Roger Sanchez got his start DJing in the clubs of New York City during the ’90s, which gave him an up-close view of how audiences reacted to each one of his needle drops. His keen knowledge of what gets crowds moving has made him an in-demand producer and remixer. Sanchez’s solo tracks, such as 2001’s pulsing “Another Chance” and 2006’s cavernous “Lost”, combine the big beats of house music with of-the-moment pop flourishes and wounded romanticism. His remixes, like his dance-floor-ready rework of Ella Henderson’s torchy “Dream On Me”, reveal the club-kid-era DNA that’s still apparent in 21st-century pop.
