SELFED MADE EP

Release Card

Track Listing

Chapter One — The Return

Every archive needs a beginning. For the modern Ronnie Vineyard timeline, that beginning is the SELFED MADE EP. It was not only a two-track release on Beatport. It was the moment Ronnie stepped back into the act of releasing music after time away from the studio and public output.

At the center of that return was DJ Amar, a Chicago DJ, producer, and the force behind Konfused Konfliction Records. According to Ronnie's archive notes, Amar did not merely offer casual encouragement. He pushed Ronnie to begin writing again and saw a place for him inside the label's future. The SELFED MADE EP became the first concrete result of that encouragement.

That is why this page is treated as Chapter One rather than a normal discography entry. It marks the point where the SELFED MADE name began functioning as more than a phrase on a release. It became an identity, a return signal, and eventually the foundation for a wider archive built around releases, collaborators, chart evidence, and the connective tissue between projects.

DJ Amar — The Catalyst

DJ Amar belongs at the beginning of this story because his role changed the direction of what came next. Ronnie's account of this period is clear: Amar wanted him producing again. He believed Ronnie still had work to contribute and gave him a reason to re-enter the release cycle.

That confidence matters historically. Underground careers are often built less through formal infrastructure and more through one person recognizing another person's unfinished potential. In this case, Amar's belief became the bridge between Ronnie's time away from releasing music and the first official step of his return.

The SELFED MADE EP therefore documents a relationship as much as a record. It shows an artist being pulled back into motion by someone inside the scene who understood that the story was not finished.

Creating the SELFED MADE EP

The EP contains two original mixes: "Selfed Made" and "Pulled Me Back." Even the titles tell part of the story. "Selfed Made" established the name that would later become the archive identity. "Pulled Me Back" reads like a statement of return — a signal that Ronnie was being drawn back into the work.

At this stage of the archive, some production details remain intentionally open until Ronnie adds first-hand notes: equipment, DAW, plug-ins, arrangement decisions, and the specific creative mindset behind each track. Rather than guessing, the page preserves the verified release facts and marks those production notes as future documentary inserts.

What can be stated from the available evidence is that the release became the first documented step in a new creative run. Later projects would become larger, more collaborative, and more heavily documented, but the SELFED MADE EP is the ignition point.

Techno War Connection

The SELFED MADE EP did not end the story. It opened the door to the next chapter. Amar also invited Ronnie to participate in Techno War, a project connected to Konfused Konfliction Records and the wider network surrounding Amar.

Before Techno War could be completed, Amar passed away. Roberto Milanesi, known as El Brujo, carried the project forward and released it as a tribute. For Ronnie, that moment became the bridge from a return EP into an international connection that would continue through later collaborations.

This transition is the reason Techno War should follow directly after SELFED MADE EP in the archive. It is not just the next release. It is the moment the timeline expands beyond one artist returning to the studio and into a network that begins to grow outward.

Key Relationships Established

DJ Amar — Catalyst for Ronnie Vineyard's return to releasing music and the figure who connected SELFED MADE EP to the next phase.

Roberto Milanesi / El Brujo — Entered the timeline through Techno War after Amar's passing and became part of Ronnie's later international network.

These relationships formed the first links in a chain that later expanded to include Josh Moseley, Brad Lee, Klaus Da Harder, Judge Jay, and many other artists documented throughout the SELFED MADE archive.

Connected Timeline

Archive Significance

The SELFED MADE EP matters because it begins the documented modern timeline. It is the first visible record in the sequence that connects Ronnie Vineyard's return to DJ Amar, Techno War, Roberto Milanesi, Panic Attack, Satisfaction Remixes, The Usual Suspects, One Hundred, and Future of Funk.

In isolation, it is a two-track EP. Inside the archive, it is the first domino. That difference is the reason the page exists. SELFED MADE is not only preserving releases. It is preserving why those releases mattered, who helped make them happen, and how one project created the conditions for the next.

What Came Next

The SELFED MADE EP reopened the door to releasing music. That momentum led directly into Techno War, where Amar's invitation and Roberto Milanesi's continuation of the project created the next historical bridge. From there, the timeline moves toward Panic Attack Vol. 1 and the larger chain of releases that define the modern SELFED MADE archive.
