Rolando grew up in south west Detroit, a primarily Hispanic district of the city, he was heavily influenced by his Latin cultural 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 Latino community. It was later when he heard 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 the enigmatic Underground Resistance in 1994.

In 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 an all time classic in the boxes of DJs such as Tenaglia, Carl Cox, Oakenfold, and Gilles Peterson. The track has a long legacy of reworking and lives on to this day many years later inspiring audiences from all genres.

In November 2004, Rolando left both Underground Resistance and his Los Hermanos project behind.2014 saw Rolando  launch his own label R3 ( Roland Rocha Records) and has more or less exclusively released his own music on his label since. Rolando now a Dj for more than thirty –five years continues to work internationally as a Dj , producer and Remixer  with an eclectic clientele such as Marcel Dettman, Kraftwerk, D’Julz, Ben Sims, Skudge, A Sagittariun. Rolando continues to hold his residency 2006)  at Berlin club Berghain.

808 Radio #396 / Leon Vynehall, Ricardo Garduno, Barbarelle… / Radio CLM – 22/2/25

This sublime mix was recorded at Slam's monthly Return To Mono party at the Sub Club in Glasgow. After that night Niamh Jobson was immediately asked to become a resident at RTM. 

some heartfelt words from kairogen:
it’s hard to process that i won’t be able to dj with niamh jobson again when we were just getting started.

i remember meeting before this set to practice, niamh realising she’d forgotten all her usb’s - later found in the washing machine. that day, it felt like we were making breakthroughs, refining our styles and finding a space further up the bpm scale that worked together. i called it ‘dark groove’ - her minimal, stylish sound with a funky, sexy edge that kept things rolling without being too obvious.

we were excited to play, but the night had its challenges. niamh had been battling osteosarcoma and had recently had her leg amputated, now replaced with a silver sparkly prosthetic. my playlists hadn’t copied over, which i realised five minutes before the set - shaking hands, sweat forming - until niamh handed me a spare usb and i got back on track.

niamh was so unwell at the time that even djing was hard. i remember fixing the jogwheel when she could hardly reach, sorting her wig, and narrowly saving a track from cutting to silence.
we laughed when i also accidentally paused the track that was playing - we’d both always panic but laugh through these moments, which is what friendship behind the decks is all about. some things going wrong and loads of things going right is what makes djing fun, especially b2b - being in sync while keeping individuality.

niamh’s ability came so quickly and effortlessly, and i only wish we had been able to hear more. she had a deep knowledge of sound for her age. it’s frustrating that she had so much more to give, but what she achieved musically in such a short time was huge and will always be a special memory.
❤️

#SlamRadio - 635 - Niamh Jobson B2B Kairogen

Miia Magia @CNI Helsinki Ug / Live Dj set

DJ Hell x 8HOURS MIX (55 Anniversary Pimpernel , Munich)

Inside

Rene Wise returns to Dustin Zahn’s Enemy

Records with a massive follow up to 2022’s label debut, Jungle House. On “Deprivation,” the Moving Pressure artist delivers 4 undeniable, heads-down Techno grooves in his signature style.

Minimalism is the theme on the A-side. Anxiety and Insomnia are both stripped down and tripped out. Both hold steady in arrangement, allowing for the smallest details to shine through. Each track is topped off with Rene’s otherworldly synth washes and FX splashes atop of steady unwavering grooves.

A slight departure from his usual grooves, the B-side drifts off into uncharted territory while keeping in line with the moodiness of the A side. Sakar focuses on a pulsating tension-building synth line in constant flux. Meanwhile, staccato basslines and percussive splashes merge to form the record’s funkiest moment on Cutting Thick.
