Gigi FM Presents: New Moon In Taurus 270422

Unpredictable as both a DJ and an event organizer, Seattle's @grymnk brings a fresh, community-centered energy to the North American dance music scene and beyond. From throwing notorious raves in rented mansions and other unconventional spaces and bringing together international favorites and local heroes, to playing alongside artists like Ayesha, Object Blue, and Azu Tiwaline, grymnk is an energetic force. Their mix for Spontaneous Affinity is trippy, wonky, and devilishly fun.

Read the interview:
spontaneous.zone/046-grymnk

"When I made this mix, I had a couple weeks of being alone and to be honest things got a little weird. I think this will come through when you listen.

When I imagined people listening to this, my hope was that they would hear the struggle, the mental illness, but also the celebration of oneself and the wiggle of dancing in a room alone."

The Space Between Spaces with Ron Like Hell & Sharlese @ The Lot Radio 11 - 03 - 2022

"Recently, my parents moved from Amsterdam to a quiet village away from the city and therefore also away from where I grew up. Before, my childhood always felt close and tangible, just visiting my parents, walking through the old neighbourhood and it's like you've never left. 

It sometimes feels crazy that that time will never come back but through music I often bring this feeling back a little. So this has become the theme of my mix, a kind of ode to that time, with music I got to know through my parents. All this in a 'modern' jacket to suit me as Yb3L"

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.

Daisychain 259 - Ron Like Hell

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.”

Favorite Quote: ad astra per aspera (to the stars through difficulties)

Advice for the DJs, artists and producers of our community: You don't need to define yourself by just one sound/identity/process. Keep exploring, take risks and be open to changes. Don't focus negative thoughts on what you haven't achieved but how you will get there. Set your goals and never tell yourself you're not capable of getting what you want. Have respect/kindness for yourself and acknowledge what you've accomplished. Face your fears. Always be an uplifting ally.

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

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.

Juanita's Mix 028: Ron Like Hell

For the newest Animix i'm very happy to host an exciting, bass-heavy mix by one of my favourite DJs at the moment, Amsterdam local @jasminhoek

She is in many ways a perfect representation of the bright, bubbly and diverse style that is common amongst so many of my favourite Dutch DJs and producers, whilst at the same time she is certainly paving her own refreshing and unique style. 

Residing in Amsterdam & studying gender studies, Jasmin hosts her own radio show "petting dogs" on Stranded FM.  She frequently featured on De School lineups before its' closure this year, and i'm excited to see where she goes with her DJ'ing in the post-covid music world.

Thanks again for being a part of the series Jasmín! <3
