Beatportal had the honour of visiting Roger Sanchez’ villa in Ibiza yesterday and hanging out with him in his studio (a forthcoming Beatportal video is coming shortly!).

Halfway through a session demonstration, the power blew in his studio, with a big cracking sound.

“If you’re going to have a studio in Ibiza, you need to be properly prepared for power outages,” explained Roger Sanchez calmly, pointing underneath his studio desk to a large black metal gadget which had ‘Black Sound’ written on it.

“That’s my protection,” he said, “It’s a decent voltage regulator.”

“One time an electrical storm hit Ibiza, and it fried my mixing desk and about $30,000 worth of equipment.

“The insurance company paid for most of it to be replaced, but I was about five grand out of my own pocket.”

Ouch. That’s one big headache no producer wants to deal with.
