FACT Focus 3: Renegade Hardware

FACT Focus is a brand new mix series.

Regular FACT readers may have noticed that occasionally, to accompany a large feature or list, the author has provided a mix summarizing the article in handy-to-absorb MP3 format. Well, we’ve decided to flesh this out into a series.

Episodes of FACT Focus will, umm, focus on a specific artist, label, scene or sound. The mixes won’t be weekly, but they’ll always go the extra mile in terms of highlighting hidden classics and mapping-out specific eras or sounds.

This week’s installment comes from Anthoney Hart (aka Imaginary Forces and Basic Rhythm), who focuses on oft-overlooked D&B imprint Renegade Hardware. Hart cut his teeth spinning on London pirate radio in the 90s, and Renegade Hardware was a big part of that.

“It was a label that made up at least half of every set I played on Rude FM from the late 90s to the early 2000s,” he says. “I feel it’s a label that is often overlooked in favour of ‘hardcore jungle classics’.”

Hart’s latest 12″, Shift Work is out now on the Bedouin label.
