Roger Cadiz (NL)

Music always has been a big influence in my life. It was a dream to make a living out of music. Later, it became a personel journey in developing myself as a human and as an artist. There are several artists who have a big influence on me, such as: Prince, Bjork, Kate Bush, Mj, Sia, Beatles, Elvis, David Bowie, Counting Crows, Bob Marley, Hendrix, Pharrel, Snoop, Guru, Arrested development, Q-tip, Method Man, John Mayer, John Tejada, Gabriel Ananda, Stimming ,Street artists and many more. In 2002 I started Producing/DJing under the name of Catch-R. This was a periode of searching for my own style, discovering my skills and looking for a direction to go to. 2010 is the year a renewed Roger Cadiz stands up. I have started to do the things that really suit me. Therefore I am very motivated and enthusiastic to bring my new sounds. My background is hiphop and oldskool, so you will hear some of these styles in my later work. This time the pieces of my musical journey are all coming together. I am combining my love for instruments and electronic music. I'm making a lot of styles, trying to make music with no boundries or compensations. It might be a little out of the box, but still approachable. After a period of steady 'clubbing' I have decided to let people feel more great music a DJ can give. My style is often described as surprising, funky, warm and timeless. I am a big fan of minimal, deephouse, hiphop, techno, detroit and everything that brings 'funk' in the housemusic!
