Producer and DJ, Jacques Renault, was a post-punk Washington D.C. native who moved to Chicago in 1997 to continue his studies of viola, but in turn got an education in dance music. Tapping into the well established drum n' bass scene, he held a residency at Smart Bar and became a buyer at the legendary Gramaphone Records. This broad, raw exposure to House lead him straight back to the classics of disco and to New York City, where he landed in 2002. Along with friends at DFA Records, Jacques is pushing the New York disco conscious sweep into what's next. With his remixes, edits, original tracks and collaborative project Runaway, he has released music on internationally acclaimed New York labels DFA, Chinatown, Italians Do It Better, Editions Disco, and Wurst Edits as well as Parisian imprint I'm A Cliché and London/Berlin's Rekids. He is also starting a new venture producing tracks for Brooklyn's own The Hundred In The Hands.
