demigods and live events have reached a scale never before seen. However the global sensation and penetration of dance music into top 40 radio would not have been possible without a foundation built by David Morales – one of the first true superstar DJs.

A native New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent, David Morales grew up during dance music’s most influential era and frequented its legendary clubs. While the music in such famed establishments as the Loft and the Paradise Garage was inspiring and new, there was also a large social element to what made these clubs unique. There were few clubs in New York City in the 1970’s and 1980’s that catered to everyone – black, white, Hispanic, gay – but The Loft and Paradise Garage welcomed everyone with open arms. These clubs represented the only places where you could truly “let go” and “be yourself” during a racially tense period in the city’s history. At the controls in the clubs, the DJ, who was more of an educator and less someone who came to play the hits as is prevalent in today’s scene. “The entire concept of DJing has changed so much over the years. Back in the day, the DJ was not the focal point.

World renowned, Grammy Award winning Superstar DJ and party icon Roger Sanchez is enjoying an unprecedented year and celebrating a tremendous decade.  Fresh off his incredible Amnesia residency, Roger takes only a minute to reflect on the epic summer of unforgettable parties, and good times had in Ibiza.  With the Roger’s upcoming plans, he is making a valid claim to quite possibly be the “hardest working man in house music”.  After tremendous remixes of Maroon 5 and Brandon Flowers- Roger is quickly becoming the go-to DJ for pop/house hits!   The S-Man as well looks forward to putting out the upcoming Release Yourself 10 compilation. 

Roger states that “10 years of Release Yourself has made me fall in love with House Music even deeper. The 10^th Anniversary is a reflection of my continuing love affair with what i call house music and its explosive effect on my dance floor.”
