Earlier this year Ron Murphy died from a heart attack.

Very sad news.

Ron Murphy cut and mastered most Detroit techno records.

Look out for the NSC logo on the runout groove of most of your favourite Detroit masterpieces.

Ron was responsible for the sound of Detroit techno.

Interview from the Submerge Podcast here.

 
Underground Resistance’s 'Mad' Mike Banks in DJ Mag, “Ron Murphy helped many a fledgling Detroit producer's early career. When they had a fucked up, out-of-phase, poorly-segued, four or eight-track piece-of-shit production, he would fix it. He would make it competitive to the [stuff] coming out of New York or Chicago. He did miracles with some of those records-ours included.“

To quote Aaron Carl from the Ron Murphy Memorial MySpace,

Ron Murphy, you have taught me so much over the years. I'm glad I was able to make you proud. I will continue on, using the lessons you taught me. I'll miss our conversations. Your spirit was so important to this city -- please keep your arms wrapped around us from Heaven.

Until the next time we meet again, I'll be thinking about you...

Love
Aaron-Carl
