On the Prowl's Party Breaks imprint is back, this time with a four-track collection of tunes from label co-owner and the other half of Runaway, Jacques Renault. Here, we find the Brooklyn-based DJ and producer doing one of the things he does best: edits. However, unlike previous releases, Renault is expanding his reach and dabbling in genres he hasn't publicly unleashed before the 12" begins with an ode to the sounds of early 90s raves (complete with air horns and a Mary J. Blige vocal sample), hops over to the deep house styles of the era with a jam that sounds right out of a Crystal Waters playbook, and finally lands on a couple of electrified, feel-good disco edits, properly (and authentically) embellished with fidgety guitars, sexy vocals, and a dash of piano glitz. As always, Renault's distinctly gritty, rythmic aesthetic underscores each track, unifying them despite the fact that each is a nod to a different era, a different style, and a different inspiratio

Release Note
Bump 'n Grind Wax strikes again in 2022! A close friend of the Bump 'n Grind camp, Jacques Renault brings disco flare and funky house to two infectious edits on this limited release 7". One to make the vinyl diggers salivate.
The Let's Play House records boss shows off his affection for the baby-powered dancefloor on the A-side, "That's What You Are". A progressive tune that eventually leaves the listener swinging from a disco ball suspended from lush clouds overhead. Playful cymbals and guitar stabs decorate the sing-a-long hook, reminding us: we are all diamond-drenched dancing fiends.
Jacques' B-side edit of "My Love is Guaranteed" is a funky chokehold of a groove. A driving bassline of love leaves no doubt. A song filled with golden horns and a glimmering sample becomes the perfect selection for a DJ playing at a massive festival... or a wedding. Versatility!

New York flavoured edits by Jacques Renault in NeighbourSoul Rhythms’ third reference
Top house tunes and a lot of funk. This is how NeighbourSoul Rhythms’ third instalment of edits sound. This time under the stamp of Jacques Renault -currently resident in New York- NBS003 follows in the wake of its predecessor: 4 cuts direct to the dance floor, now cooked with special Brooklyn ingredients.
In NeighborSoul Edits Vol. 2, Renault, old acquaintance and emblem of the North American house scene, dusts off his art of sampling in 4 tracks that take a look back at a time in the America of discotheques, guitar riffs of funk and most importantly, dance.
4 edits from the late 70s and early 80s that confirm the label’s taste towards the oldfashioned sound born in the American continent. The EP begins with 'Magic Rhythm Machine', a true 70s disco banger and a prelude to what precedes it on the same side, 'JFK Disco Dub': a megafunk cut to be played at late
night hours. The B-side wanders between softer and more elegant sounds. Like ‘Real To Real’ (B1), with that fine and subtle touch of elegance of the North American master; or the B2, ‘Gotta Serve Somebody’, a slow closure, Groovy as hell and a fine line of acid cooked at low revs.

Jacques Renault - Good Times
Like any good party, there's an after-party. What, you didn't think we'd keep it going? C'mon. We began this one with Jacques Renault's Sky Islands, a full-length album that sought to achieve euphoric disco delight within a wonky conceptual framework; it's his late-night live DJ sets in spirit, organized like a 70s or 80s vinyl megamix or public-access radio program, but comprised solely of a couple dozen originals he crafted in the studio, most of them being wrapped up during the summer and fall of last year. Of course, we realized delivering such an experience, where no “song” is more than about 90 seconds, would do nothing for the working DJ, unless the working DJ is looking to nod off for thirty or take an extended bathroom break. Thus, Coast to Coast, a 12-inch that collects seven of the songs from the LP—in full- length, special-disco-mix, club-ready form. This EP will be followed by more long-form cuts, as well as additional goodies. There will be an after-party for the after-party.

For his third full-length album, Jacques Renault explores his craft through the format of the classic late-night radio megamix. It's a tour de force that finds him blending his quick-cutting DJ sensibilities with his crate-digging, drum-chopping disco-chemist bonafides into one wham-bam party of pastiche. This is Renault as we know him—but at hyperspeed, tearing through twenty- three tracks in under half an hour. And while it's a head rush of his trademark funky drums, sassy horns, playful synths, it's arranged as an album, with songwriting and structure at the fore. Imagine it as a flip on the script for Renault's most loved club 12-inches of the past, which luxuriate in long-form, stretched-out grooves that burn for hours, fills that ride for days. Instead of on pulling a thread for six, seven minutes, he romps around in a bouncy ball pit, plucking out whatever captures his imagination for a moment, then diving back in to discover another buried nugget. It's Jacques Renault as we've always known him, but this time through a suite of bite-size vignettes instead of slow-burn grooves.

Jacques Renault - Love Like That
Jacques Renault returns for a third Take Away serving and it's as fabulous the previous meals.
As always when Jacques serves up something it's solid, gutsy stuff without dogma.
Dishing up a four course meal is not an easy task, you have to prepare and pick the very best ingredients, luckily this is the best of that, complete with the depth of musical flavour that only comes with a little age.
Mr Renault hits the sweet spot once again.

First up is "ANYTHING FOR YOU" which sounds a lot like old T-CONNECTION with a female vocal. Next, "GET EM UP" is a jazz meets funk meets disco edit that rocks out at 128bpm. On the flip, "WAVE" is another disco edit done by ERIC HASS. And last, we slow down the tempo with "WANNA BE WITH U".

Jacques Renault - Let Me Jacq" (Tee Mango remix)
Last year, we released LPH cofounder Jacques Renault’s sophomore album, BK Club Beats, Breaks & Versions, a back-to-basics effort that found the producer eschewing big-budget studio sessions and once again using samples as the clay with which he sculpts his music. Considering the snappy, cut-up nature of the tracks, we thought it’d be fun to invite a few of our friends to take the parts and reshape them into versions of their own design. Here, we present you with the four we gathered. DJ Boring’s is a restive spellbinder stuck in a trancey lock groove; M.I.A.L.’s a molasses-thick slow-mo chugger oozing all over your eardrums; Spencer Parker’s a sunny disco strutter spinning across the dancefloor; and Tee Mango’s a wiggy soul inversion that suavely seduces.

For this Record Store Day, we're doing something a little different and compiling a smattering of previously digital-only Jacques Renault tracks onto a 12-inch slab of wax! Three remixes contained here, two of which LPH released in 2017 and 2019, one of which our friends at XXX Records in Holland put out last year, and one original, a Juno advent giveaway from last December. All engineered with that sublime balance of precise arranging and loose, swinging drum programming Renault is renowned for. A must-have for your bag.

Following Jacques Renault’s sophomore album,? BKClubBeats, Breaks & Versions?,which we dropped in July, is a sort of addendum, epilogue, encore. As you’ll recall,we released a cassette edition of the LP that was all ten tracks laced together,eighties/nineties mixtape-style, and topped off with five bonus tunes. What we present you with here is that extra material etched into vinyl for easier club use and personal playback.

Three years ago, a long-overdue and much-anticipated debut album from Let's Play House co-head Jacques Renault finally hit shelves, and now, the follow-up effort, the sophomore swing, arrives. If Zentrum was a sprawling and aspirant full-length, BK Club Beats, Breaks & Versions is an exacting and focused rejoinder, a powerful, punchy, and succinct exposition of Renault's skills and fortes. It's a deep-dive into the movements that sucked him into club music and a celebration of the inspirations that fueled his ascendance to DJ and producer in his own right. What we give you here is an album of originals that have been conceived, orchestrated, and stitched together to function as a classic Renault peak-hour set—classic house sounds sandwiched between hip-hop breaks and disco licks, all glued into place with his trademark full-bodied, colorful, swinging drums. The A-side has a daytime glimmer and glisten to it, a sunniness that imparts it with a distinct top-down-crisscross-through-the-city flavor. The flip is just as pumped and uptempo, but it has a rounder bottom and feels murkier, steamier, and, by extension, more late-night.

NYC stalwart and international superstar Jacques Renault joins Brooklyn cohorts for a 4 track EP of superior edit stylings! On the A side "Cold Blooded" sources a classic, focusing on a hypnotic and rhythmic pattern for a solid 6 minutes before exploding into exuberant soul, while "Get Down" is a loose and greasy funk stomper. On the flip, "Dream Machine" is disco sampled perfection, chopped and sliced with evident love. Finally, "That Sound" takes us home with its thunderous drums, slap bass, and a tasteful peppering of soulful vocals

More records from otp party breaks
Party Breaks unabashedly shows it?s colors with 4 new brilliant Marcos Cabral edits. With samples ranging from boogie, to piano house, to a beefed up disco ballad, Marcos layers sounds and phrases in an effortless manor for major effect. Sometimes Robin S will peak through, sometimes Bob-A-Rella?all within a strict drum machine groove. All the tracks were clearly built with the DJ in mind, repetitive when wanting to hypnotize, and pop when wanting to catch listeners.

Simoncino (AKA Nick Anthony) from Italian super edit label No More Hits crosses the atlantic and finds a new home with On The Prowl’s sub-label Party Breaks. What immediately stands out upon first listen is the production style, not being able to tell what is a sample and what has been replayed… much like Tensnake’s mega hit. The Simoncino sound is firmly rooted in proto-house and 80’s R&B. With ingredients like ancient drum machines, arpeggiated melodies, and cheap 80’s pads, his concoction boils over with a certain cheekiness that makes listeners grin from ear to ear. All four tracks are subtle hits in their own right. Excellent EP!
