"Art and music are the same, they're just different dialects." The Chicago house music legend talks about co-curating the photo exhibit Walk The Night and nightlife's '90s heyday. 

Ron Trent grew up in Chicago, where he dreamed of being a musician from a young age. He would end up becoming one of the architects of the Chicago house sound and working alongside contemporaries like Chez Damier, and across the pond, Basic Channel. His label, Prescription Records, became a renowned purveyor of the deep house sound. He spread his vision from the American Midwest to New York, Europe and beyond. 

In this talk recorded live at Miami Art Week, Trent talks to Resident Advisor music critic Kiana Mickles about the songs and dance floors that shaped him in this early part of his musical trajectory. In addition to playing some of his favourite jazz, funk and disco songs, he reflects on clubs like Studio 54, Paradise Garage and The Warehouse, which he claims matured him as an artist and irrevocably shaped the trajectory of club culture. Trent was instrumental in co-curating an exhibit called Walk The Night (which premiered at this multidisciplinary event), a photographic homage to these spaces and other historic clubs around the world.

To hear more about the legacy of Trent's favourite clubs and the music that shaped him, listen to the episode in full.

Multi Multi Mix Vol. 1: Make A Dance

Vol.1 of our brand new mix series, kicking things off with local heads Make A Dance. 

No strangers to a Secretsundaze dance, these guys not only consistently release some of the finest cuts & edits on their eponymous label, but they also know how to navigate a discerning dance floor when they see one, famed for their sets from Pikes to Pickle Factory.

They have delivered a power hour mix full of signature M.A.D. selects - feel good house, laced with tones of acid, chug and breaks.

"A selection of new and old and even an exclusive thrown in for good measure! As always the music selection has one thing in mind - to make you move..."

Make A Dance make their debut at Multi Multi this year, details of their room host to be revealed soon.

We, The Love Above acknowledge that the music that we distribute in to the world is inspired by Black culture. We realise that we should be doing more to fight the colour injustices that our brothers and sisters throughout the world are facing.

We stand in solidarity with those in the US, as we also acknowledge that systemic racism is just as present on home turf here in Australia.

All money raised from LAD003 will be donated to The Bail Project in the US. We will be matching all donations until 12/06/2020 and distributing these donations to Victorian Aboriginal Legal Aid, Children's Ground & Warriors of Aboriginal Resistance.

We (The Love Above) promise to educate ourselves further on how we can directly influence and change the systemic injustices today. #blacklivesmatter to us, and they are the reason we get to do what we love every single day...

House music.
