'splain this one to me: Renegade Soundwave

wait djp did you say upthread that you dont have a copy of thunder II anymore

pretty sure i do. i know i have that thinline cd maxisingle w/biting my nails and cocaine sex on it

and kray twins! apparently i have the one that enigma put out with 2 mixes of biting my nails, although iirc its just a vocal and an instrumental club mix so prob no great rarity there

I purchased an album of theirs because Pop Will Eat Itself listed them as something they dug on "Can You Dig It."

I didn't.

i mean, it's kind of blowing my mind that other went through exactly the same folly of youth shit. and it wasn't an "album" i bought, it was exactly that thin-case maxi single. eventually came to like one of the songs, think it was the "biting nails" club dub.

^ this one

music > ac/dc > run-DMC > riffs > disco sound > "leader of the pack" > spinderella > "hit the north" > "into the groove(y) > "da doo ron ron" > renegade soundwave

listening back, i love the music on all three tracks, but hate the vocalist, no exceptions

enjoying this, but it seems more pop than club

The 12 with biting backed by kray twins and cocaine sex was my first purchase after soundclash I think. Bought it at sam goody in a nj mall.

i do still have thunder II and in dub. yay not loaning out cds like i used to!

Me = jealous @ u

I was about to post the playlist of my 2 CD set of RSW favorites with a "pop" cd and a "dance" cd but then I realized I did it already 6 years ago.

man listening through all of this and cocaine sex is just so much better than the title would lead you to think - i think this might be my favorite so far

whoa this biting my nails (sound system plays a renegade tune) remix on thunder II is kind of awesome

Ha, this is almost verbatim what you told me when you first bought this.

Awesome to see RSW get some love on the board. I love em. A friend of mine wrote them a long and analytical fan letter back in the day, and they wrote a long letter back that began, "Dear Daniel, Dance music has been with us since the dawn of time."

AMAZING

Surprising!

written by her husband Papa John Philips I think.

I had no idea. Awesome.

hang on. just watched that network clip.
they diss PWEI !
yet clearly they went on to change their minds when they got the offer to remix them later on.
[what a great chart : tackhead/pwei/woodentops/coldcut .. ]
and as per broom, i too had no idea biting .. was a cover.

double wow!

danny and gary were well moody. good hats though.

i'd forgotten that "cocaine sex" was promoed as "cooking sex". ha!

i also had no idea that "biting my nails" was a cover. the original is great! a little like a proto cristina.

I have a 7" on Rhythm King stamped "Cooking Sex". I always assumed that was the case but this is the first confirmation I've had that it was for real.

Reminds me of the recent run of SNL skits where they say something that's not dirty but make it sound dirty in context. Like the TV ads for "Sofa King". "Our prices are Sofa King cheap" etc. Similarly the earlier skit about "Cork Soakers" in a winery, where they soak the cork before bottling, and the old lady with no teeth is the best "cork soaker".

wait ppl didn't know "Biting My Nails" was a cover?

so that means you probably haven't seen... THIS:

nope. thats rather fun.

I declare today to be Renegade Soundwave Day

The sound system plays a renegade tune

RSW is more of a saturday night thing.

I love my Saturday night,
It's late Saturday night,
When I met you.

Track starts off with some sort of acid track, sounds hot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=argUqGBkGGE

Err, my question was meant to be: Does anyone recognize this acid track?

It appears to be none of these: http://www.whosampled.com/Renegade-Soundwave/The-Phantom-%28Turntable-Scratch%29/

Remixer is credited as 'Radical Crew' (only credit on Discogs is this track)

don't know about that sample but those credits are sloppy. That track doesn't sample Area Code's Stone Fox Chase OR Cymande, or Run DMC it samples Royal House's The Chase, which is Todd Terry sampling Stone Fox Chase and Cymande and Run DMC.

Great interview with Gary Asquith here about his younger/punk days:

http://www.3ammagazine.com/3am/a-strange-elevation/

interesting stuff, definitely needs a second part re RSW and beyond ...

why oh why have these guys not yet cashed in on the late 80s/early 90s reunion groove !?

i mean seriously.

modern techno toys would mean they could perform live with little effort.

They probably don't get along. They both do stuff with versions of the name. Danny seems to do more straight modern dub type stuff, while Gary's been reissuing and reworking Rema Rema and doing stuff as Renegade Soundmachine. I really wish I was more convincing when emailing Gary going back to the myspace days about the then yet-unreleased Rema Rema stuff.

Where is Karl Bonnie?

They probably don't get along.

i realised this after a bit of research and chat ..

such a shame as they could easily pay off mortgages etc if they hit the reunion trail ..

I just reread Neuromancer for the zillionth time and was thinking about how I like to listen to certain records or bands when reading certain books/comics because it’s a perfect soundtrack and for me the soundtrack to Neuromancer is Soundclash. There’s a lot of dub in the book so RSWs take on decadent industrial digital dub pop always seemed fitting.

i interviewed renegade soundwave but i don't think the piece was very good

after a nudge, i listened to all 4 albums yesterday/today.
yeah, their stuff still hits the spot.
never got the 2cd comp though as not enough non-lp material on it.
now, a comp of their own remixes and their remixes of others would be most appreciated,
but i suspect the chances are somewhat slim.

Gary’s been busy with Rema Rema, movie coming soon. Danny did some production and remixes with Rico Conning and makes radio mixes.

blimey.
did not expect that.
nice to hear that they are still involved with various projects.
