Loud in Abu Dhabi Presents Renaissance featuring dj Roo(4hr set)

The legendary UK brand kicks off in Abu Dhabi with its first installment of cool house music beats.OVER the last 15 years, Renaissance has established an enviable international reputation for great club nights, star DJs and fantastic music. This is a British club brand that has successfully expanded into international tours, one-off spectaculars, live events, and a series of high-quality mix CDs that have sold millions. When the club first opened with a sold-out night in 1992 in the small Northern town of Mansfield, 3,000 eager clubbers who'd traveled from all over the country were locked outside, clamouring to get in. Inside the venue was decked out like a 16th Century Italian palace, with vast, distressed Renaissance paintings projected onto the walls - and the world's hottest DJ, Sasha, on the decks. At the time, this was revolutionary. The British club scene was still reeling from the sci-fi imagery and dressed down fashions of the 'rave' scene when Renaissance exploded onto the scene. Its luxurious decor, glamorous crowd and high-quality music transformed the British club scene; its ambitious marketing campaigns were quickly aped - and the so-called 'superclub' was born. The club even launched the career of Sasha's DJ partner John Digweed - now one of the biggest names in dance music.In 1994, Renaissance was behind another first: the world's first DJ mix CD. Helmed by Sasha and John Digweed, the 'Mix Collection' took the brand around the world and catapulted both DJs into international touring careers they continue to enjoy today.Renaissance enjoys a unique connection with the more discerning clubber. Its hedonistic, high-spending audience love designer fashions and thrive on the luxury of the style & feel of the brand, the euphoric atmospheres, and the exclusive feel of the club. Renaissance has exported these unique brand values all over the world and continually met the expectations of successive generations of demanding clubbers. It proudly remains one of the most potent and recognisable names in world clubbing.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DJ ROO +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Roo has been DJing for over 10 years, guesting for clubs & promoters including Renaissance, Matter, Subliminal, Ministry Of Sound, Zoo (Poland), After Dark (Edinburgh), Heaven, Eden (Ibiza), Amnesia (Ibiza), Café Savannah (Ibiza), Godskitchen, Pacha, Miss Moneypennys, Rise (Cyprus), Digital and plenty more.
