On November 1st, 2011:
“Renegade Lights #1” made available from our music.renegadelights.net page!

The inception of a new era in electronic music: Renegade Lights #1. Renegade Lights Media ignites their shine onto the world of electronic music for the first time with this originally defiant compilation of uniquely skilled artists. These beats were born to butcher bassbins and refuse to die, taking you on an intrepid journey through the fringes of all genres and beyond while still remaining cohesively engaging throughout. Through shine or shadow, this tasty double-wax album remains truly renegade.

For the rest of my life, I’d like to put out releases and do shows. It’s that simple. We’ve done a few very successful shows and it’s time to put out our first release. For this first one, I wanted it to be special, a good representation of what we do and a nice way to commemorate the start of something beautiful. So I’ve chosen to put it out on vinyl. We have 11 musicians who will be contributing tracks for the vinyl and download:

Edison
Wolf Interval
Raja The Resident Alien
Spacewülf
Searchl1te
Dolza
Mend
Jeekoos
Anon Day
Ellul
Nonagon

and the following video artists will be contributing video for the digital download:

Mattbot
Mediapathic
CSTNG-SHDWS

Normally, I think we’ll be putting out releases for digital downloads and the proceeds from those downloads would build up to a single EP-style vinyl release eventually with as much frequency as is sustainable. But just this once, we’re trying to raise funds publicly for this first release. Perhaps someday, as is part of my dream, we will do some fund-raising events and releases for charitable purposes. Other than that, in terms of public fund-raising for the label itself, I feel this is the only time I would ever feel comfortable with asking help for this one reason:
It’s a big responsibility and undertaking to start something like this, especially for one person, so it’s reasonable to ask for help at the very beginning. But beyond that, it is our own responsibility to carry that help, sustaining ourselves within our means, to a productive and positive future. I have received quite a bit of help from great friends like Vlad Spears, Jason Araujo, Chris Yap, and EACH one of these bold and beautiful Renegades who have braved the proving grounds of our intrepid Renegade Lights excursions. Without an avenue for my creativity, I can become very negative and self-destructive, so it is no exaggeration to say that these people have saved my life. I can’t help but put a great pressure on myself to make sure their contribution feeds forward with exponentially increasing momentum towards as great a benefit as possible. This collaboration is also our art. So shall it be, too, with your help on this first release. It feels right to gather friends and support when starting a new adventure. The initial energy of those friends and their support carry through the lifetime of that adventure like a blessing.

To put it more simply, we’re trying to have a baby shower for our media label.

Please shower your blessings on our Kickstarter.

We will do our absolute best to magnify the brilliance of the support and ensuing faith you put in us. We take your invaluable love very seriously.

Most of all, I am ecstatic and honored to represent these brilliant artists with this release. It is sure to be a priceless experience and a gem in everyone’s music collection. At the very least, I hope you will stay tuned to receive word of the release once it comes out, and that you will immensely enjoy every digit and groove when it arrives.

-Thank You Sincerely,
Raja

Chicago show update: we blew the roof off the sucka and they didn’t even ask for their roof back!

And Props To Part Time Sucker Radio for a brilliantly savvy and engaging radio show. You can hear the show which Ryan Searchl1te graciously hosted for some of our Renegades to appear on from Raja’s webhole, and be sure to check out the weekly radio show, Part Time Suckers Radio!

Renegade San Francisco artists are heading to Chicago. On May 20, 2011 we’ll be extending our Left Coast massive all the way to Chi-Town’s midwestern arena. Artists from both locations are joining forces to levitate the entire building occupied by Transamoeba Studios.

If you roll the Facebook way, here’s the party.

Sound will be scientifically enhanced by Catalyst Sound, drinks will be thrown in your face by Whiskey Alliance, and food for you to drool over will be created by Edible Alchemy.

The second Renegade Lights show was smoking hot. Held at Il Pirata in San Francisco, the night was lit from open to close. Every performance on the evening’s roster came on at full tilt, the place was packed for the entire evening and the crowd was rowdy and appreciative. Thanks so much to everyone. We love you!

The second Renegade Lights will be held on Saturday, March 5th, 2011, at Il Pirata in San Francisco. This is our second public event and we’ve picked a fantastic location for electronic music. Il Pirata has a sterling reputation in the Bay Area for hosting electronic artists, with a great sound system, plenty of space to move, freely flowing taps, outdoor areas for socializing and delicious pizza on order.

Our musical line-up for round two spans experimental to soul groove to grid-hop to robot dreams.

09:00-09:30pm Blankethead
09:40-10:10pm Raja The Resident Alien
10:20-11:00pm Nonagon
11:10-11:50pm Wolf Interval
12:00-12:40am Edison
12:50-01:30am Anon Day

Visualists Mediapathic, Mattbot and CSTNG-SHDWS will be throwing light across the evening from nightfall onward.

It’s going to be a great night of San Francisco sound and vision. 21+, and admission is free!

The first Renegade Lights event in San Francisco was a fantastic success, an amazing pocket universe of audible and visual delight. We were the Northern California stop of the Monome Community Tour, and fantastic sets were played by all – Schplingidy, Dolza, Raja, Visinin, Wolf Interval, Nonagon and Edison each brought the noise in their own renegade ways. Working with the music, visuals created by Mattbot, Mediapathic and Cstng-Shdws turned San Francisco’s Space Gallery into a dimension-hopping ship on a voyage to the next reality over.

The second Renegade Lights will arrive in early March. More details soon.
