Ron Like Hell provides eclectic sets venturing into obscure international sounds, Techno, Synth, House, Acid and Disco which are appreciated by some of the most discerning dance floor enthusiasts.

Approaching a dj mix as assemblages, Ron Like Hell aligns sound with emotion, focusing on texture to create psychedelic soundscapes, imaginative spaces for comfort and surprise spectators with an unexpected crafty transition. With 27+ years of making people dance in numerous countries along with years of vinyl shop experience and music promotion, his/their role in the industry is unique and influential. Their latest production, EXALT is their dream come true where Ron selects a personally beloved dj to play solo then close out the night together with a b2b set. EXALT's first guest was Matrixxman in April 2022 at Basement in Ridgewood-Queens, NY. Ron also djs as Wrecked, a music first queer dance party which will turn 12 in March of 2023.

Notes on the Mix ///
"Created deep from the bottom of my heart respectfully for the queer community in my off kilter multi-genre inclusive style this live in one take mix includes vinyl and cdj media. Mash-ups sit near disco originals, disco sampled 90s house thumpers meet modern deep tech house
pumpers and adjacent to all that, unashamed sassy vocal house is celebrated too. I also featured a few productions by some friends near and far: a trend that I can not shake since creating mixes during the 2020 shutdown. Overall, I wanted this mix to be a version of near
perfect just as when we go out and hear DJs at the club where a perfect blend is a fortunate dream come true and also some skips or light off the beat-mixing reminds us of our beautiful mortality. I feel the intention and soul of the dj is revealed when those moments are noticed. I hope everyone who follows the XOXA mixes and parties will play this mix before they head out to a party this Fall and Winter and beyond :)"

Tickle Polyester @ The Lot Radio 10.14.2022

This was my closing set at Nowadays on October 13 with Yumi and Call Super. I believe this mix represents the direction I'm headed as an artist, and furthermore is perhaps the best set I've played thus far in my career, in my own opinion. Huge thanks to DJ Voices for selecting me to close out her residency night with two of my favorite DJs. It was an absolute dream.
