Breaks/Jungle/Footwork

Releases on: Futurepast Zine - MJAZZ - Alternative Architecture

I am an oldskool raver who loves everything oldskool.  Been into the oldskool scene since 1989-1998.  I am into oldskool hardcore, jungle tekno,  jungle/d'n'b, techno, happy hardcore, house and garage.

Over the last few years i have got into music production.  I mainly produce tunes that sound like oldskool hardcore/breakbeat tunes from my early raving days back in the early 90s.  I have so much to learn but most importantly i am having fun while i am learning.

radio producer, music blogger and vlogger.

Welcome to my SoundCloud world! I'm deeply devoted to Electronic music specified in Oldskool and Nuskool Hardcore, Breaks, and Jungle, guided by the 'PLUR' ethos and the early 90s rave spirit. Influenced by Eurodance, Breakbeat, Hip Hop, and Hard Trance, with a heartfelt admiration for The Prodigy, my aim is to inspire and invigorate the rave generation.

In my 90s era, a Walkman opened doors to diverse sounds, later fueling my passion for radio production with the birth of Generation X [RadioShow]. Proudly nominated for 'Best Radio Show' at the International Breakspoll Awards 2014 as one of five nominees, I've hosted through the show luminaries like Leeroy Thornhill, Mark Archer, Black Box, Dream Frequency, Liquid, Marusha, Coco Bryce and more.

You are invited to join the ride then for some glowing electrifying music including special interviews, guest mixes, and musical tributes.

Beyond the airwaves, I drive the Strictly Nuskool Blog and contribute to publications like: Iconic Underground Magazine, OOWLR, The Wub Mag, and The Prodigy Fanboy (known for the Prodigy Fanboy Podcasts).

Let's connect through the beats that define our culture and speak to our inner space.

--------------------------------------

Techno, Acid, Breaks & Electro producer. Pioneer of Jungle Techno & Atmos DnB. 

RonWellsJS (previously known as Jack Smooth) is often credited as the pioneer of Jungle Techno, and an early architect of Drum and Bass, in particular the 'Intelligent' or 'Liquid' variant. He is the creator of Sound Entity Studio, which in the early 90s became a go-to facility for Dance Music producers.


During his career Ron has produced over 300 dance music records, spanning many genres. He usually focuses on creating his own chord structures and melodies using synthesizers, as opposed to relying on sampling the work of others. His music embodies an electronic, ambient techno signature with production standards that are recognisable as more 'polished' than typical underground dance music.


Ron Wells began his career at the age of 17 as a London Pirate Radio DJ in 1987 (Crystal, Medina & WLR), he then went on to form Wax Factory Productions in 1989. Wax Factory was one of the first UK dance music labels to deal directly with record shops, by not having a distribution deal. In years to come, Wax factory would earn cult status as an underground UK House and Techno label. Many, to this day, believe that Ron's productions were from the USA, due to their authentic Techno sound.

In 1991 Ron created Sound Entity Recordings to concentrate on forming the Jungle Techno sound he is predominantly known for. Key artists on the label were Smooth But Hazzardous, Hedgehog Affair, Jack Smooth and 20 Hurts.


In 1992 Ron masterminded, co-wrote and produced Trip to Trumpton with Urban Hype, which became a top 6 Hit (UK National Charts) 

Throughout 1992 to 1994 Ron produced (and on most occasions co-wrote) releases 3-35 on Basement Records and he quickly took this unknown label to class leading status. Differences of opinion on how the label was being managed eventually saw the demise of the relationship.

 
In 1993 Ron formed Fast Floor Productions with Paul Clarke where the two focused on adding more compositional structure to the Jungle Techno scene and further developing its transformation into Drum & Bass. In order to experiment further with Drum & Bass the two formed Earl Grey 1995 which was signed to MCA music publishing and Carl Cox's Ultimatum label.


In 1996 DJ Dr S Gachet invited Ron to join him in producing a 2-hour mix for BBC Radio 1's One In The Jungle show, which was aired in December of that year.

Ron has also co-owned Dance Nation Radio, which was broadcast Europe-wide on Euronet Sky Sports Audio Channel 6.

Responsible for the production of many classic UK Hardcore records throughout the early 90's, Ron's style of production is said to be instantly recognisable.

He releases music via MPSVinyl.co.uk.
