BIOGRAPHY
ROLAND ROCHA AKA ROLANDO WAS BORN IN 1970'S SOUTHWEST DETROIT. HE GREW UP IN THE MAINLY HISPANIC DISTRICT OF THE CITY, WHICH TO THIS DAY IS DOMINATED BY MEXICAN MIGRANTS LOOKING FOR WORK IN THE HEAVILY INDUSTRIAL CITY.

FROM AN EARLY AGE HE WAS INFLUENCED BY HIS MUSICAL CULTURE WITH IT'S ROOTS IN LATIN AMERICAN RHYTHMS AND PERCUSSION. HE WAS GREATLY ENCOURAGED BY HIS ENTHUSISATIC FATHER, ALSO A WELL KNOWN LOCAL MUSICIAN AND AS A YOUNG TEENAGER HE PURSUED HIS OWN INTEREST IN MUSIC AND BECAME A WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED DJ WITHIN HIS OWN RIGHT.

IT WAS IN THE MID EIGHTIES THAT HE WAS SO INSPIRED WHEN HE HEARD JEFF MILLS SPIN (AT THE TIME HE WAS KNOWN AS "THE WIZARD") THAT HE QUICKLY UNEARTHED THE NEW RADICAL AND GROUND BREAKING SOUNDS OF TECHNO. THEN BY CHANCE, THROUGH A MUTUAL FRIEND RUBEN GONZALEZ, HE WAS INTRODUCED TO THE FORMIDABLE "MAD"MIKE BANKS AND WAS PROMPTLY (TO HIS DELIGHT) ASKED TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE INFAMOUS AND ENIGMATIC UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE CREW.

SOON AFTERWARDS CAME HIS FIRST EVER OPPORTUNITY TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC AND WOW AUDIENCES WORLDWIDE WITH HIS MILD MANNER AND NOW INFAMOUS SPEEDY TURNTABLE PROFICIENCY; SKILLFULLY MEANDERING FROM FUNKY HOUSE, GUT VIBRATING ELECTRO, THE GREAT TECHNO CLASSICS AND NEW SOULFUL MELODIC TECHNO - EARNING HIM RESPECT AND NOTORIETY WITHIN THE INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE.

JAGUAR BROKE THE ICE CRITICALLY ALTHOUGH NOT ROLANDO'S FIRST RELEASE ON UR, IT TURNED ARCHAIC PERCEPTIONS OF TECHNO ON THEIR HEAD. IT BROKE THROUGH INTO ALL OTHER GENRES OF DANCE MUSIC AND BECAME A CLASSIC IN THE BOXES OF MANY NOTEWORTHY DJ'S; SUCH AS KEVORKIAN, GARNIER, MORILLO, TENAGLIA - EVEN OAKENFOLD AND GILES PETERSON.

THE HEADLINING ENSUING BATTLE AGAINST CORPORATE GOLIATH'S SONY, WAS EVENTUALLY WON (EVEN IF ONLY MORALLY ) BY THE SHEAR DETERMINATION OF THE SMALL INDEPENDENT LABEL (UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE) AND WITH THE STEADFAST SUPPORT OF ANGRY ACTIVIST FANS WORLWIDE; PROVING THEMSELVES ONCE AGAIN TO BE A MUCH LOVED AND RESPECTED FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.

THEN ROLANDO LAUNCHED HIS OWN LABEL "LOS HERMANOS" WITH PARTNERS GERALD MITCHELL AND MIKE BANKS . ALREADY THE LABEL HAS A NUMBER OF MUCH ACCLAIMED RELEASES UNDER IT'S BELT WITH ROLANDO IT'S AMBASSADOR AT IT'S FOREFRONT.

NOW, ROLANDO IS FREE - NO LONGER A MEMBER OF UR HE CONTINUES SOLO, AS A DJ, PRODUCER AND REMIXER ENTERING AN EXCITING AND NEW PHASE IN HIS ALMOST 20YR LONG CAREER.

joku kysy multa tos eilen et tuleekohan tänne jengiä ja tunnetaanko UR/ Rolando suomessa. totesin vaan et nykyään ei osaa sanoa, mut jos tääl ei oo stadin/suomen detroit house fanit jolla ei muuten esteitä ole niin seuraavassa FBIssa on Eppu Normaali, jonka ainakin kaikki tietää:)

eli spread the word, kerrankin voi sanoa hyvällä oma tunnolla et nyt kantsii tulla mestoille jos maistuu rehellinen tekno house meno...
