Renaissance Man – What Do You Do When You Do What You Do from Turbo Recordings on Vimeo.

Tongue twister? Veiled reference to Salt N’ Pepa’s “Shoop”? NEITHER – it’s the latest Renaissance Man video, which is out now on Beatport and Juno, where the vinyl has already not-surprisingly sold out. Remixes from Matthew Herbert, Paul Woolford and more on the digital make it an essential purchase.

Renaissance Man are smart guys. Sure, that doesn’t affect their status as dancefloor magic workers, as has been repeatedly proven through their Dubsided, Sound Pellegrino and Made To Play releases, but ever since the squeaky graffiti tinged stomp of “Spraycan” came reverberating through the speakers of nightclubs worldwide, there was something else underneath the veneer of twerked out tech house club music.

Their upcoming debut LP on Turbo Recordings may be fleshing out the brainy side of Renaissance Man a bit more, as it’s already been called “a MENSA-level dissection of contemporary dance music”, and if first single “What You Do When You Do What You Do” is any hint of what the rest of the album will sound like, it’s bound to be an organic, earthy descent into the mechanics of making people move. Seeing how the single’s been assembled with primarily organic sound is also fantastic and explains a bit more about Renaissance Man’s recent interest in foley art.

We’ve also got a Matthew Herbert remix up for streaming, which is considerably less grim and more enjoyable than his recent “One Pig” album, a rather grim techno affair chronicling he life of a pig from birth to death, basing the music around inspiration from his weekly visits. But while “One Pig” might be a vegan’s nightmare concept album, on his remix of “What Do You Do”, Herbert adds some atmospheric vocals and brings his own slightly balding, twisted, borderline crazy pop sensibility to the table.
