Few Milestones

Rolando grew up in south west Detroit, a Hispanic district, he was heavily influenced by his cultural Latin rhythms and percussion. Inspired from an early age by his musician father, he pursued his own interest in music.

It was later when he heard Jeff Mills in 1985 as “The Wizard” that he discovered the innovative sounds of Techno.

In 1994, through a mutual friend he was introduced to Mike Banks and joined Underground Resistance.

Five years later, Rolando released his “Knights Of The Jaguar EP”, on Underground Resistance. It became a classic in the boxes of DJs such as Tenaglia, Morillo, Oakenfold, and Gilles Peterson.

In 2004, he left both Underground Resistance and his Los Hermanos project behind.

Ten years later, he launched his own label R3 (Roland Rocha Records), and released exclusively his own music on his label.

Rolando now a Dj for almost thirty years continues to work internationally and continues to hold a residency at the notorious and enigmatic Berlin club Berghain.
