HOLGER

We take our romance with Ghent’s lab for cutting edge sounds NACHTLAWAAI to another level and we join forces for an awesome electronic spring affair! For this occasion, L.I.E.S Records heavyweights RON MORELLI and DELROY EDWARDS will make their long awaited debut appearance on Belgian grounds.

Despite only being around since 2010, New York’s L.I.E.S or Long Island Electrical Systems has established itself as one of the most interesting sources for dance music out there. Running the label from his Greenpoint apartment, founder and sole proprietor RON MORELLI puts out a solid, increasingly near-monthly string of raw house and techno records by friends like Legowelt, Willie Burns, Steve Summers, Svenghalisghost, Bookworms and more. The sound of L.I.E.S. is often gritty, gut-rattling, somewhat psychedelic and reminds us of an analogue past without being precious about it. L.I.E.S. has no website, just a Soundcloud page. The image the label’s going for is none.
As a dj, Morelli learned the trade by playing sets in nearly every after hours bar of NYC, spinning a mystic blend of chicago house, dubbed out synth jams, and pumping disco off-shoots.

If L.I.E.S. is known for a back-to-basics approach, DELROY EDWARDS fits right in. Ron Morelli met young Delroy when the two worked together at A1 Records in East Village. “4 Club Use Only,” Edwards’s first ever 12″, was a direct result of Morelli’s encouragement to get Delroy into producing. Using simple keyboards and shitty drummachines, Delroy usually records live jam sessions straight to cassette. It’s the same stripped back ethos he employs when playing one of his carnage causing dj sets. Things don’t get much more ghetto than this.
