Renegade Soundwave

Renegade Soundwave were a pioneering British electronic music group formed in London in 1986, comprising members Gary Asquith, Danny Briottet, and initially Carl Bonnie. Emerging from the creative post-punk landscape, the trio swiftly became known for their boundary-pushing fusion of dub, industrial, hip hop, and acid house. Renegade Soundwave’s early singles, including underground favorites like "Kray Twins" and "Cocaine Sex," showcased their knack for gritty beats, sampled breakbeats, and urban noir atmospheres, earning them a devoted following in both club circuits and alternative charts.

Their 1989 debut album, "Soundclash," solidified their status as innovators, and its follow-up "In Dub" further cemented their reputation for experimental dubwise production. Throughout the early 1990s, RSW’s sound evolved to embrace the burgeoning UK rave and breakbeat scenes, with their iconic single "Probably a Robbery" and influential remixes for artists such as Depeche Mode and The Shamen. Renegade Soundwave’s inventive approach deeply influenced the UK electronic and dance music landscape, leaving a lasting legacy on genres from trip-hop to big beat, and establishing them as cult heroes in the evolution of British club music.
