Ron Trent Lecture (Toronto 2007) | Red Bull Music Academy

Ron Trent’s musical journey began at just 14 years old, when he created “Altered States,” a raw and beautiful track that catapulted him into the house and techno world. Influenced by artists from Larry Heard to Roy Ayers and Pat Metheny, he formed the seminal Chicago record label Prescription in 1993 alongside Chez Damier. Together they defined an era, creating some of the brightest moments in the history of dance music. 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 his own full-length albums.
