Dutch DJ and producer Roger Martinez steps in for the latest edition of the Electronic Groove Records mix series, delivering a deep and carefully crafted session that reflects the musical vision he has refined across years of DJing and production.
Raised in Amsterdam during the late nineties and early two thousands, Martinez came of age surrounded by a powerful club culture. Influences from artists such as Sasha, John Digweed, Carl Cox, Secret Cinema, Remy, Dimitri, and Marcello helped shape a musical approach rooted in patience, groove, and long form storytelling.
That philosophy has carried through both his DJ sets and studio work. Known for extended performances that unfold slowly and deliberately, Martinez focuses on building atmosphere and movement over time. His four deck mixing style allows him to layer multiple elements at once, guiding listeners through deep house, progressive tones, and melodic passages that develop naturally across the course of a set.
In the studio, Martinez has built an extensive catalog that spans labels such as Lost and Found, Sudbeat, Anjunadeep, UV, Plattenbank, Mango Alley, Tronic, and GEM Records. His relationship with Electronic Groove Records also dates back several years with the 2018 release “Pied Piper,” a collaboration with Freedo Mosho that remains part of the label’s catalog.
For this Electronic Groove Records session, Martinez delivers a journey that reflects the essence of his approach. The mix moves patiently between atmospheric textures, hypnotic grooves, and melodic moments, creating a flow that rewards careful listening while remaining firmly connected to the dance floor.
