10.4 ROG is the alias of Renton-raised, LA-based producer Roger Habon. As both a solo artist and in-demand collaborator, he's a steady supplier of richly-textured, jazzy, funky beats that sound fresh on their own, and captivating as support for singers and rappers alike. He's previously worked with THEESatisfaction, The Good Sin, NOO, and more, and recently teamed up with Dallas-based experimental R&B artist (Liv).e for the excellent new mini-album ::hoopdreams::. His exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World is a beautiful swim through lush, woozy, groovy jams that touch upon R&B, hip-hop, soul, and psych-pop styles, and it's all smoothly stitched together thanks to Roger's top-notch selections that carry a consistently dreamy, romantic, absorbing sound.
