For more than the last decade, Ron Flatter has been enriching the house and techno landscape with his own direct and energetic productions and warm, groove-driven DJ sets. Initially the young German was a keen skateboarder and hip hop fan, but the lure of dance music soon pulled him in and he has never looked back since.
Over the years he has turned out a high number of consistently excellent and innovative tracks that are filled with unique sound design, fresh melodies and plenty of dance floor drive. He has done so on labels like Pour La Vie, Still vor Talent and Traum Schallplatten, always evolving with each new release and exploring fresh new ground. Plenty of taste making talents ardor the world have all played his productions in the past, and recent cuts like “Stupid World” and “Desert” have taken DJs by storm: they combine heavy drums with light, emotive pianos and well-timed breaks that thrill and surprise just when you least expect.
As a DJ, too, Ron is a skilled selector who knows exactly what to drop and when to drop it. He has played in every major club and festival in Europe in the last decade and holds down a key residency in his hometown of Halle (Saale), Germany. It is there that he likes to interact with crowds, read their needs and play to their passions, mixing up deep house and techno and plenty in between.
After more than 26 EPs and singles, a fine 2011 full length in Growth Rings that really showcased the breadth of his style and more than 50 remixes, all of which have seen Ron put his special stamp on a cultured selection of sounds, Ron Flatter is well and truly a global electronic player who wins big with each and every project. Always releasing and headlining on a regular basis, Ron Flatter’s beats are the beats that matter.
Jetlands
Ron Flatter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a terribly overrated horse-shit shaped hole in the sky
Kick off your heels and come with me tonight I've heard there's a place where we go to die
It's a terribly overrated horse-shit shaped hole in the sky
Kick off your heels and come with me tonight I've heard there's a place where we go to die
It's a terribly overrated horse-shit shaped hole in the sky
Load up Old Bill's twelve-gauge and meet me by the lake
There's a place I know where nobody goes down by the old interstate
Until hell, until hell, until hell freezes over
Together until hell, until hell, until hell freezes over
Until hell, until hell, until hell freezes over
Together until hell, until hell, until hell freezes over
Until hell, until hell, until hell freezes over
Together until
The lyrics to Ron Flatter's song Jetlands are complex, evoking a sense of decay and futility. The opening line of the song sets the tone for a narrative that explores the functional obsolescence of death. The second line is emblematic of the disillusionment and disdain with which the singer views the notion of an afterlife - a "horse-shit shaped hole in the sky". The repeated line "Kick off your heels and come with me tonight" suggests a desire to escape, to flee from the inevitability of death, to seek shelter in the momentary pleasures of the here and now.
The subsequent lines paint a bleak picture of a forgotten, desolate place where nobody goes, except for the singer and their companion armed with a shotgun. The repeated chorus "Until hell, until hell, until hell freezes over" serves as a defiant, almost nihilistic statement of purpose - a vow to remain together, to persevere, no matter the cost. Ultimately, the song seems to suggest that in the face of death, nothing really matters except for the connection we have with others - the desire to be together until the end, no matter what.

This track may have just saved my life. Everything falling to shit around me, and suddenly, nothing. Complete calm. There I am, sitting on a cloud, looking down on my existence, realising it isn't the end at all. It's only the beginning. Fuck I love music sometimes.
