Back on 74 - jungle Message in a bottle - sting/ the police His bands were The Big Push and Trick The Fox. Here’s some info on TBP. Some really good songs of theirs to start with are I shot the sheriff/ road to Zion/ hiphop Wade in the water/ Nina Simone/ trouble so hard English man in New York Swan song Watch out live Why my woman What kind of woman is this THE BIG PUSH! 🥁🎸🎤🎵 REN (Welsh) - vocals, acoustic, electric, bass mostly Romain Axisa (French) - vocals, acoustic, electric, bass mostly Gorran Kendall (English) - vocals, acoustic, electtic, bass mostly Glenn Chambers (Irish) - drums mostly The Big Push formed in 2017. Initially being Ren, Romain and Gorran with Glenn joining later to play drums. Gorran and Romain met busking, Romain and Ren then met through Facebook while Ren was trying to find a flat mate. They would all busk together and Glenn would sit in as drummer while also playing bass with another friend Rafa. They then decided to become a band and would take to the streets of Brighton and also created masterpieces of their own. They played numerous gigs including a sold out tour of the U.K. and also released a 6 track EP called “Can Do Will Do”. They busked together for the last time on 14th December 2022 and played their final gig at the Brighton Dome a short while later. Having to go on hiatus due in part to Ren moving to Canada for medical treatment and their lives going in different directions. Although they remain good friends and Ren and Romain have mentioned wanting to play together again.

@@RetroQuinReacts you’re welcome 🖤

[@joelmastrobattisto422]

Awesome list that was quite a synopsis. The only thing I think was missing, was the Busking video of Black Sabbath war pigs

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

@@joelmastrobattisto422 oh my god so I have! Thank you! 🖤

[@portiadavenport9866]

This was filmed in December not long after Money Game 3, as Ren was in the UK at the time. The bar is Valentino's in Brighton and the 2 lovely lasses are also from Brighton and have their own youtube channels Sylvia Mwenzes and Scarlett Fae, video by Samuel Perry Falvey and Josh Stiles

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Much appreciated for giving me this information. Do they sing as well?

[@PippaHinchleyComedy]

Do who sing aswell- the Big Push? Yes, Romaine and Gorran do. Pipx

[@darlinesly9364]

I like everything Ren does, Jazz, Blues, Rap, Reggae, Ska, Rock, Ballads, storytelling. Back on 74 is the 90’s vibe. Ren loves music so he uses whatever he’s feeling.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

I’m right there wit ya. Ren has mastered so many different sounds. I love it

[@Peacetrain66]

When he makes music from so many genres there is bound to be someone who gets disappointed occasionally (not me), but flop? No flop, NEVER a flop in anything he has done❤

[@ginawright3446]

I thought the same got ABIT upset x

[@RetroQuinReacts]

I agree. I wouldn’t call it a flop, but u kno how ppl are in general tho

[@PlymouthLad76]

Who'd have thought the 2nd coming would be on guise of a welsh kid playing a guitar 😂❤

[@RetroQuinReacts]

lol rightttttt 😅😅

[@Lou-xq9br]

❤ #ren Somebody call The Police cause this man too damn hawt 🔥😍🖤🥵

[@RetroQuinReacts]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Goober-o6p]

Back on 74 is a separate song, message in a bottle is another mate.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Got it. Appreciate u so much for clarifying that 💪🏾

[@donnap9547]

His band is "The Big Push'. You should definitely check out their busking session on the streets of Brighton, "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop". (The one with Ren in red suspenders.). It's brilliant!! Loved your reaction!

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u so much and thanks for the suggestions. I’ll be checking them out

[@HeatherMcGunigle]

It feels so weird to be living in a world where nobody knows who “The Police” are. 😂 Ren is my Zen!!! ❤

[@RetroQuinReacts]

lol righhttttt 😅

[@kevb1538]

If this ain’t love making music, then I don’t know what is! My man Ren goes from strength to strength ✊ #RENegades

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Better say it louder for the ppl in the back 💪🏾💪🏾

[@darlinesly9364]

Try The Big Push I Shot The Sheriff/ Road to Zion/ Hip Hop The Big Push What Kind of Woman Is This, The Big Push Praise You Sam Tompkins and Ren Earned It/ Mans World/ Falling

[@RetroQuinReacts]

I got the first and last suggestion up on the channel already. I’ll check out the other two for sure tho

[@ThereWasATime]

@@RetroQuinReacts so worth it.

[@mikeeckhardt4945]

The song "Back on 74 by Jungle" (a British electronic music project) song was released in 2023..is a little bit faster than in Ren's retake.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u. I’ll have to go back and check it out

[@Prozak63]

It was newly created by Jungle, but this is straight up 70's pop-soul to a tee...💯🔥💞🍻 Message in a bottle was released late 1979 by The Police. Lead singer Sting is an obvious insperation to Ren.

[@ClevelandPotters]

MM can't do this like Ren no way! Ren must be protected by us Renegades! He is a 💎!

[@RetroQuinReacts]

True story!

[@RyanESmail]

You’re the first person to say they’d like to see a Sax on this and I hadn’t thought about, but I think you’re right on the money with that one

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Most definitely. I love listening to the sax and I was hoping to hear it in this song, but it was still amazing tho

[@Musiklife.9049]

The funny thing is…I bet he has a mate who’s super talented on the Sax 😂

[@RetroQuinReacts]

@Musiklife.9049 lol true story 😂. I got a strong feeling that we gone get some sax reallllll soon. I’m calling it now lol

[@Dalmen]

my favorit: The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop. On the same level like this one.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u. I’ll double check my list and get the ones I don’t have added to it

[@Wolfgang-rules]

Much respect for Ren,he is an absolute artist that transcends time

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Definitely agree!

[@toddritchie9137]

Red Clubs were the thing back in the 1970s. Sit there drink your drink and listen to the music. Lots of soul back in those days. Not the rap or pop crap you get today. And the Artists could all sing back then. They had vocal skills!

[@RetroQuinReacts]

For sure! Those are some of the best vibes 🙏🏾

[@mrsdiana324]

Every reactor I have watched gets that same goofy smile when he starts singing he's so smooth lol

[@RetroQuinReacts]

lol he definitely got me 😅. He wayyyyy to smooth wit it

[@sigally]

Great reaction! With Ren, expect the unexpected. Ren is so versatile and loves all music genres, not everyone will love everything he does. A lot of people have said the scene reminds them of a jazz club.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

I agree. A lot of ppl like to box artists in, but whn they have versatility like Ren they still complain. I’ll never understand that, and it was definitely giving me Jazz vibes for sure

[@garyluciani1082]

Yea a little sax would be great with this.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Most definitely! I would love for him to do an acoustic version and throw the sax in wit it. It would take it to a completely different level

[@gcarap]

This was indeed shot in a pub in Brighton.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Fasho. Preciate ya

[@DavidPChristian2]

I would expect that's one of Brighton's more expensive bars, it's beautifully decorated. Back to 74 is a song by Jungle, their take is a good bit faster, and one of the songwriters said it's about a mythical place, like a 74th Street somewhere you knew as a kid. Ren's verses make it about the year, 1974 was a very good year indeed for me but those aren't stories for random Renegades.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

For sure. Thanks for sharing that info

[@michedber]

The Police first hit the scene in the mid to late 70s and Message in a Bottle is a big hit by them. Sting, the lead singer is a hero of Rens. Back on 74 is by a contemporary artist named Jungle and was released in 2023 and was a massive hit for them. It is more of a dance track than Ren's groovy version though still extremely groovy. The official Jungle video of Back in 74 is a one shot dance video and it is unbelievable. You have to check that out.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u so much for this info. I’ll definitely be checking it out for sure!

[@ifakerr8369]

Dope fusion check out Jungle Back On 74 Thank Ren after. 👍🏿🇬🇧

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Fasho! 💪🏾

[@traceybarger2628]

This one is pure sexy!

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Agreed!!!

[@malcfawcett2763]

2 cover songs with a Ren take on them, back in 74 and message in a bottle, with a Ren spin on things

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Gotta love it

[@docdurdin]

Quin, I hope you know who Motowns great Smokey Robinson was/is. That's Retro Ren. That's Valentino's Bar in Brighton Beach UK. An Art Deco themed club. Back on 74 is a tune by Jungle, more of an EDM beat. Ren heard the beat they were using is from Message in a Bottle by the Police, so he remixed it as he does.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Appreciate u for clarifying & breaking that down for me & I do kno Smokey Robinson. Not really up to par on his music too much tho

[@Lynxeye-Youtube]

It's a huge joy, isn't it?!... It's our ARTIST... Ren! So good! Thanks for the reaction.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Absolutely! Ren is amazing and ur welcome. Thanks for supporting the channel too 🙏🏾

[@darlinesly9364]

I hope you keep exploring the Renscape.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

I most definitely will!

[@PlymouthLad76]

Ren just heard you say Saxaphone and is now beating him self up 😂

[@RetroQuinReacts]

lol true story 😂. It would be so cool if he added the saxophone in another song later down the line

[@stevecody9878]

GENIUS ❤

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Absolutely 🙏🏾

[@mdh6977]

Totally an old school speakeasy kinda vibe

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Most definitely

[@kellyt5341]

Ren flops? I can honestly say I have never heard anyone say that or write that and I have watched 100's of reaction videos over the last yr. I heard a few times he is overrated or they just don't like him for what ever reason, but never heard he flopped an attempt at doing something new. Ren has perfected his "trying something new" before he ever releases a video. That is their opinion but most just seem jealous to me.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Perfectly said and I agree. It’s hard for a lot of artists to try new things, but Ren definitely got it mastered

[@fracker8258]

5:25 hey dude you’re thinking of lounge like a 1920 1940s lounge

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Fasho. Thank u for mentioning that. Those definitely the vibes

[@scottcourville7779]

If you haven’t done them yet; please do Chaulk Outlines, How to be me, Blind eye. All by Ren they have guest on the songs, 2 have Sam on it the other has Chinchilla on it

[@RetroQuinReacts]

I’ve done a few of them, but I definitely got more to go

[@cherylmack1260]

His bands were Trick the Fox and The big push.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u for reminding me. I couldn’t remember to save my life lol

[@Singlespeedjo]

You have the greatest smile! Great reaction. REN never disappoints ❤😊🔥

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u so much ❤️❤️😊. And I agree. Then hits every single time

[@RyanESmail]

Yes, he was in a band The Big Push, but to specify mention that “vibe type feeling” I would suggest checking out their “Wade in the Water/Nina Simone” cover first. Followed by “I Shot the Sherrif/Road to Zion/Hip-Hop” then maybe “Bongo Bong”

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u for those suggestions. I believe I got most of em written down already so I’ll be checking them out soon

[@iancollins65]

“Back on 74” is a song by modern electronic funk group Jungle. “Message in a Bottle” is a song by The Police.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Got it. Thanks for letting me kno that

[@erichburger1935]

I feel you on the sax thing. It's like well Ren, you got us here hangin' with you in the swanky lounge set, all that was needed is smoke in the rooms some mixed drinks, and some nasty sensual sax.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

lol true story. Its already amazing, but I believe that sax would have put it in another tier

[@carladicarlo3255]

Not sure if there was a meaning in Message in a Bottle but Sting is an inspiration of his. He does like to mash up different songs. I love this and loved your reaction!

[@midgetarmy154]

epic reaction - just for reference , 1974 is a song by jungle (he shout out in the song), he then added his own rap and then finished with the police message in a bottle - also the basic bass tones of message in a bottle throughout

[@midgetarmy154]

great feel good sound isn't it, love it

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Thank u so much and this was amazing! Ren gave me all the good vibes in this one song

[@gcarap]

This was a mash-iup though it was mostly Back on 74 by Jungle, he did Message In A Bottle by the Police at the end,

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Gotcha. I still need to go back and check out both songs

[@frankz-maroon]

I think you can detect the Message In A Bottle riff Ren plays at about 1:45 into the mash-up before they revert back to Back on 74 - a bit of musical candy pointing out that by slowing down both songs their melodies converge beautifully. Dude is a musical savant.

[@brigittemainella6412]

Check out Rens former band The Big Push two of my favorites are Bongo Bong (cover) and English Man In New York (cover) I think they are Rens best vocals so far. Only one other song his vocals were beautiful was Oh My Woman.

2 bangers rhat he loves jouned by sone naughty bars. He even worked the Message mysuc into the Backin 74 song. And he loves Sting and the Police. The Big Push did a great rendition of Englushman in New York, another Sting song. Another good Big Push song is What Kind Of Woman is this, which covers Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix and Muddy Waters.

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Fasho and thanks for making mention of those songs. I’ll have to check those out soon

[@Codex7777]

I'm surprised that you're so surprised that Ren can sing! Ren has incredible vocals, capable of multiple voices, styles and tones! I'm guessing that it's early days in your Ren journey, if you're surprised that Ren can sing. You haven't heard anything yet! Enjoy the ride! :)

[@RetroQuinReacts]

Most def lol. I’ve heard him sing here and there, but I think this one may have been a little more. His vocals are amazing tho 🔥

I like this breakdown. Yeah, The Big Push is his band which is taking a little hiatus from one another, but check out their most recent post, heart attack which I think they in the fall and that’s the last all day played on the streets together.

Yeah, a sax would have fit in, along with some strings and horns and.. .. .. NO, a masterpiece by any type of artist is a masterpiece for a reason.. they know when it is complete (even when seemingly unfinished). He may put out another version/remix as he has done on other tracks and use a sax, but it will have a totally different vibe and not be a chillout groove as this one is
