Re: Renaissance Rumors

Sad, i had some great nights out with Ren at The Cross in London and at Media in Notts. Seaman, Digweed Etc all played at The Cross, they would deck that place out to look so cool, didn't make it to any of the nights at Cable.

Whats Marcus up to now?

Re: Renaissance Rumors

GU already went. They came back under the wing of MOS but 95% of their releases before 2003 where better than all of their releases after 2003. I think they would of been better off ending it back then.

I think Renaissance have trumped GU on most of their Cd releases since 2001. But now it wouldn't bother me if they went under or not. DJ's will still do mix comps just with a different logo on the cover. The market it saturated with mix comps

Ah no wonder. Yeah the last GU I bought was Howells' Miami, other than that exception there hasn't been anything I've looked forward to from them for a long time.

Re: Renaissance Rumors

Not surprised if they were relying on CD sales alone. Can't imagine the efforts from Woolford, C Smith, Boratto and MANDY sold all that well?

Hopefully they will be back, just hope the quality doesnt dilute as it did with GU (as chunky so rightly said)

Re: Renaissance Rumors

Gutted. My clubbing days started at Venue 44 in Mansfield when I was at Uni in Nottingham, not sure it ever got much better than that to be honest, although it set a pretty damn high bar. Renaissance sustained me via The Cross for what 13, 14 years? Went to so many of those nights - never failed to be a brilliant night.

Great memories - thanks Geoff.

They're not gone...

Re: Renaissance Rumors

You mean "for now". Sooner or later they will have to face the fact that moving those figures won't keep any underground label alive.

Renaissance is too big to fail.
