Just like it says on the tin, Renegade Connection is a collaboration between Gary Asquith (RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE/REMA REMA) and Lee Curtis (LEE CURTIS CONNECTION).
A must for fans of RSW, On-U Sound, Nightmares on Wax and heavy sounds of dub.
Politicians, Protesters & Thieves is an album of reggae-influenced, dense, digital dub full of topical themes echoed through Asquith’s signature voice—a concise, acerbic singing style that sounds urgent and sharp.
The A side contains the originals while the B side features dubs and versions.
For their first release since 2015’s ‘I’ll Surrender’ 7”, the duo sharpened their sound to a gleaming knife’s edge: not much more than Asquith’s quietly intense croon (often barely more than a whisper), driving reggae bass and piercing dub echoes.
After getting his start in post-punk pioneers Rema-Rema , whose first EP marked the debut of the iconic 4AD label, Gary Asquith started Renegade Soundwave in 1986.
Lee Curtis was a member of 90’s duo Flavornaughts , Brazilian working with Amon Tobin and others in the Ninja Tune axis.
