DJ Rolando is a latin-american techno DJ & producer from Detroit, Michigan, USA. He releases music with the groups Underground Resistance and Los Hermanos. DJ Rolando came to notoriety when himself and the Underground Resistance record label were involved in a scandal where Sony/BMG released a "tone by tone" cover version of his smash club hit "Knights of the Jaguar" in December 1999 after they 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 phenomenon played by DJs from all sub-genres of electronic dance music.
