I KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT - THEY WANT TO BE SHOCKED... AND GROOVED. AND THEY WANT HOUSE 
MUSIC.

Lawrence S. Williams Jr., better known as L.A. Williams, is an American DJ and producer from Chicago. Founder of the label Chisel, producer of over 27 releases, he has an idiosyncratic take to rhythms, sounds and grooves. 

As a huge fan, both impressed and beguiled, I wanted to shine a light on him. I still am often tripped up trying to blend his tracks while D'Jaying and fit them in a mix soooooooo I had to make this all L.A. mix ᏊˊꈊˋᏊ I spent the last few months collecting nearly all his releases on Discogs to use for the mix; a lot isn't available digitally, and it just felt right. 

I think the best way to hear his unique world and sound is via a tour of his various sides and styles, weaving and roiling, building and bubbling, jacking and smacking.

Ron Like Hell provides eclectic sets venturing into obscure international sounds, Techno, Synth, House, Acid and Disco which are appreciated by some of the most discerning dance floor enthusiasts.

Approaching a dj mix as assemblages, Ron Like Hell aligns sound with emotion, focusing on texture to create psychedelic soundscapes, imaginative spaces for comfort and surprise spectators with an unexpected crafty transition. With 27+ years of making people dance in numerous countries along with years of vinyl shop experience and music promotion, his/their role in the industry is unique and influential. Their latest production, EXALT is their dream come true where Ron selects a personally beloved dj to play solo then close out the night together with a b2b set. EXALT's first guest was Matrixxman in April 2022 at Basement in Ridgewood-Queens, NY. Ron also djs as Wrecked, a music first queer dance party which will turn 12 in March of 2023.

Notes on the Mix ///
"Created deep from the bottom of my heart respectfully for the queer community in my off kilter multi-genre inclusive style this live in one take mix includes vinyl and cdj media. Mash-ups sit near disco originals, disco sampled 90s house thumpers meet modern deep tech house
pumpers and adjacent to all that, unashamed sassy vocal house is celebrated too. I also featured a few productions by some friends near and far: a trend that I can not shake since creating mixes during the 2020 shutdown. Overall, I wanted this mix to be a version of near
perfect just as when we go out and hear DJs at the club where a perfect blend is a fortunate dream come true and also some skips or light off the beat-mixing reminds us of our beautiful mortality. I feel the intention and soul of the dj is revealed when those moments are noticed. I hope everyone who follows the XOXA mixes and parties will play this mix before they head out to a party this Fall and Winter and beyond :)"

XOXA BLEND 123 - Ron Like Hell

The vibe @justbeige created at Hemlock Hole was pure magic. Their set was a gorgeous build of low slung house, dark trippy cuts, and a deeply appreciated Jolene cameo.

For Deep South ATL, I leaned into the idea of sharing a Rose Kourts jam session in its purest form. This is a free-flowing power hour of tracks and records I’ve been digging lately. It’s eclectic and funky, full of energy and crunchy, groovy, acid-heavy sounds that get my heart pumping, feet stomping, and stank face going. Especially as a queer Black Southern gal, it is both a pleasure and an honor for me to contribute to this fantastic series. Y’all better turn it up, enjoy!

Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Rose Kourts is a Brooklyn-based DJ, radio host, and organizer, known for blending musical styles and influences with a signature touch and a buoyant energy. Since bursting onto the scene in 2019, she has quickly become a favorite at New York’s most buzzing clubs and parties, electrifying dancefloors and airwaves alike with dynamic selections that reflect deep digging sensibilities and a love and respect for the underground. Rose Kourts' selections bloom into soulful warmth as easily as tense menace, and she wields this versatility with a philosophy of fun that extends to her monthly Lot Radio resident show GEMS, her work as a co-founder of DIY renegade party Sweet Kicks, and as the head of local club night NOW. 

Rose Kourts can regularly be found whipping dancefloors into a sonic frenzy at Brooklyn venues such as BASEMENT, Nowadays, Good Room, Paragon, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Mood Ring, and Public Records. The last year has seen the artist blossom into not only an established mainstay in her local scene, but also a growing presence at clubs and events across and outside of the US. Her travels outside of New York have thrilled dancers and won her a growing international fan base across electronic hubs like Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Detroit and beyond.

The DJ has played festivals such as WIRE Festival, Dweller Festival, Fourth World, Shaker Mountain, Slingshot Festival, London’s Keep Hush, and Boiler Room; storied parties with collectives including WRECKED, The Carry Nation, BOUND, and The Bunker in NYC, LA’s Ostabahnhof, Miami’s Proibidae, Berlin’s Body Language, and Copenhagen’s Fast Forward; and as direct support for legendary artists like Mr. G and Moodymann, DJ Stingray and Helena Hauff, Robert Owens, The Egyptian Lover, and DJ T-1000, among other seminal talents.
