JUNO REVIEW:-

Slightly Transformed bring us the latest instalment in their occasional compilation series, which follows on from 'Summer Numbers 2019' and 'Summer Numbers 2020'. Regular visitors to this page should need no introduction to the respected London-based label, and with the album packing a whopping 26 tracks, there's certainly no space to give you a full blow-by-blow rundown: suffice to say that whether you're a fan of sparkling boogie nouveau, sumptuous string-drenched disco, deep 'n' groovy house, headnoddin' Balearica or any combination thereof, this is a comp you're gonna want to check for. Standouts for yours truly include Kiosko 33's Chuck Roberts-biting 'Theory Of House' and Kristoff MX's 'Funk With Me', but you'll find your own I'm sure...

New kid on the block Ronald Oliver Martin AKA Ronald Koon comes to Hot Digits with 3 quirky slices of electronic funk and disco harking back to that early Roule records sound of the mid 90's. Hot remix action from label honcho Fingerman, rising star Andy Buchan and avid Fingerman Show listener Aure Zwins!

Particle Zoo continues its international quest for the finest in Disco, House and Electronic. Next stop; Germany, where we find rising star Ronald Koon in fine form indeed.
Having released an incredible EP on Hot Digits last year, an exclusive EP on Particle Zoo is a no-brainer.
Ronald serves up another salvo of his unique and idiosyncratic take on Disco, all reverb-drenched samples, shuffling, hypnotic grooves and sultry, infectious vibrations.
Hygh Way kicks us off in style. It's a captivating record, full of character and brimming with soul. If Fatboy Slim made Disco, it would sound like this.
Velvet Nyghts crosses the border into French House territory. But, as is Ronald's wont, there's no faithful genre recreation. Instead, we see one-finger piano riffs and chugging synth lines marry with electro toms and more shuffly, hypnotic goodness. Euphoric and under-stated at the same time, somehow.
Last from Ronald is Lyquid Love, upping the tempo and heading to a sophisticated nightclub circa 2004 for a stunning example of classic House music, all shimmering synths, funky guitars, horn stabs and a piano line for the ages. Hands in the air!
Closing out affairs, label boss Don Dayglow takes Velvet Nyghts into distinctly Giorgio Moroder territory. Arpeggiated bass, electro drums and hypnotic organs which give way to a smouldering piano riff and transcendent chanting for a full immersive dancefloor moment.

_________________________________________________

Born in East Germany, Ronald KOON's first musical passion was almost exclusively Michael Jackson. In the late 1990s, he discovered French electronic music, which was then becoming popular in the charts. After many nights of partying in clubs and festivals as an enthusiastic partygoer, he first stood behind the decks in a club in 2007, back then still with vinyls. Later, he and his crew organized a legendary party series in his hometown for many years, which was dedicated to French electro of the late 2000s, the "French Kiss". He then increasingly devoted himself to disco and other electronic sounds of the 1970s and 1980s and began producing his own music.
Ronald's sets, which are heavy on edits and presented with eclectic energy, are a mixture of classic and contemporary disco and house. The varied repertoire between jackin', soulful, funky and a touch of UK is always driving, exciting, danceable, always good for a surprise, full of heart and never far from the great voices, grooves and melodies of the disco era. His often avant-garde and mostly tongue-in-cheek outfits round off Ronald's presence behind the decks to a lasting experience.
Ronald KOON's releases on smaller international disco and house labels have already received some attention in the scene. He is a regular member of the DISCOnnect collective, which organizes its own events and publishes a monthly DJ podcast.
