Product Description

Product Description

Renegades is the highly anticipated new LP from Mark de Clive-Lowe (MdCL), out on 14th November on Tru Thoughts. The impressive album was recently unveiled in a special feature on long-time supporter Gilles Peterson s BBC Radio 1 show. MdCL s ninth solo longplayer under his own name, Renegades finds the prolific producer and musician bridging a transition between two continents, and mining a rich seam of personal creativity and inspiration, having recently relocated to Los Angeles after ten years in London. It s been great trying to express all of that in one piece of work. says MdCL. Alongside his own impeccable skills on beats, basslines, synths and more, the record features guest performers from both sides of the Atlantic, including vocalists nia andrews (Common, Janelle Monae), Tawiah (Warners) and Bembe Segue; percussionist extroadinaire Sheila E (Prince); bassist Pino Palladino (D Angelo/The Who); strings virtuoso and Flying Lotus collaborator Miguel Atwood-Ferguson; drummers Lil John Roberts (US), with whom MdCL describes having a musical telepathy , and Richard Spaven (UK); guitarist to the stars Mike Feingold; and new label-mate Omar, the king of UK soul. The overall sound of the album hinges on MdCL's energetic, pristine production - club cuts flavoured with soul, funk, tech-Afrobeat and Latin twists topped with fine, organic songwriting; all orchestrated by MdCL showcasing his ability to meld the science of beat-making with musicianship. He sums up the approach: My whole thing with this kind of production is balancing electronics and programming with organic and live musicianship. I love for that line to be blurred almost to the point where you don't know which is which. Born in New Zealand, to New Zealand and Japanese parentage, Mark de Clive-Lowe s love of playing the piano was kindled at age four; he soon became an accomplished jazz musician, before taking his music far beyond. A world-class DJ and exceptional live performer, he has toured across Europe, Asia, the US and Cuba, attracting widespread acclaim for his shows which feature impromptu studio production created onstage from scratch using drum machines, keyboards, a cappella tracks and effects. A first-call collaborator for a wide range of artists, MdCL has lent his skills as producer, performer, composer and more, to over 250 records by Jill Scott, Jody Watley, Leon Ware (Marvin Gaye/Michael Jackson), Dame Shirley Bassey, Sandra St. Victor (The Family Stand/Chaka Khan), and a host of others. He recently collaborated on the Fairplay single by Zed Bias, which is all over BBC R1 and 1Xtra. Current extra-curricular projects include monthly LA residencies such as Church, a jazz night he runs at Angel s in Santa Monica featuring surprise guests; Scored, in which he directs an improvised soundtrack project to classic films; and the house music party Body Rock. Studio projects include the Rotterdam Jazz Orchestra Big Band Project; album production for Sy Smith and Sandra St Victor; and collaborating on Jody Watley s new LP. He s also playing jazz piano for the celebrated Dwight Trible (singer with Pharoah Sanders).

4.0 out of 5 stars A Little Late Night Listening 2 Jan 2012
By The Wolf TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
New Zealand born, London-based, composer/producer Mark de Clive-Lowe
dishes out some good tunes and cracking beats on his new album 'Renegades'.
From the ribald Latin/jazz shuffle of 'Get Started', featuring Omar, Shiela E.
and a set of red-hot timbales, to the steamy finale 'Alabi', roping in the
sultry vocal talents of Sandra Nkake, we are struck by the sophisticated
and pliable nature of Mr de C-L's muse. The project is a cross-genre delight.

The arrangements are solid and well-plotted. A song like 'Under Orders' with
its manically skittering snare drum, rich vocal harmonies and limber central
performance courtesy of Tawia (sporting a dapper Sarf London accent) is a hoot!
Niah Andrews is clearly having fun too on the tight 'n' slinky 'Hooligan', with
its mercurial flute solo. It's a big plus to have such a talented bunch of musical
collaborators. The storming 'Push' brings Bembe Segue and Ms Andrews together
in a veritable funk-fest of chattering staccato synths and razor-sharp rhythm.
'Everything' delivers the epitome of late-night cool with a deliciously laid-
back vocal from Ovasoul 7 but it is 'Emergency', more than any other track,
which succeeded in getting my listening juices flowing like a Pavlovian mutt
(Ms Andrews again on top-form!) with beats which bounce like a beach ball!

A classy release to while away the small hours.

Recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars renegades mark de clive lowe 31 Jan 2012
Format:Audio CD
personally speaking things have never quite reached the dizzying heights of six degrees in the mark de clive lowe dept.this album, like tides rising, can seem a bit too polished and vocal at times. if only the interludes could be fleshed out into true songs then i'd be happy.
