Thank you for Everything you have made. Pure Rave Legend Ron
For anyone that doesn't know, Jay Cunning made a 2 part interview with Ron Wells a few years back (available on Soundcloud). Definitely worth a listen for anyone interested!

Thanks pal. And yeah that's a quality track 😎 Full mix now uploaded.
It's pretty much impossible to pick a favourite out of the tunes Ron worked on, since so many of them are classics. I'll always have a soft spot for We Are Unity though!

Big up the Ron Wells, absolute legend of the scene… so many superb tunes captured in that mix, fantastic tribute, cheers
Class! Being a bit of a production geek, these tunes sound so well made. I could be wrong but there's real synths and drum machines at play here with meticulous sampled breaks. Well sequenced and produced with a nice sheen of quality. Obviously love the sample heavy lofi sound of the day too, but Ron's tunes sound on a different level! Thanks for the great showcase and excellent mix! 👌

Yeah great that you appreciate them on that level. I remember back in the early 90's when these tunes first came out, I knew nothing at all about where they came from or how they were made...all I knew was that something magical was happening. ❤️

You could probably have an all-nighter with 10 different Dj’s just playing the works of Ron Wells / Basement and it would kick the dick out of any fake rave/edm bullshit of today ! Great channel , much love 😎

Got so much love for Ron Wells. Been blessed to work with him also. Not often someone is responsible for creating and pioneering a new genre in Jungle Techno like he did. He has such a strong musical DNA, what I mean by this is lots have collaborated with him (including myself), and the end product is just so heavily Ron Wells sounding it's foundational. He has a very very strong sonic blueprint! He brushes aside the legend status we all hold for him. He states that there are far superior musicians in the world for that title. But the fact is the Rave and early D&B Jazz evolution, Ron has left a massive impact in both, undisputed and understated and continues to do so today. I urge you check his recent creations in both styles. He changed my life in a positive way and I'll forever be an admire and friend of his! Love your channel by the way, you should do a newer style Jungle Techno series. Plenty of great tunes still being made! ❤ 😉

I interviewed Ron a few years back for Ransom Note online magazine and his responses were fantastic and made for an amazing read and insight. Think it was quite cathartic for him as he got all of it off his chest as well 😀 Amazing, amazing tunes and such a stamp of quality across all of them (and there are a lot of them!).

Ah great shout doing this Jake. Before my mid life crisis I didn't quite realise how important Ron was for the scene, not being a man on the usual tape packs I bought back in the day as a kid. Didn't know he was a great DJ too. Thanks Jake and keep it up!! Ollie

11:35 - if my ears and memory are to be trusted, I reckon this break has been lifted, changed and re used in loads of dance tracks, or many are similar (good things are just good things always 😂)

About 80% of my favourite tunes turn out to be the product of Ron Wells under an alias, has to have been the busiest man in rave at the time.
