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.

Approach 1:

If I had to choose a country whose techno I could only listen to, I would probably choose Spain. Even though the decision would be difficult, as it would mean giving up artists like Shed! There is little techno that is as energetic, dynamic, fierce, and passionate, yet so trippy, inviting, and full of groove as Spanish techno. This is the feeling I want to create and convey with the podcast. It makes sense to broaden the focus a bit and mix in material from the UK – you can just hear the industrial revolution, the fiery spirit it reflects. The overarching theme is therefore Spanish techno music, supplemented with music from different parts of the world that, for me, brings a similar vibe.


Approach 2:

For me, the former Berghain system embodies techno music. I wanted to use music that seemed made for this place. The old F1 sound system combined with the unmistakable reverb downstairs has accompanied and shaped me for the past 16 years. If I were to receive an evening slot today, I would play in this direction. This set is, of course, a condensed version, but I think the essence comes across.

Approach 3:
Hardness doesn't come from BPM! For me, there is little straight 4x4 techno above 140 BPM that has enough room to breathe and enough space to really create groove with low-end and syncopation. This is why I rarely play faster than 138 BPM. I find that between 134 and 138, you can draw out an incredible amount of dynamics and tension. The BPM range in this podcast is between 134 and 136, and I feel that the arc of tension works perfectly.


Approach 4:

You often see short clips on social media where people are mixing with 6-8 turntables. That's why I deliberately decided against a third or fourth CDJ/turntable. I wanted to show that if the music is well-produced and has sufficient dynamic range you can create an incredible amount of tension and flow with just two decks.

In this spirit: Less is more... Isn’t that what techno is all about?

Enjoy, and be kind to each other and yourselves!

Ahh Yeah - Anti Visa (p1no remix)

There’s something untamed crawling beneath the surface of Reptation. Enfant Maudit returns with a sound that doesn’t follow trends, it bends them. This is techno from the edge: gritty, hypnotic, raw. From the first pulse of "Untitled01" to the serpentine groove of "Rattlesnake" and the unfiltered emotion of "Leave Me Alone," this EP doesn’t just echo the underground, t is the underground.

We’re back. And it sounds like nothing else. Champagne techno for the real ones. The strange ones. The pioneers. The ones who feel bass like a second skin. Direct from Canada with that unmistakable grace, this is T.A.M.R.

Genre: Electronic
