0 LP, Blue Coloured Vinyl For his third full-length album, Jacques Renault explores his craft through theformat of the classic late-night radio megamix. It's a tour de force that finds himblending his quick-cutting DJ sensibilities with his crate-digging, drum-choppingdisco-chemist bonafides into one wham-bam party of pastiche.This is Renault as we know himžbut at hyperspeed, tearing through twenty-three tracks in under half an hour. And while it's a head rush of his trademarkfunky drums, sassy horns, playful synths, it's arranged as an album, withsongwriting and structure at the fore.Imagine it as a flip on the script for Renault's most loved club 12-inches of thepast, which luxuriate in long-form, stretched-out grooves that burn for hours, fillsthat ride for days. Instead of on pulling a thread for six, seven minutes, heromps around in a bouncy ball pit, plucking out whatever captures hisimagination for a moment, then diving back in to discover another buriednugget. It's Jacques Renault as we've always known him, but this time througha suite of bite-size vignettes instead of slow-burn grooves."
