The vast majority of the Defective Records catalog was mastered and cut in Detroit by the legendary Ron Murphy, who sadly passed away in 2008. Ron co-founded National Sound Corporation, or NSC, and Defective tapped NSC for its productions just like many of the classic techno labels in the day, like Transmat, Plus 8, Underground Resistance and so many others. Read Ron’s and NSC’s story.
We’re proud to have NSC etchings grace the runouts of our Defective releases. Rest in peace Ron!
