 PopMatters Feature | These Times/This Place -- Vive le Métro: The Paris Underground Resistance
Those who choose to ride the trains are at the frontlines of the resistance not only because what they do is the least tolerated by RATP, but also because they are manipulating a captive audience, bringing their music directly to the place where the passengers are headed.
Many of these refugees display their traditional heritage proudly underground, particularly the groups of Peruvian, Guatemalan, and other Latin American musicians who gather in bands of as many as 13 and sport the multicolored ponchos and wide-brimmed straw sombreros of the musicians in their homelands.
That they have given up their established positions as profession musicians to trespass in the inhospitable hallways of the métro during the day just so that they can breathe the fresh air of liberty in the evenings is a poignant testament to their political convictions and faith in liberal society.

Underground Resistance began under the guidance of techno mainstays Mike Banks, Robert Hood, and Jeff Mills back in the early 90's, although most people became familiar with UR through DJ Rolando's massive crossover hit "Knights of the Jaguar".
Originally released back in mid 1999, the anthemic slab of all things Detroit went on to massive sales, bigger acclaim, and is widely considered the most important techno release since May's "Strings of Life" introduced the world to the genre back in 1987.
Below are samples of a number of the Underground Resistance releases, including the recent Derrick May remix of Rolando's "Knights of the Jaguar".

 Armchair DJ: Music Review: Underground Resistance: X-101, X-102, X-103   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Mad Mike Banks, Jeff Mills and Robert Hood came at us straight from Detroit, but their sound had as much in common with UK 'ardcore as it did Juan Atkins.
Conceptualism is the producer's other hallmark, so it's no surprise that the adventure-novel trappings of "X-101" and "X-102" find loftier expression in the track titles and liner notes of "Atlantis." The experimental aspects of the earlier records resurface, too, in the outer-space orchestral musings of "Thera," among other tracks.
Fans of Mills the DJ may find such interludes distracting, but when viewed in the context of the trilogy as a whole, they offer further proof that the members of Underground Resistance wanted to push their boundaries.

Detroit's Underground Resistance crew has been welding urban mythology to challenging techno for nigh on a decade, but the fervency of its following didn't become apparent until just this year.
Both are included on both the mix album and the UR2000 "Jaguar" CD, alongside "Mi Raza," a relentless track marked by a creepy vocal, a squeezebox rhythm pattern and twittering loops that would raise the hackles on a cat.
Rolando's easy movement from gorgeous melody to more sinister and stripped-down sounds is a hallmark of the Underground Resistance label, whose militant philosophy and anti-image are more consistent than its eclectic sounds.
