DJ Roach
DJ Roach is from Southwest Detroit’s Latino community. Born in the 70’s- he always had an ear for music that was influenced by his father, a musician in a band “Conjunto Y Los Magnificos Siete”. Roach began DJing in the late 80’s with his brother at local events in his neighborhood. Inspired by Jeff Mills, aka the Wizard- it was then he knew the musical direction he wanted to pursue. Roach is an all vinyl DJ with skills second to none, playing mostly Detroit Techno tracks with sprinkles of electro, house, and acid tunes to keep the crowd moving and wanting more. Roach is the founder of Tec-Troit Electronic Music festival which is held the 3rd weekend of June. This is a free event that features local talent only, held in Downtown Detroit. Roach got the inspiration to create this festival from DEMF when it was free.
With the support & guidance of Mad Mike Banks, Underground Resistance & Submerge, DJ Roach launched his all vinyl record label in April 2013- Nuestro Futuro Records. Roach’s first EP dropped in November 2013 and "Timeless EP" in 2015 and NFR 3rd EP "Signals" will be out January 2018.
