Description
Deep house with a jazz-fusion feel and an expansive sound by Ron Trent!
Ron Trent made his mark on the history of Chicago house at a young age with “Altered States” and made a major contribution to the development of deep house by founding Chez Damier and Prescription Records. “Night Wind” is a long track of about 12 minutes that combines a light rhythm with an expansive sound, revealing his deep knowledge of jazz, fusion, soul, and percussion. Pads, percussion, and melodies slowly shift, sustaining the groove in a natural flow without rushing toward a distinct peak. “Magic Is,” which follows A1 “Night Wind,” is also a long version of about 9 minutes, allowing listeners to enjoy Ron Trent’s signature open-ended deep house across both tracks.
A1. Night Wind
B1. Magic Is
The first transmission from Pink Dolphin arrives on a double-sided 12” – two sides of music following the warmth, movement and possibility of an endless day.
Night Wind moves with the ease of a warm summer afternoon – light, fluid and quietly uplifting. Rhythm and atmosphere flow together with an effortless sense of motion, like a breeze arriving from somewhere just beyond the horizon.
There is a feeling of open space throughout: sunlight on water, windows open, landscapes slowly passing by. Nothing feels hurried. The music simply finds its own pace, suspended somewhere between movement and stillness.
As the music unfolds, familiar elements seem to drift in and out of focus, leaving just enough unexplained. It feels less like a destination than a moment – one of those stretches of summer when time loosens its grip and the day seems capable of continuing indefinitely.
Night Wind is a small escape into that space.
