Ronald "Ron" Trent (born May 23, 1973) is an American house music DJ and record producer.
After experimenting with beat machines and a small keyboard in 1986, he began recording the track "Altered States" while still in high school.
The track became a club hit among devotees of techno,[1] despite Trent's grounding in the Chicago house scene.
He then began working with Detroit producers such as Chez Damier, with whom he issued several singles before co-founding the label Prescription Records in 1993.
Later in the 1990s, he moved to Brooklyn and put together a collaboration known as Urban Sound Gallery, or USG.
