RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE — Renegade Soundwave Rewired LP 2x12"

Renegade Soundwave – Renegade Soundwave Rewired LP arrives on Jack Said What (JSWLP001) as a 2×12-inch vinyl that revisits the seminal output of the UK’s late-1980s electronic underground. The double-LP gathers a roster of contemporary beat-makers to reinterpret classic RSW material, offering a fresh perspective on tracks that once blended breakbeats, house, industrial grit and dub-laden basslines. The release is presented on striking red vinyl, underscoring its visual as well as sonic intent. Within the Jack Said What catalogue, the Rewired LP follows the earlier EP JSWEP001, which featured Carl Cox’s “The Phantom” and Mr.C’s “Probably A Robbery” reworks released earlier in 2026. Those two tracks served as a preview of the collaborative approach that defines this full-length, positioning the LP as a continuation of the label’s commitment to re-imagining RSW’s legacy through current producers. Side A opens with Carl Cox’s “The Phantom (Carl Cox Rewire)”, a rework that retains the track’s iconic status while allowing Cox to imprint his own club-floor sensibility. The second cut, “Probably A Robbery (Mr.C's Definitely Robbed Acid Rewire)”, follows, delivering Mr.C’s take on the original’s acid-tinged momentum. Closing the side, Altern 8’s “Ozone Breakdown (Altern 8 Rewire)” shifts the mood, offering a reinterpretation that nods to the original’s break-heavy structure. Together these three tracks set a tone of reverence combined with forward-looking production. Side B continues the dialogue with Leeroy Thornhill’s version of “Ozone Breakdown”, juxtaposing his distinctive style against Altern 8’s earlier contribution, creating a subtle conversation between the two reworks. Freestylers’ “Thunder (Freestylers Rewire)” injects a kinetic energy that aligns with their reputation for high-octane beats, while the joint effort of Nookie & Binary State on “Thunder (Nookie & Binary State Rewire)” adds a darker, more textured layer to the same source material. The side’s sequencing moves from the familiar to the more experimental, giving DJs a range of moods to draw from. Side C opens with Gaudi & Don Letts’ “Wax Wane (Gaudi & Don Letts Rewire)”, a collaboration that blends their respective affinities for dub and eclectic rhythm, preserving the original’s atmospheric weight. Groucho’s “Black Eye Boy (Groucho Rewire)” follows, offering a concise reinterpretation that fits neatly between the more expansive cuts. Dreadzone closes the side with “Underground Chemist (Dreadzone Rewire)”, a track that channels the group’s signature blend of reggae-inflected bass and electronic propulsion, reinforcing the record’s thematic focus on genre-crossing reinterpretation. Side D brings the rewire concept full circle with Leftfield’s “Renegade Soundwave (Leftfield ’26 Rewire)”, a nod to the original’s name-dropping moment that now receives a contemporary production sheen. Spatial Awareness’s “Funky Dropout (Spatial Awareness Rewire)” provides a brief, groove-oriented interlude, while 20/20 Vision’s “Ozone Breakdown (20/20 Vision Rewire)” offers a final perspective on the recurring “Ozone Breakdown” theme, rounding out the LP with a sense of closure. In the context of Renegade Soundwave’s catalogue, the Rewired LP stands as a collective tribute that reframes the group’s pioneering tracks for today’s dancefloor. By inviting artists who themselves have shaped the evolution of breaks, techno-house and rave-house, Jack Said What creates a dialogue between past and present, highlighting how RSW’s boundary-defying ethos continues to inspire. The record also enriches the label’s 2026 output, building on the earlier EP and reinforcing the label’s role as a conduit for reinterpretation. For DJs, the double-LP offers a versatile toolkit: the Carl Cox and Leftfield cuts provide peak-time energy, while the Gaudi & Don Letts and Dreadzone versions supply deeper, mood-setting moments suitable for late-night sets. The multiple takes on “Ozone Breakdown” give programmers the option to select a version that matches the desired intensity, and the contrasting “Thunder” reworks allow seamless transitions between more aggressive and more atmospheric passages. The release is pressed as a 2×12-inch set of red vinyl, aligning the visual presentation with the bold reinterpretations inside. The format invites both collectors and crate-diggers to experience the tactile and auditory qualities of a well-crafted vinyl release.
