b'Rolando Ray Rocha - @rolando000 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 and became well known and respected within the community. It was later when he heard @axis-jeff-mills in 1985 as "The Wizard" that he discovered the innovative sounds of Techno. Through a mutual friend he was introduced to Mike Banks and joined Underground Resistance in 1994.\\nIn 1999 \'Jaguar\' although not Rolando\'s first release on UR turned perceptions of Techno on their head, breaking into other genres of dance music and becoming a classic in the boxes of DJs such as @danny-tenaglia-officia, @carl-cox, @pauloakenfold, and @gillespeterson. The track has a long legacy of reworking and lives on fifteen years later inspiring audiences from all genres.\\nAs of November 2004, Rolando left both Underground Resistance and his Los Hermanos project behind.\\n2014 Rolando has launched his own label R3 (Roland Rocha Records) and will exclusively release his own music on his label.\\nRolando now a Dj for almost thirty years continues to work internationally as a Dj and continues to hold a residency at the notorious and enigmatic Berlin club Berghain.\\nStay Rave with #R13!\\nTracklist:\\n01 Shlomi Aber - Liquid Tool - BOA\\n02 Confidential Recipe - Dance(Gene Richards JR Detriit cut) - Rekids\\n03 Talor - Absence of Freedom - Motech\\n04 Shlomi Aber - Warping - BOA\\n05 Elisa Bee - Travel To Light - Outerworld\\n06 Joe Metzenmacher - Stick it out ft.
