Ron Trent

Prescription, Future Vision, Chicago

Ron Trent's musical journey began at age 14 in Chicago when he created Altered States, a raw and beautiful track that catapulted him into the hall of fame of house and techno. Ron made a name for himself as a DJ who would introduce rare disco and soul classics into the Windy City house blend. Deeply influenced by artists such as Larry Heard, Roy Ayers or even Pat Metheny, he formed the seminal record label Prescription in 1993 alongside Chez Damier. Together they defined an era, creating some of the brightest moments in the history of house music - producing seminal singles for Detroit's KMS imprint and later working with Berlin's Maurizio/Basic Channel. Ron has also produced and remixed the likes of Groove Collective, Amel Larrieux, Tony Allen and 4Hero, while putting out a string of remarkable 12"s with Anthony Nicholson for his Clairaudience label and two heavily underrated full length albums. Still travelling the world as an in demand DJ, Ron Trent is based in Chicago once more, having relaunched Prescription Records. Pop, dip and spin!
