Roger Sanchez - Choice (Unmixed DJ Format) (2007)

*Choice (Unmixed DJ Format)* (2007) by Roger Sanchez is a diverse and meticulously curated double‑CD compilation released on the influential **Azuli Records** label as part of their long‑running “Choice” series. Curated and mixed by acclaimed DJ and producer Roger Sanchez — also known as “The S‑Man” — this unmixed format showcases his deep appreciation for the roots of dance music and his seamless blending of styles across genres such as house, acid house, afrobeat, disco, deep house, techno, and funk.

Rather than being a single continuous DJ mix, this unmixed edition presents each track in full, making it ideal for DJs and listeners alike to enjoy individual edits and classic cuts with clarity and precision. The compilation includes carefully selected tracks and edits that span decades and influences — from the afrobeat rhythms of Fela Kuti and the underground house grooves of Mr. Fingers, to classic disco and funk edits that reflect Sanchez’s broad musical taste and history in the dance music scene.

*Choice (Unmixed DJ Format)* highlights Sanchez’s ability to blend eclectic sounds into a cohesive listening experience, balancing rhythmic energy with soulful and melodic elements. This release is a celebration of both club culture history and the timeless appeal of genre‑defying dance music, making it a must‑have for enthusiasts of high‑quality, diverse compilations.
