Ron Morelli is an experimental techno producer best known for running L.I.E.S. (Long Island Electrical Systems), one of the most prolific and buzzed-about underground electronic music labels of the 2010s. Morelli's own music takes a nihilistic, punk-inspired approach to techno and house, and shows little regard for the dancefloor, laying brittle drum machines over cold, bleak synthesizer drones. It wasn't until 2013 that Morelli began releasing material under his own name, after Dominick Fernow expressed interest in releasing his music on Hospital Productions. Morelli's debut full-length, Spit, and companion EP, Backpages, appeared on the label in 2013. His subsequent albums ventured closer to dark ambient and industrial music. ~ Paul Simpson
