Ron Like Hell :: other mixes ::

@ronlikehell

Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello. 
Welcome to my pipipi q&a. 
He/Him 
Bedstuy, Brooklyn-NY

1 fun fact about yourself? 

My enthusiasm for music of all kinds is appreciated by people who hear me talk about it and present it through my dj’ing. That is my little super power. It provides fun for others. I keep striving to be interesting with that as best I can. 

How is everything going with you right now?

Anxiety tries to get the best of me but I still wake up and want people to gather and dance it out, hug it out, respectfully talk it out! As a very personal and shy person, I am very restless and still want to perform in front of people again as soon as it is safe to do so. Having the opportunity to create a mix for pipipi was super helpful. I hope I can connect with your followers in making them happy with this mix. The joy in making this was very therapeutic for me. Thank you. 

Any fun predictions for 2021?

I love crystal balls and the idea of seeing beyond however I treasure the moment at hand tremendously. It’s all you got so whatever move one makes today, that action potentially creates a step forward for their better tomorrow. With that said, if all goes to plan, collectively we can boogie together sooner than much later. That is my hope :)

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

As of late, my newest obsession on the decks and studio..well...just gonna mention them all up in no particular order...Fred P, Deep Creep, Matrixxman, Sleep D, Zvrra, E-Saggila, Furtive, Prince (forever!), Roza Terenzi, Francois K and Daniel Fisher’s artistry plus attention to detail in his productions.
What was your first gig? How did it go? 

It's all getting so fuzzy. Sorry. One of the earliest gigs that stands out was in 1996, dj’ing in a bookstore on a Sunday afternoon. The party was called Turntable Jazz. Felt great to spin my downtempo & soul records to a crew who were coming down and getting blazed up surrounded by books and the smell of coffee. I want to see more of that in the scene. Dance music and DJ culture should not be limited to getting crazy in a dark room. 

Describe your favorite thing to drink and how it makes you feel?

Watermelon justice with basil or mint or both will do. It’s quite an elixir that comforts my head immediately.

Why do you think it's important to share music?

People love to know what other people do and what motivates them to do so. That curiosity is special particularly when it comes to what we enjoy in sound and how it affects our daily life. Music has always been a safe go-to place. From dancing around alone at home by yourself or surrounded by people at a party, a rise in heart rate while enjoying sound offers introspective relief. I strive to make this happen as often as possible. Sharing music is the best cosmic medicine there is. 

What do your parents think about the music you make?

My parents were party people back in the 1970s so disco and finger snapping music was always playing on the turntable and radio. They always sensed I would work in the music industry somehow so they really like seeing me having genuine fun just as I did when I was young. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Less dependence on the alcohol industry. More connections with community organizations and idealism that is non corporate that are supported and suggested by attendees of dance parties. If people really want “that feeling to last” then people need to approach giving back without asking for anything in return. One idea is to not party too hard and leave the club and go straight to the streets and put trash away, help people in need get their food…. the labor of love has infinite value and impact.

So honored to present in the second hour at The Space Between Spaces a new mix by  this month's guest,  @livwutang. Liv takes us on a trip through her more cosmic, trippy tracks she has collected. The result is quite the midnight dance around a fire on a beach under a clear magnificent array of stars. Thank you Liv! Please consider sending her a tip if you can (venmo link below) or support her creativity in any way possible. 
My set in the first hour was mixed live on air from the Lot kiosk  studio. I faced some technical issues with the mixer and cue buttons on the cdjs so apologies for late phrasing and sudden mix changes. I hope you enjoy :)
Next episode airs live on July 15, 2021 a few days before the return of my Wrecked party post pandemic.  Save the date. 
Love & Happy Summer!

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Be yourself and do your best to let go of "perfection", it just does not exist. Ride the rhythm not the cue mark. Practice with any two records and/or tracks. Play YOUR beat in the mix, your friendships and with life in general. Less surrender to being salty may not be so cool these days but it will welcome a more patient attitude with yourself and help those that you love.

previously available only on the club’s patreon, this is now public for everyone to enjoy. created for Virtually Nowadays at the beginning of the shutdown in April 2020 the movie was created by Jay Ivan as we drove through the empty streets of the NYC area, he filmed with a handheld DSLR and then aligned the audio after editing. 
programming this mix was emotional..i did my best to hopefully help people process positively while enjoying a "dance music mix" during a time of overwhelming uncertainty.

love and respect to Nowadays, Kristin (DJ Voices) for inviting me to participate in their livestreams, to my husband Jay Ivan for his patience and support for my professional goals and to you for your attention and kind appreciation 💜

the Space Between Spaces 44 With Ron Like Hell @ The Lot Radio 11 - 30 - 2023

from my all night at High+Tight this is the wind down, conclusion to an epic set. in this segment, long time followers of my sets will recognize my staple/go-to tracks often used throughout many mixes for collectives and in live gigs. being that this was my first ever dj set in the northwest and Seattle no less, i had to give 100% me so they know how I place my treasured classics. i went to a safe place to play genuinely from the heart after bearing and with holding sad news from all in attendance as i was grieving the loss of a close family member who had passed earlier on the day of the gig. my attitude was the show must go on. creating art was very therapeutic on this evening. there are some drops that could have been performed better but as Kate Bush once sang, Be Kind To My Mistakes. I ask for such forgiveness here given the state of mind i was in. also, the recording stopped so two tracks are missing. life is full of surprises <3 
love to Jess, Cody, Paige, Sharlese and so many beautiful others that I finally had the honor of meeting irl that evening.

We're thrilled to have the legend Ron Like Hell guiding us through these emotional eddies. Truly the best of the best, Ron is a musical magician like no other, an unparalleled master of the dancefloor with seemingly boundless energy and boundary-free flow that reaches back decades and stretches forward to the bleeding edge of dance music. We've fallen in love with Ron's sonic sorcery during many truly transformative sets and shared dancefloor moments - all delivered with unparalleled deftness and gentleness - and also with Ron's generous, bubbling personality which extends warm attention and supportive mentorship with a unique graciousness and sincerity. Ron co-runs the legendary Wrecked party - currently in residence at Basement NY - and makes frequent appearances at some of the most esteemed halls and precious holes we couldn't possibly enumerate. In support is Bounce Boss Furtive (whose development as a DJ has in no small part been nudged by the effusive support of Ron, from pandemic-period invitations to The Lot Radio and an appearance at Wrecked's 12th anniversary celebration in spring 2023). This is Furtive's first return to the Bounce House booth in 2024, primed by a recent romping set at Nowadays and more ready than ever to deliver their finest on beloved home turf.

The Space Between Spaces with Ron Like Hell and BLISCORD @ The Lot Radio 04-15-2025

With 30 years of djing in numerous countries, Ron Like Hell has no intention of doing anything else in their lifetime. They produce queer centered events in NYC both solo and as part of the dj duo Wrecked. Ron’s support of young artists in the music industry is unquestionably genuine as they have shared their spotlight with djs in their radio show and parties. Hard to pin as dj of one particular genre is not a concern to Ron. With 26+ years of record store experience their excitement for music goes deep appreciating many genres which provide infinite inspiration. They still love programming their music for a single genre dance party. Indulging such events is in no way an obstacle or compromise. For Ron, it is similar to painting with oil instead of acrylic. There is no intention of being the greatest dj championing specific one or two genres as they prefer to be known as an eclectic dj that reads the room as best they can. Being so eclectic doesn't seem to prohibit their appeal from techno, disco and house music forward bookings..if anything it has increased their recognition and respect from some of the world's best parties and venues. A few of the most notable spaces are Panorama Bar, Lab.oratory and Ost (Berlin), Dekmantel Selectors, Draaimolen (Netherlands), Sustain-Release, Honcho Campout and residencies at Basement and Nowadays in the NYC area. Their creativity has even been immortalized on physical media with a dj mix on a one-sided vinyl accompaniment to Baxter Dury’s 2024 album, “I Thought I was Better Than You” and a mixtape for Mister Saturday Night Records MSN Tape series Their role in the industry is undeniably unique and influential.


Online features and words about Ron Like Hell


Via mistersaturdaynight records:
“Up next in our cassette DJ mix series is our neighbor, friend and beloved hometown hero Ron Like Hell. Eclectic is an overused word in dance music circles but in this instance it is an apt and deserving description of an artist whose years working in record stores and 26 plus years behind the decks afford him a musical knowledge and emotional understanding of a dancefloor for which there is no shortcut. This is mastery at work. Ron delivers two complimentary mixes, a home recording on side A and a recording from the booth at Nowadays from an all-night set on Halloween night 2024. Very limited run on this one so do not hesitate.”


Via Draaimolen Island: 

“Brooklyn’s Aurora Halal is rooted in the underground DIY scene of her city. Her shadowy and metallic DJ sets are sensual and forward thinking. Next to playing and making music, she is also the founder of festival Sustain-Release and co-host of this years (2024) Draaimolen Island. Ron Like Hell plays eclectic, assemblage-style sets with an obscure mix of techno, house, acid and disco. Both are no strangers to each other. In fact, the two have played quite a few times since 2018. With all this experience this back to back will set the dancefloor on fire for sure. Think psychedelic landscapes and long build-ups.”


Via TRUANTS Truancy dj mix series:
Interview & feature

Nowadays Sustain-Release Nonstop description on Resident Advisor:
“Sustain-Release founder Aurora Halal and WRECKED founder and local sweetheart Ron Like Hell come back together for another extended back-to-back set – a pairing that has stirred the cauldron on dancefloors ranging from a previous Nonstop, to Brooklyn rave MERGE, to Draaimolen Festival x Sustain-Release.”

This is a recording my dj set on July 19, 2019 at Nowadays in Ridgewood - Queens NY. It was a very hot Summer evening so I wanted lots of cool textures and patient builds to keep people cozy but steady and excited. So excited in fact a member of some beautiful dancefloor appreciation accidentally knocked some cables off the cdj about 2/3rds of the way in but recovery was swift and it's still a great recording. Thanks to the staff, Kristin, Craig Shorty Bernabeu, Jay, Yasuko, Mauro, Luigi, James, Hugh, Ozzie, the Wrecked kids and Lovefingers for a lovely evening under the lights.  love, Ron

recorded live at Basement NY before Carlos Souffront guest set at Wrecked on October 26, 2019

Ron Like Hell live at WRECKED October 2019 Basement NY

Mixed live for PRIDE 2020 Sound Of New York livestream on The Lot Radio. Our virtual dance-a-thon was a fundraiser for The Okra Project, Black Trans Travel Fund, For the Gworls, Black Trans Femmes in the Arts, Trans Women of Color Survival Fund, G.L.I.T.S. Inc., New Alternatives and some of the streaming artists that needed financial assistance due to the nightlife economy being shut down. LGBTQ+ community from around the planet often travel to NYC specifically for Pride so we highlighted a wide assortment of local area talent to show the world a diverse appreciation of beats and expression. Collectively, it came together far easier than we thought especially during an unprecedented era therefore a tremendous thank you to @thelotradio for hosting everything, Good Room & Elsewhere for the live remote access and use of their DJ equipment, every single DJ and collective for their art of the mix and last but not least YOU for supporting not only your faves but also contributing to very important causes throughout the "party". Black Trans Lives Matter everyday. Without blind love for one another we simply fail to do more for our rights, our extended Q+ families and the next generation of free belief spirit. 
Love, The Carry Nation & Wrecked/Ron

PRIDE 2020 The Sound of New York - Ron Like Hell June 26 2020

Episode 8 of my monthly show @thelotradio.  I decided to go less beat, more harmony, heavy on texture. This Summer has been loaded with lots to think about so grab a book, add to your yoga or morning stretch playlist and feel the space with a comforting soundtrack. The last track is by one of all my time favorite guitar players and the spirit of it is a perfect prelude to next month's show. Thank you for visiting.

Juanita's Mix 28 with Ron Like Hell @ronlikehell

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I have been a music enthusiast since age 9 (playing violin then tenor sax), bought records with my weekly allowance every Friday night when I was a kid. Loved seeing DJs in the 80s but a visit to NYC in 1990 changed my life after hearing the city's DJs "say" different things with their records which were all non-top 40 tunes. A big door opened and I went through never looking back being eclectic as possible.

Q. How long have you been a part of the NYC music scene?
A. I moved to NYC in March of 1998. After 8 months, I became an employee of Satellite Records selling records to every dance music head that rolled through the city. It was both fun and very hard work. After 2001, retail struggled hard so I worked part time jobs at other record shops while I sold records online and did my best to play music I owned that people wanted to hear in the non-loving house music days pre-2009. Stuff like obscure synth, rare disco, italo, ebm and psych rock were my go-tos to play but I still collected house records even if they were just for me to enjoy. In 2009 I partnered with a buddy as a DJ duo then later we named ourselves Wrecked in 2011, a major left turn of a party for the NYC gay/queer nightlife scene which I never had an opportunity to play for. Being accepted by that community truly helped me feel like I finally gave something back to the city that taught and continues to teach me so much.

Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. The mixes on Juanita's are a great example of Brooklyn's finest and friendliest DJs. Since the series was launched, many of the mixes are helping me through these heavy modern times so I wanted to give back what those mixes gave me which is comfort and joy.  My approach was to include bumping, patient, soulful, dubby and trippy music. Something to help you relax yet dance nice and easy to...or get your head nodding, raising the volume as you chill with your friends on the couch. I had a wonderful time making it so a tremendous thank you for asking me to contribute.
