Renegades is the highly anticipated new (and ninth)solo longplayer from NZ born Mark de Clive-Lowe(MdCL), is out on Tru Thoughts and proudly distributed in NZ by Rhythmethod.

Alongside his own impeccable skills on beats, basslines, synths and more, the record features a cast of guest performers from both sides of the Atlantic, including vocalists Nia Andrews(Common, Janelle Monae), Tawiah (Warners), Bembe Segue; percussionist extraordinaire Sheila E (Prince); bassist Pino Palladino (D’Angelo/ The Who) strings virtuoso and Flying Lotus collaborator Migue lAtwood-Ferguson; drummers Lil’ John Roberts(US), Richard Spaven (UK); guitarist to the stars Mike Feingold; and new label-mate Omar, the king of UK soul.

The overall sound of the album hinges on MdCL's energetic, pristine production/club cuts flavoured with soul, funk, tech/Afrobeat and Latin twists topped with fine, organic songwriting; all orchestrated by MdCL showcasing his ability to meld the science of beat-making with musicianship.
