DJ Rolando (born Rolando Rocha) is a Latin American techno DJ and producer from Detroit, Michigan, United States. He released music with the groups Underground Resistance and Los Hermanos. DJ Rolando came to notoriety when he and the Underground Resistance record label were involved in a scandal where Sony BMG released a “tone by tone” cover version of his club hit “Knights of the Jaguar” in December 1999, after Underground Resistance would not license it to them. They never received compensation from the music conglomerates, but the incident promoted the song and made it an international success.
