Unfortunately this is not a sick prank but the sad truth :(

From the 313 list:

It is with a heavy heart and great regret that I announce the passing of Ron
Murphy.
I was called with the news that he died of a heart attack sometime today.
Most of you already know of Ron and how important he was to the creation of
Detroit techno so there's not much else I can say.
A fund will be setup hopefully tomorrow to help with funeral expenses. I'll
pass on any additional details as I get them.

Oh shit. This is very sad to hear.

He will be remembered worldwide for his dedication to Detroit Techno artists from day one. Records won't sound the same without him.

Rest In Peace.

Ron did most of our pressings for Direct Drive, Bonesbreaks & Grooveworld. Nevermind the fact that we enjoyed doing work with NSC, But he was the fabric of Detroit Vinyl Mastering and an important part of history.

A sad loss to say the least.

I have to admit that I didn't know who Ron Murphy was and the fact he was behind NSC. In my younger days I remember looking at cool Techno records searching for the NSC stamp, and being delighted when it was there. Very sad, respect to him and his family. God bless :(

Rest in peace. I have a feeling he told someone the secrets of his techniques, so there's a good chance his special skills will live on.

Here are 2 links of audio & video Interviews with him. That My Friend The Plan From Detroit Gave to me.

According To The Plan, Ron actually helped revolutionize the cutting process he invented the x2 cut, now records cut like that will never happen again. he had a great ear for lows and he knew better than to compress a record too hard, that sound is now gone forever

Not wanting to be churlish, but it seems doubtful he did.

Check the section called 'Paralell grooves' in this wiki:

The Full Monty

Still, no doubting he made the technique synonymous with NSC in dance music.
