Ron Morelli is a New York-born DJ, producer, and label owner renowned for his raw, uncompromising approach to electronic music. He is the founder of L.I.

E.S. (Long Island Electrical Systems), a pioneering label that has been instrumental in shaping the sound of underground techno, house, and experimental electronics since its inception in 2010.

Under his own name and a series of aliases, Morelli crafts gritty, machine-driven tracks that blend the spirit of American DIY punk with the aesthetics of vintage hardware and murky club sonics. Raised in the vibrant punk and hardcore scenes of New York, Morelli’s early musical influences carved a path toward the abrasive edge that would come to characterize his work. He channeled his rebellious energy into L.

I.E.S.

, curating a roster of artists who defied conventional boundaries and championed a lo-fi, experimental ethos. The label quickly gained international recognition as a tastemaker, launching the careers of artists such as Delroy Edwards, Legowelt, and Greg Beato, and serving as a nucleus for a new wave of gritty, analog-driven dance music. As a DJ, Morelli is known for sets that traverse genres with a fearless disregard for trends, blending acid, EBM, industrial, and techno into unpredictable sonic adventures.

His performances have taken him from the dark warehouses of Brooklyn to prestigious clubs and festivals around the world. In the studio, Morelli’s discography spans visceral solo albums on labels like Hospital Productions and collaborations with artists including Vatican Shadow and Beau Wanzer. His music oscillates between dance floor destroyers and abstract, noise-laden compositions, always maintaining an unmistakable edge.

Currently based in Paris, Ron Morelli continues to push boundaries, both with L.I.E.

S. and his own music, inspiring a new generation of underground artists and listeners alike.
