Dilemma Podcast 143 Roi from A Coruña (Spain).
ROI is one of the most awake and creative minds in Spain, but also a insatiable producer, if we talk about experimenting with electronics from all levels angles. This is testified to by his Fanzine project, which he co-directs with The Panic Room.And is that, in this electronic principality, where everything is governed by concepts such as purity,elegance and devotion to music, people like ROI are admired, capable of sacrificing his best years for contributing his grain of sand to the cause, training professionals.

As a DJ he manages, without losing sight of his tendency to dance and reflect, to combine, depending on the moment, a multitude of genres with coherence and enjoyment, in parts
equal, until weaving together a story with a beginning, middle and end.

He does not lack notable virtues, but those that should be recognized most are those of perseverance in his musical project and empathy with the public on the track. of the same way, as a producer, he manages to give coherence to a wide amalgam of
influences of several decades, this unique work is very personal, and like few others, it is capable of triggering a feeling that is sometimes disconcerting, familiar and cozy at the same time.

ROI could be defined as a cultural agent, which beyond bringing a breath of air fresh to the dance floors, they tirelessly seek to renew the musical language with ideas bright lights that make that experience magical, unique, but above all, so fun as well as accessible and enriching.
