and so, the end is near. the aptly named end game ep, from trilo will fill the role of hware38, one of the final projects for the renegade hardware label.
always forward thinking, always marked by quality and dedication, the standard doesn t slip on the end game ep. trilo is a producer from slovakia, now residing in poland, who has issued music on bad taste, eatbrain, disturbed,as well as hardware. involved in music all his life, trilo has been steadily evolving as an artist and this ep is a perfect showcase of this development and his work fits right into the legacy of the hardware empire.

welcome to the not your idol ep from renegade hardware. four brand new pieces of music to take you inside the mind of the label, and of the producers. the sonic theme on which the tracks are based focuses around the classic drum & bass sound, but with a contemporary edge. take a look at the releases artwork, with its echoes of the early-2000s style, and you’ll know what we mean. the vibes inside the tunes hark back to the classic period as well, with the artists showing off their experience and knowledge of the music.

renegade hardware are proud to present their first release of 2015 – three amazing new tunes from slovakias minor rain.
after issuing tracks on labels as diverse as dispatch, med school and samurai, the producer comes roaring into the new year with two tracks on wax, plus a bonus digital selection, making up hware34. minor rain has become known for his deep, sharp and experimental music, with a taste for the different and the unusual. from a background playing piano and saxophone to his adventures with soundnbeats, minor rain is a musician who is always exploring, always expanding his horizons.

renegade hardware are proud to announce the first solo single by new signing trilo. having been introduced earlier this year via the compound one ep and follow up feature on the the collaborative multiverse ep, his first solo release for the institution comes in the form of two tracks: enterprise and prozac. combining dark atmospherics with, ripping, deformed and ultimately brutally effective bassline science, with punchy, dancefloor ready drums, trilo - who has previously appeared on notable labels such as disturbed, citrus, syndrome audio, fokus and more – is a producer that is set to take dark atmospheric rolling dnb to the next level. trilo utilises production techniques from outside of drum and bass, the ambient builds of abstract electronica, the bassline craft of neurofunk and dubstep on top of electro synth lines and a classical music approach to both melody and harmony singling this talented producer out as one to watch and a sonic auteur par excellence.

renegade hardware take you into the multiverse with the latest release, an ep themed by unique collaborations, with contributions from the core of the labels artists, both established and new. with input from maztek, cern, dose, optiv, btk, cold fusion, subtension, minor rain and trilo, you know you are in for a wild ride. music taken from the past, and driven all the way into the future. strap yourselves in and get ready!

renegade hardware present – chroma. formed back in 2011, the chroma crew crashed onto the scene right from the start, with essential tracks on hardware, program, commercial suicide, and their very own coded label. subsequent releases have blown speakers and minds in equal measure, and now the newcastle lads are back with the follow up to their hardware release: machine which featured on the heavyweight limber ep.

over the last 18 months mazteks tracks have become a staple in an ever-expanding diverse selection of dj sets. known for his skilfully crafted dancefloor orientated drum and bass. mazteks productions wreak havoc not only across club land, but also across the charts every time they are released.

from his origins in auckland to his adopted home in london, cern is at the heart of the drum & bass scene. he has assured his place in the music’s upper firmament with more than a half-decade of releases behind him, on labels as critically and popularly acclaimed as project 51, dispatch and commercial suicide. his dark, electronic and futuristic style has won plaudits from across the scene, and beyond, and now he is stepping his game up once again with a new release on renegade hardware. get ready to take a trip on board nostromo.

with experience comes knowledge, and with knowledge comes the power to create. and both optiv and cza have all of these qualities in abundance. already established veterans of the scene via their output as cause 4 concern, this release sees 2 of the c4c members team up under their solo guises. combining with hardware to work together, to bring the best of the beats and the bass.
vital signs/back to the future readily demonstrates two producers at the top of their game. be a part of the future signs, be a part of hware26. get ready!

the original horsemen concept was initially conceived by 4 minds coming together through one unifying vision. those minds were of: ink, loxy, keaton and dylan. carving out their own unique take on drum & bass. fusing together specific elements that would form the fundamental cornerstones of the horsemen sound: raw original sampled breaks, heavy sub bass and dub elements.
this style and concept has since seeped into the consciousness of a new wave of producers across the globe and has influenced and evolved into the sonics presented here on this album. ink and loxy in conjunction with renegade hardware are proud to present: horsementality ...

4 track double vinyl sampler by renegade hardware, featuring raiden, nc-17, loxy & resound and btk.

nice double a side by ink and perpetuum!!

icicle has a burgeoning reputation within the drum & bass scene having clocked up a selection of deep and deadly tunes on a variety of the leading labels such as shogun / critical / subtitles / soul r and hospitals med school among others. >frozen< and >cold revenge< are both highly anticipated and continue the evolution of the hardware sound.

for the a side gridlok takes us on a trip to the west coast flexing out a hip hop influenced, half step intro. building the tension, gunfire and sirens fly in all directions, before a think and murky swamp bass engulfs the track. as we progress, classic p funk samples melt into the arrangement setting a gloomy scene. time to set it off. on the flip we continue the murky dance floor vibe. half step kicks are broken down by a barrage of filtered amens and breaks before letting loose a squelching stepper of a track. but wait, the story has barely begun...watch the switch, as the track contorts further into some trademark rolling gridlok grunge.

nice ep from the renegade hardware camp featuring top dogs from the d&b scene!!!

great 4 track double 12inch release!! tracks by gridlok, gremlinz, chris su and cern...

limited upfront promo copies available!! special 4 vinyl edition!!
