Rolando joins for DifferentSound Podcast #072.

https://www.differentsound.ga/

Rolando R Rocha: 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 and became well known and respected within the 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 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 a classic in the boxes of DJs such as Danny Tenaglia DJ, Erick  Morillo, Paul Oakenfold, and Gilles Peterson. The track has a long legacy of reworking and lives on fifteen years later inspiring audiences from all genres.
As of November 2004, Rolando left both Underground Resistance and his Los Hermanos project behind.
2014 Rolando has launched his own label R3 ( Roland Rocha Records) and will exclusively release his own music on his label.
Rolando 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.

With his strong and determined vinyl only sets Chami is able to showcase his talent on the decks and demonstrate his deep knowledge for this very technical art. Lock in for a clean, rhythmic and hard-hitting hour of no bullshit techno.

EXTEND PODCAST 025 - Chami

39th episode of Cartel Podcast with OPH

OPH is one to keep an eye on. Vinyl enthusiast, this french DJ started his musical journey by writing reviews about the electronic scene of his hometown, Lyon. After moving to Berlin in 2014, he quickly joined the Stützpunkt collective as a resident, opening him doors to clubs like Arena, Grießmühle or ://about blank.

His sets are reflecting his large and diverse musical culture and are shaped to musically recreate a palette of emotions felt on the dancefloor. Forever in search of new sounds to play with, he sees mixing as a form of plastic art, combining different textures and grooves to induce a state of introspection.

On the side, he shares the booth with Chami, his close friend and music half. Together they run a Face 2 Face act, a special format that got them a successful gig in Berghain recently. In combination with a new residency in the Sinxergy family, you can expect more to come from OPH in the near future.

OPH X Cartel [039]

A herald of Spanish techno, Aiken's sound signature is both elegantly deep and stealthily aggressive: silky-smooth yet hi-octane, introspective yet all-in on the powerhouse dynamics, his blends cross-pollinate a wide spectrum of ambiences, emotions and alien-engineered grooves.

For him, balance is a key concept: something you can feel in his DJ sets but also in his productions, in which he sees an opportunity to express what he experiences - from new cities to new encounters.
