UR – Knights Of The Jaguar EP

But much of this seems like pre-history when compared with what happened when UR released Rocha’s Knights of the Jaguar EP in 1999 under his Aztec Mystic alias. Faster than Rocha or anyone from the UR camp could have imagined, the record’s a-side, “Jaguar,” was receiving play and accolades from across the electronic dance music world—DJs ranging from Detroit heroes like Derrick May and Jeff Mills to international superstars like Carl Cox and Paul Oakenfold were singing its praises. In short order, Rocha’s Knights of the Jaguar EP became the biggest-selling record that UR had ever released—and even 12 years later, it still holds that honor.
