Roger Martinez is leading the new breed of progressive producers as 2008 breaks upon us. With already a top ten bestseller on Beatport, inclusion on Jay Epoch's Particles "Drago" compilation, and a stellar EP on Eelke Kleijn's Outside the Box label, his latest outing is only the next step in establishing himself as a mainstay in the scene.

When "Prime Time" was first heard on Hisham Samawi's guest mix for Jody Wisternoff's Way Out There radio show we were hooked. The Retrospective EP is the resulting project, a 3 track progressive tech house collection destined for greatness.

Look for remixes of this EP later in 2008 alongside Roger's remix of Matt Rowan's "This That and the Other" due out later this quarter.

3. Prime Time (Original Mix)

Fit well into an edgier tech house set quite nicely, and it's a great listen but not necessarily practical to mix with due to it's complexity. Cosmopolite is a great modern groovy house track, a bit of a tech edge to it, but mostl.... 4.5/5 [mike]
