(I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

The one in Mansfield, not the one in Florence.

As many of you are aware, Ministry of Sound owned the brand since 2010 but finally agreed to sell it back to me, for which I’m eternally grateful.

NEW Mix Collection, Art Apartment (clever choice)

We are proud to announce that Renaissance is now back in the ownership of original founder Geoff Oakes and an exciting and innovative new group of partners. The first album release of the new era, Renaissance The Mix Collection: Art Department is scheduled for release late May (more details shortly), with tour dates in Asia in April and a UK Album Launch event taking place in London in May 2016… a new website is in development and there will be a new Soundcloud page and lots more exciting news to follow.

I mean, it's huge!

Re: (I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

I don't see the point, to be honest. The Cd market is on it's back. There are no successful weekly club nights. And loads of big one off events.

Re: (I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

first GU returns, now Renaissance?

they came back already in 2011, starting with another Seaman Mix. i thought it was Oakes who brought it back that year. ?!

however, i still buy CDs and will probably purchase this one, even if i am no big fan of art department

Re: (I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

Naysayers can say what they like. I love owing a CD, I've said it a million times before, there is nothing like having a personalised note from the artist and all the goodies that come with it. CD's will eventually make a comeback like vinyl did.

If I were you ... I'd be buying out originals and leaving them in their shrink wrap

Re: (I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

Its meaning is beyond the physical release of CDs. The last comeback, before the bankrupt, was definitely positive. Boratto's The Mix Collection was good and MANDY's, in my opinion, a masterpiece.

Re: (I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

Give Diggers his Masters Series or a second Mix Collection.... is there any difference between these? always wondered

[sbando]

Re: (I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

The Mix Collection is The Mix Collection, the first, the greatest.

Re: (I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

The Masters Series has always been my favorite "series"

That is from 2011 the last time renaissance came back for there 20th year.
Don't know whats happening now, maybe its just Geoff now??

Think next year is to mark there 25th anniversary .

Re: (I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

That was a bitter return, I think it was MOS that pulled the final plug. 2 years ago, for the 20th anniversary of The Mix Collection 1, he wrote a very bitter Facebook post, blaming Ministry Of Sound. In 2011 he also mentioned a few djs who had refused to help Ren by renouncing to pending royalties (no names, though). I don't know who his financiers are. And the market for physical supports is not in the best of shapes.

Personally, I'll support Renaissance anyway as I support Digweed's Live In CDs, even though I just open them to rip them to digital.

This means that we could see another master class from Hernan, thats good.

Re: (I CAN'T BELIEVE) Renaissance is back!

I can't wait for them to start putting on some club nights, some of the best nights out clubbing has been down to Renaissance
