Press Info:
Renegade Soundwave are one of the most influential and innovative acts to emerge from the UK’s late-1980s electronic underground. They refused to recognise genre boundaries, blending sound system culture with heavyweight bass, breakbeats, house, industrial textures, punk attitude and dub production to create a sound that was years ahead of its time. Landmark releases including The Phantom, Ozone Breakdown, Women Respond To Bass, Probably A Robbery and the seminal album RSW In Dub helped shape the DNA of UK electronic music.
Now the RSW brand is back to inspire and delight a new generation. Founding member Danny Briottet approached the Jack Said What team with new music, and also the idea of reworking some of the RSW back catalogue. Legendary Brit DJ Carl Cox has long cited The Phantom as one of his favourite tracks of all time, and he was one of the first to agree to be a part of this ‘Rewired’ project. Carl has been rinsing his rework of The Phantom at his [UNVRS] gigs in Ibiza every week throughout the summer, providing the perfect launchpad for the RSW remix project to blast off into the stratosphere.
A who’s who of beats and bass culture have now also reworked choice RSW cuts. RSW Rewired is not a remix album in the traditional sense. Every invited artist worked from newly recorded stems created specifically for the project, giving them the freedom to deconstruct, reshape and rebuild each track into something entirely their own while preserving the spirit of the original compositions.
Every artist involved — all originators in their own unique ways — has professed love and admiration for Renegade Soundwave, and jumped at the opportunity to rework such an influential act.
First up in the series is Leeroy Thornhill. After spending a mad decade with The Prodigy during the 1990s, Leeroy left the all-conquering band to pursue a solo career. Since then he’s played all over the world and become an expert breakbeat rave producer himself. Drawing on rave dynamics from the get-go of his revamp of Ozone Breakdown, Leeroy immediately sets off down a breakbeat pathway. Judicious use of the vocal, snippets of scything rave stab and deep burrowing b-line power this home.
Carl Cox, Leftfield, 808 State, Thievery Corporation, Mr C, Freestylers, Dub Pistols, Altern8, Don Letts & Gaudi, Youth, Justin Robertson, Ray Keith, Nookie, Jon Carter, Utah Saints and Pattern Perception are just some of the names who have rewired RSW tracks by putting their own fresh spins on them. There are some absolutely cracking reinterpretations on this huge, amazing package, with plenty more coming too.
