Having admired his work since first reading Dan Sicko's 'Techno Rebels' years ago, I'm touched to hear the submerge podcast interview. I didn't realise he was also such a genuine, and genuinely interesting; subtly witty; noble but modest character - basically a great human person. Is the video (link is broken) the same as the only one I can find on youtube? http://youtube.com/watch?v=cvmB9Qr9GRM I'll celebrate his work tonight by digging out some choice NSC slabs and do a tribute mix (and I think I'll just use the one turntable too). RIP Ron. I only found this out today.

For whatever reason I couldn't make it until we were ready to master our third record, along the way Shawn Rudiman and Trevor Combee passed the time of the five hour drive reminiscing about the previous two mastering sessions. Telling the tall tales of his wit, infectious laugh and funny observations about music, the industry and life in general. I couldn't wait to meet the man, that many audiophiles, such as myself have admired from a distance. This mastering session never happened, shortly after our arrival into town, we got a message at the shorecrest that Ron was ill. That was way back in January of 2000, and while we did eventually get that record cut when Ron was in better health. I never got that chance to sit down and take in the entire experience that so many others are now posting about in memoriam. Though I never met the man, his work, and that insignia means just as much to me as the music cut into the grooves. If nothing else its the unifying factor or common thread if you may of so many labels, big and small, just trying to make it happen. "For those who know" "Good for Party" "Frictional, because life is" "Dealing with your imperfect world" "Reduced on the 4th Floor" the list goes on.
