  • episode 12: Ron Like Hell
    Dec 18 2025

    Ron Like Hell is a trailblazing underground figure, an enigma whose uncompromising sound and mystique have earned them cult status.

    With decades rooted in the underground, Ron’s journey spans years behind record store counters, an early start DJing at renowned venues, partying at the height of 1990’s NYC club culture, and ultimately co-founding the now-legendary party Wrecked (Basement, NYC) alongside their co-conspirator Ryan Smith.


    Listen to Ron Like Hell's mix for AFTERS on SoundCloud here.


    A lifer with a sharp instinct for the raw and unexpected, Ron has helped shape scenes rather than chase them while operating entirely outside of genre boundaries. Still curious, still dangerous, and very much booked & busy, Ron’s got a number of new musical projects and upcoming gigs, proving that their journey is nowhere near done.

    Tune in for this special AFTERS chat with Ron, featuring questions from Makadsi, T.Wan, Sterling Juan Diaz, Sploofi, and special messages from the Raver Realignment Hotline and Damn Steven of Mercury in Reggaeton.

  • episode 11: Neon Christina
    Sep 25 2025

    Neon Christina builds worlds without borders, spanning New York to the Caribbean, the African diaspora, and beyond. Through his platforms Ragga Nyc, Connek JA, and Creatures of the Night, the New York-based artist connects communities across geographies, cultures, queer identities, and music genres. That said, Christina was the obvious first choice for the season 2 launch of AFTERS. Our conversation is a full serving of educational, thought-provoking, and valuable perspectives that'll stick with you long after listening.


    Christina is booked and busy with the International Revolution Fundraising Party on September 28th, Creatures of the Night on October 2nd featuring a rare performance, and the Doll Ball on November 8th. Mark your calendars and support these necessary movements.


    To top it all off, Christina enlisted Ragga resident and crowd favorite SHYBOI for an accompanying mix that absolutely wakes it up. Listen here.
