The ROAD Podcast (Reflections of a DJ) is proud to announce a powerful new episode featuring none other than New Jersey house icon, record producer, and DJ, Junior Sanchez. Set to drop this week, the episode delivers a raw and insightful conversation that spans decades of dance music culture, hip hop, and the stories that shaped them both.
In this candid interview, Junior Sanchez opens up about his roots in DJing and graffiti, sharing personal anecdotes that highlight his journey from the streets of New Jersey to international stages. A veteran of the scene, Sanchez reflects on his long-standing friendship with Armand Van Helden, and the pivotal role they played in shaping modern house music.
Listeners will hear Sanchez delve into the once-tight bond between hip hop and house music, a connection he argues has weakened over time, in part due to the homophobia that permeated elements of hip hop culture. It’s a must-hear take on the evolution of two of music’s most influential genres.
From giving advice to Madonna, to discussing the cultural shift sparked by Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack”, Junior drops behind-the-scenes gems about the rise of dance music and its crossover into pop. He also offers rare insights into multi-tracking, including how he gained access to coveted stems, and what that process looks like for a top-tier producer.
The episode is a rich tapestry of music history, street culture, and the unstoppable spirit of one of house music’s most respected voices. Whether you’re a DJ, producer, or just a fan of the craft, this episode is not to be missed.
Tune in to the new episode of ROAD Podcast featuring Junior Sanchez this week on all major streaming platforms.
