Music has always been in Jerry Frempong’s DNA, influenced by his late Father who led the way in pioneering the Ghanaian ‘Hi Life’ sound and showcased international artists and productions on the family’s music label, Asona Records. It was during the late 80’s that attending recording sessions with his Dad, he was exposed to a musical staple that consisted of a fusion of African beats, bass and rhythms. It was then at 17, that he accidentally discovered the craft of blending vinyl, it was then that a new passion had been birthed and the love of music coupled with the need to share his passion with others began.

During his University days at Leeds, Jerry began hosting halls of residence campus parties with good friend Ian Morbey. Jerry at the time had a love for the then pioneering and groundbreaking UK Garage and soulful house sound, whilst Ian possessed a love for the deep and more progressive house sound, it was then they realised they complemented each others sound. After regularly frequenting Leeds based clubs such as BackIIBasics, he was hugely inspired by likes Erick Morillo, Ralph Lawson and Carl Cox. From then on, the house sound was Jerry’s preferred sound of choice.

As a lover of vinyl, he’s spent many a time carefully selecting records from highly influential London based shops from the likes of Release The Groove, Black Market Records, Uptown Records, Vinyl Junkies and also PlayMusic in Leeds.

After a stint of travelling the globe with friends in 2004, Jerry returned to the UK fresh and inspired to create his own record label and club night with Ian Morbey, it was then that Pret A Ecouter was born. Pret A Ecouter was famed for it’s unique small parties where friends of friends came to from afar to enjoy the unique friendly vibe, the versatile and eclectic sound of electronic music in all it’s forms. Pret A Ecouter reached it’s height for hosting a number of superb and intimate sell-out boat parties on the River Thames.

To date, he’s had the opportunity to grace the wheels of steel at clubs such as Ministry of Sound, Sankeys, Plan B, Sosho, Mint Club, Kensington Roof Gardens, Paramount Club, The Whitehouse, Cafe de Paris, and many other venues across the UK and in Ibiza. In addition, he has had a stint hosting a show on Push FM and has held down a residency in London’s West End.

Recognised by many as an all round musical selector and vibe creator, he’s warmed the decks for the likes of Danny Rampling, Nicky Holloway, Joey Negro, Norman Jay, Robert Owens, Trevor Fung, Luke Solomon and many more.

As events come full-circle, 30 years later the resurgence of the Ghanaian Hi Life sound has once again swept the nations with many music lovers discovering Asona Records back-catelogue. Fittingly, Jerry Frempong has recently signed a re-issue deal with BBE head honcho and fellow Ghanaian, Peter Adarkwah, with all 11 albums from Asona Records to be released on the BBE Records in the fall of 2023. 

Expect to get hot, as in the words of Jerry Frempong… “If you don’t sweat, it aint a set”

One of the UK's most respected House DJ's and Record Producers, Ricky Morrison has been breaking beats since it all began in '86  He is also one half of the dance music production and remixing duo M&S. Their biggest hit  was “Salsoul Nugget (If You Wanna)"
Biography

Genuinely one of the most influential producers & DJ’s in the UK house scene from its original days in the early eighties, Ricky Morrison has earned a reputation for delivering big performances and big records and is set to release a wave of new material in 2016/17.

In 1984 Ricky Morrison began spinning at London’s infamous ‘Dance Wicked’, promoted by SOUL II SOUL, and went on to be resident at ‘HIGH ON HOPE’ with the legend that is now Norman Jay MBE. Two of the UK’s most seminal dance clubs was a hell of a start and Ricky established a name for himself within the exploding house scene that developed into the monster it is today. Ricky has gone on to play at many of the best clubs in the world, on every continent, and very much has a style of his own that stands him out from the crowd, a style that saw him play the main room at the Southport Weekender five years in a row as the event was returning to its soulful roots in the late 90’s. Also a regular at the Ministry Of Sound, Fabric & Pacha Ricky developed a sound for the big rooms these venues offered that filled the space without betraying his soulful roots. This made Ricky a valuable commodity as the US House scene took off and many promoters of previously underground events began taking over the High Street needing a DJ that could cross over the soulful sound to a bigger audience.

With long-time friend and music partner, Fran Sidoli, Ricky produced under the name M&S and was responsible for many of the ground breaking releases that helped take dance music from the back streets to the high streets including the monster hit ‘Salsoul Nugget’ which reached No 6 in the National Chart in 2001. Other big M&S Productions included their debut, ‘Keep On’ with Jay Ella Ruth & ‘Special’ by Robbie Craig, both released by Public Demand, the hugely successful ‘Don’t Give Up’ with Michelle Weeks and their timeless remix of the classic ‘Moment Of My Life’ by Bobby D’Ambrosio. The list of M&S productions and remixes is endless and they were a backbone of many of the trailblazing events that took the sound to the mainstream where it sits comfortably today however Ricky stood out equally as a DJ alongside such US heavyweights as Masters At Work, Tony Humphries, David Morales and Frankie Knuckles. 

Ricky’s style is unique and unlike the majority of the UK’s soulful house fraternity, often described as a US sound with a British twist, and anyone who’s heard him play will associate with this summary. He was so influenced by the sound coming out of the US that, in 1991, he quit his day job as a computer engineer and opened London’s legendary ‘Catch A Groove Records’ in Soho and the exclusive access this gave him to new material simply added to his effectiveness and reputation. 


Ricky has played alongside an almost comprehensive who’s who of the DJ superstars that shaped todays dance music and he is still much loved and sought after by clubs looking for a quality that is increasingly hard to find amongst the crowd. With a repertoire that includes the deeper sounds so in vogue today and the classics of yesterday, mixed in a style that is immediately recognisable as his own, Ricky Morrison is once again back in the studio making beats for where he most loves to be, behind the decks performing !
