Ever since 1998, entrepreneur and independent musical visionary, DeRon, has single-handedly owned and operated the Palisade Hills record label. After recording various projects under a mixture of monikers such as Azariah, Empathy In Love, Modern Kitten Theory, DJ Iceberg, Cure for Cancer, and a host of others, DeRon is finally ready to take off his mask and reveal his true talents with his latest project, "The Ministry of You".
Over the years, Palisade Hills has grown into one of the most vital on-line musical alliances around. Recorded in only a matter of months, "The Ministry of You" is a project that will leave his congregation in astonishment. "From the first note to the last, "The Ministry of You" is nothing short of groundbreaking" raves writer Tracy Carter.
The comparisons here are evident and felt throughout the album. Ranging from that of the leaders of the early electronic persuasion, Kraftwerk, on the hit single "When I Want Romance", to the influence of the modern-day artistry of Massive Attack, or possibly early Björk, on tracks like "Little Blue Riddles" and "I Want To Move To London". The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Overall, DeRon offers an assortment of elements from the modern electronic scene, hip-hop, traditional Oriental music, and even New Age.

A great one to chill to
author: Mike B from OKCI just decided to buy this CD on a whim because the cover caught my eye. I love downtempo and chilled out electronic stuff and this totally fit the bill. DeRon takes so many different musical elements and sounds and then molds them into a great album for just throwing on and relaxing after a hard day of work or play.
ALABAMA THE GREAT!
author: MarkI've been seeing your name on different sites all over the web. I don't know if your famous or not yet, but I am proud of your music because it sounds good and I too am from Alabama (Birmingham). Keep the music coming Deron!
Perfect for Meditating...Love It!!!!
author: KeAndri ("KiKi")This CD is excellent for meditating! It's mellow and smooth flow seems to put my mind at ease. You can hear the crisp sounds of each instrument and they all seem to blend in wonderfully in each song. Good job Deron!

My husband and I love this CD
author: Vanessa & Trevor MorenoOne of the beautiful things about music is that it's universal. Good music is good music no matter what the style or genre. Honestly, this is one of the best CD's I've bought in years. The day I got it, it didn't leave my CD player. Buena suerte, DeRon!
