Leron Carson

Leron Carson isn't the most well-known or prolific of Michigan house producers - his only official release to date is 2001's 'China Trax' on the Theo Parrish-split The 1987 EP - but he's nonetheless one of the most respected. He was a 15 year old kid playing around with drum machines and synth keys in 1987-88, when he produced the five tracks on 'Red Lightbulb Theory'. The tracks apparently languished away in his basement until Theo Parrish released 'China Trax' split with his own 'Insane Asylum' on the Sound Dignature classic '1987 EP'. Now eight years down the line, or 22 since 1987, Leron is afforded his own doublepack, rounding up those early handmade experiments with a little bit of engineering revision from AOS aka Omar-S. All the tracks were produced in that early Chicago style, meaning no sequencing and lots of cassette tape overdubs, hence the inimitably raw and psychedelic wow-and-flutter between the grooves.
