DJ Rolando - www.myspace.com/crossroads1
Roland Rocha was born in 1970’s southwest Detroit. He grew up in the mainly Hispanic district of the city, which to this day is dominated by Mexican migrants looking for work in the heavily industrial city.

From an early age he was influenced by his musical culture with it’s roots in Latin American rhythms and percussion. He was greatly encouraged by his enthusiastic father, also a well known local musician and as a young teenager he pursued his own interest in music and became a well known and respected dj within his own right.

It was in the mid eighties that he was so inspired when he heard Jeff Mills spin (at the time he was known as “the wizard”) that he quickly unearthed the new radical and ground breaking sounds of techno. then by chance, through a mutual friend Ruben Gonzalez, he was introduced to the formidable “mad”mike banks and was promptly (to his delight) asked to become a member of the infamous and enigmatic underground resistance crew.

Soon afterwards came his first ever opportunity to cross the Atlantic and wow audiences worldwide with his mild manner and now infamous speedy turntable proficiency; skilfully meandering from funky house, gut vibrating electro, the great techno classics and new soulful melodic techno - earning him respect and notoriety within the industry as a whole.

Jaguar broke the ice critically although not Rolando’s first release on ur, it turned archaic perceptions of techno on their head. it broke through into all other genres of dance music and became a classic in the boxes of many noteworthy dj’s; such as Kevorkian, Garnier, Morillo, Tenaglia - even Oakenfold and Giles Peterson.

The headlining ensuing battle against corporate goliath’s Sony, was eventually won (even if only morally ) by the shear determination of the small independent label (underground resistance) and with the steadfast support of angry activist fans worldwide; proving themselves once again to be a much loved and respected force to be reckoned with.

Then Rolando launched his own label “los hermanos” with then partners Gerald Mitchell and mike banks . already the label has a number of much acclaimed releases under it’s belt with rolando it’s ambassador at it’s forefront. Now, rolando is free – no longer a member of ur he continues solo, as a dj, producer and remixer now entering an exciting new phase in his almost 20yr long career.

Kyle Hall - www.myspace.com/kylehalldetroit
Kyle Hall is one talented kid - a true prodigy. The Detroit native's productions are so richly musical, so thoughtful and mature, that it seems madness to think that he was born 1991. Already with with releases and remixes on the UK dubstep label Hyper Dub, R&S and Planet E he is clearly destined for a rich artistic future.

His work began when he was as young as 11 - local legend DJ Raybone Jones taught him how to spin records, and schooled him in the history of music. After a friend suggested he go check out the Vibes record store in Detroit's Oak Park, Hall was taken under the wing of its owner Rick Wilhite (Three Chairs), who gave him a wider understanding of underground deep house. In 2005 Hall attended a class on using the music-producing software Reaktor 5, taught by another Detroit house legend, Mike Huckaby. He gave Huckaby a mix CD he'd made, and Huckaby went nuts for it - he helped him get some radio and club shows, and set him on the path to wider recognition.

When he was 16, Hall went to go see his favourite techno DJ, Omar-S, play out. Having danced for hours upon hours, he sat down to take a breather, at which point Omar approached him and said, "What up you're Kyle, right?"; they've been friends ever since, with Omar acting as a kind of patron - indeed, his most recent mixtape is comprised solely of Kyle Hall productions.

So what of those productions? The influence of Detroit's deep house forerunners - Moodymann, Rick Wade and Theo Parrish, not to mention Rick Wilhite, Omar-S and Mike Huckaby - is all over 'em, but Hall isn't constrained by a 4x4 beat - he's just as likely to work with a slouchy hip-hop rhythm a la J Dilla. Like Dilla, Hall's music connects with a grander, longer tradition of American soul music, all gut-wrenching melodies rendered in strings, heavy bass and jazzy keys.
