Renegade Soundwave (sometimes shortened to RSW) were an electronic music group. Formed in London in 1986, the group originally consisted of Gary Asquith, Carl Bonnie and Danny Briottet. Their debut LP Soundclash was released in 1990 on Mute Records. It featured the UK Top 40 hit "Probably a Robbery" and dancefloor favourite "Biting My Nails". In 1995, the group disbanded, leaving behind a legacy of four albums and 12 singles.
Links to Peel[]
Peel first started playing Renegade Soundwave on his radio programmes in the spring of 1987 when he played their double a-sided single, 'Kray Twins / Renegade Theme'. Further records of them were played by Peel, including a session they recorded for his programme in June 1987. After 1994, Peel lost interest in their music and never played any of their tracks from the 1995 release, 'The Next Chapter Of Dub'.
