Search - Rolando :: Nite:Life 016

The Nite:Life mix series takes the long route to the City of Detroit, a city that has innovated and release so much great music over the years. Nite:Life 016 has been entrusted to the hands of Rolando, a DJ and producer who has made his mark over the last few years with some groundbreaking records and awesome DJ sets. With his Los Hermanos label still in its infancy yet with the stunning 'Quetzal', 'Birth Of 3000' and 'Tres' already under its belt, his genre bending near-classic 'Knights Of The Jaguar' track (as The Aztec Mystic) for the venerable Underground Resistance (UR) label and a relentless DJ schedule, Rolando delivers a fine mix reflective of his influences of electro, deep house and all areas in between. nite:life 016 is the perfect showcase for Rolando?s DJ style. A mixture of revered house classics (Terrence Parker), homegrown Detroit talent (Gerald Mitchell, Mr De? and Ray Merriweathers Jr.), bumping deep house (Gene Farris, Frederic Galliano, Steve Bug), the innovators (Model 500, Jeff Mills, Joey Beltram) and gnarly electro (Hell & Jonzon, Technasia), this compilation sways from futuristic beats and melodies to the underground sounds of old school house. If one compilation is to sum up the full gamut of moods and emotions sparked by the dance beat, then this surely is a contender.
