Ali Renault @ Futuresonic 2008
Ali Renault is a London based producer/dj originally from Chester in the north west of England. He has released tracks for the Human Shield Record Company, Cyber Dance Records and recently mystery label/distributer Dissident as 'Ali Renault', and is one half of electro pop duo 'Heartbreak'. He also releases dark elctro under his 'Cestrian' guise for Human Shield, Bunker records and MNX recordings.
Ali has been djing for 12 years starting out in 96 at a residency with Peter Mangalore in a Liverpool club (Le Bateau) spinning detroit /chicago style techno alongside various artists including Sven Vath, Mike Dearborn, Kenny Larkin, Tony Sapiano, to mention but a few. His djing continued and production skills started with a move to Manchester in 97 where he was writing and performing with fellow cestrian Tommy Walker 3 and Autogull for live electro band 'Studfarm vs Autogull'. Human Shield was later formed along with Peter Mangalore and Tommy Walker 3 circa 98. After moving to London in 2003, Cyber Dance was created with Casionova and Spruxx as a means to output italo disco influenced productions.
Releases ensued with Human Shield in 2003 (human shield vs multiplex ep) and with Cyber Dance in 2005 (Elecktryck Magyck ep). Later that year Ali started to collaborate with vocalist/producer Sebastian Muravchik as 'Heartbreak' and their first ep 'Destroy all Power' was released on the bands label 'Lycrarecords' in April 2006. His Cestrian project was formed last year and can be heard on the Bunker records compilation 'Artists Anonymous 3' (as cestrian robot) as well as a recently released split ep with Bulgarian artist Manasyt on the Human Shield imprint and a soon to be released 5 track ep entitled 'The Walled City' on MNX recordings later this year."
