Ron Trent

Top-tier house evangelists do not come any deeper than Ron Trent. Listing the Chicago native's accolades would be a fool's errand, but suffice it to say he has shaped house music immeasurably since the early 90s. Not a heritage figure dining out on his legacy, Trent is every inch an essential contemporary artist in perpetual development, defined by an impossibly soulful touch that shines through with blinding clarity when he takes to the decks. After years of keeping touring to a minimum, he has become a welcome presence on dance floors again, in jaw-dropping form and bringing the perfect blend of heat, integrity and sensitivity to the dance.
