Welcoming Spring with psychedelic beats and lush acid house. Went for a very relaxed "in the park"  or "afternoon at the beach" vibe mixing disco, tribal beats, acid house and deeper soulful techno. This is number 16 of monthly show. Next episode airs April 22, 2021 on The Lot Radio. Thank you for your attention. Love, Ron

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 💜

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

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.

nearly half of my morning set at Merge PRIDE 2024. crowd appreciation is everything. we ate.

Ron Like Hell - Merge Pride 2024 Cunty Express

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.”

Ron Like Hell (https://soundcloud.com/ronlikehell) is a trailblazing underground figure, an enigma whose uncompromising sound and mystique have earned them cult status.

With decades rooted in the underground, Ron’s journey spans years behind record store counters, an early start DJing at renowned venues, partying at the height of 1990’s NYC club culture, and ultimately co-founding the now-legendary party Wrecked (https://soundcloud.com/wreckednyc) at Basement, NYC alongside their co-conspirator Ryan Smith (https://soundcloud.com/mistersmithnyc).

Listen to the interview with Ron Like Hell on AFTERS the podcast here: https://pod.link/1730661938

A lifer with a sharp instinct for the raw and unexpected, Ron has helped shape scenes rather than chase them while operating entirely outside of genre boundaries. Still curious, still dangerous, and very much booked & busy, Ron’s got a number of new musical projects and upcoming gigs, proving that their journey is nowhere near done.

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

Ron Like Hell live at WRECKED October 2019 Basement NY

This is episode 2 of my Space Between Spaces show. I was feeling sentimental about one of my most beloved and supportive parties that I have performed at as both solo and as Wrecked. I met so many beautiful people and saw so much freedom in every dj set I ever witnessed there. Thanks for so many nights and days of liberation by the canal dear Cocktail D'Amore. This one is for the avant-garde 116 bpm&slower cosmic kids in the Cosmic Hole, ron like hell style. May we find each other again in deeper spaces as we did before.

the Space Between Spaces  episode 2 @ The Lot Radio 01.30.2020 Episode 2

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

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

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

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.
