Bio: A former student of architecture and a disciple of the legendary Paradise Garage, there came a time, in the late 80s, when he had to choose between a prestigious education at the Pratt Institute and his burgeoning love of house music and club culture. That Roger went on to cement his stellar reputation as a DJ and producer around the world is a testament to his robust belief in the power of music to liberate people, physically and mentally.
With an emphasis on the unique and the upfront, Release Yourself was one of the first dance shows to evolve into a podcast. Indeed, from pimpin’ his mix tapes on Broadway in the 80s to spinning digital video discs as he fronts his all-action live S-Men band in the 00s, Roger has always utilised the technology of his time to connect more deeply with clubbers. Launched in March 2006, the Release Yourself Podcast now has 60,000+ bi-weekly subscribers and even won the Best Podcast category in the 22nd International Dance Music Awards (IDMAs) during WMC 2007. So, finally, let’s return full circle to Release Yourself Volume 6. As a 100 percent pure Release Yourself encounter, its sounds flow seamlessly over two CDs, with a sexy, soul drenched pre-party selection chased up by pounding peak time party programming. And since the Basement Jaxx remixed Release Yo Self (‘back in the day’), it is fitting that their hot new track Cool It kickstarts 2007’s party CD in a big way. This mix houses an array of upfront tracks, including Agent Greg Vs. Audiopunch’s soaring Symphony of Love, The Nightcrawlers’ Push the Feeling On (Belocca's Cheeky Bootleg Mix), and Nick Terranova & Austin Leeds’ Dirty Sound ?(Miami Dirt Mix) – all of which will be forthcoming on Stealth.
