first of all congratulations with the birth of your daughter. did it have a positive effect on your new compilation release yourself 6? |
|
|
roger sanchez: |
soleil being born has had an amazing impact on my life. in my opinion, this years party cd has a happy but edgy feel to it, just like my daughter. |

this is the 6th volume already, and as you know electronic dance music is always in motion. what according to you has been the biggest change in dance music over the past six years?
|
|
|
roger sanchez: |
wow! there have been so many changes. well the technology explosion has made producers chop their studios in half, djs are leaving the crates of vinyl behind and picking up cd books, and new dance music is being released daily. dance music today is moving at light speed. everything has changed in distribution, retail and promotions thanks to the web. |

|
|

this year has already been very successful for you; winning the imda best podcast award for release yourself! how do you keep the release yourself podcast fresh and exciting? |
|
|

also, the release yourself radio show has a huge audience with over 20 radiostations broadcasting it. with the ‘digital revolution’ going on, do you think there is still a future for conventional radio? |
|
|
roger sanchez: |
absolutely! as long as government exists, conventional radio will always have its place in society but the next revolution in broadcasting is in satellite radio. it’s my dream to have my own channel on a satellite network. |

whilst surfing on the internet we had the time to look at your websites. you have a lot of friends on your myspace account don’t you? how many? do you have time to respond to all the messages, request and comments? |
|
|
roger sanchez: |
i’m not really sure since i don’t have an opportunity to check it every day. i wish i had more time to respond to them but i appreciate every person that has reached out to me. how many friends? think it has exceeded the 30.000 mark but who’s counting anyways. every one is my friend lol. |

you are known to be a very creative individual and this has always been reflected in the ry cd’s artwork. what is the look and feel for the compilaton release yourself 6? |
|
|
roger sanchez: |
there are some really nice textures and layers in this years artwork. there’s lots of blending going on. i’m featuring a zodiac theme this year so i like for the graphics to have a natural look. |

stealth records is still releasing vinyl, how long do you think vinyl will be available for in the future? |
|
|
roger sanchez: |
i love vinyl and i will always be releasing it, not in large quantities. i think vinyl will be around for many years to come, but the digital revolution is here and the turntables are officially packed away. |
