Biography The most skilled artists always have the ability to sense the anticipation and feelings of their audience. They go along and ride the musical palette like a surfer rides the waves of the ocean. It is precisely this skill that Roger Martinez has been praised for numerous times. He is a member of the GEM Records family, but limits himself in no way to any genre or movement dominating dance music. Roger draws inspiration from anything between intense mountain treks, shamanic ceremonies and edgy pop music. In keeping an open mind towards the music he makes, he is known for his surprising and hard to label productions that stand out in sets of DJ’s from all over the EDM spectrum. Roger views a club night performance as an archaic ceremony where people gather and have profound experiences through repetitive music and dance. Via keen use of narrative and melody in his sets, he is able to seduce his audiences into joining him on vast sonic journeys, culminating in a unifying experience he always tries to communicate through the music. To him dance music is as much an art form as for instance painting and therefore he always seeks to keep an artistic touch in the tried and trodden landscape of the age old and entrancing 4x4 rhythm. More evidence of his broad interest in sound is his Ambient project called “Horizontal Excursions”. Under this guise Martinez explores immense worlds of sonic emotions. Going full circle in the audio realm, he also occasionally designs sound installations and takes part in interdisciplinary art projects.
