The Renegades
Primal Winds
2020
The Renegades isn’t just inspired by Tron and Tron: Legacy, it’s sampling from them directly, fully cognizant of the correlations between the Tron-inspired fantasy world of the album and the turmoil of the current world.
Fusing established hip hop styles and boom bap drum loops with retrowave, EDM, and dubstep influences, Primal Winds dive into gaming, hacking, cyber terrorism, and freedom of expression, while also layering in politics, religion, and observations on the glitches in our everyday system.
Titles like “Uprising” and “Freedom Fight” provide a good indication of what to expect, while songs like “Griefers” takes the term from online gaming into the music world.
