Renaissance Man are a duo based between Berlin and Helsinki, whose work has been released on labels like Made to Play, Sound Pellegrino and Turbo, who housed the group’s debut album The Renaissance Man Project. Their sound falls somewhere between house, electro and hip-hop, with wild sample sources and 180-degree melodic turns scattered throughout their music. Recently, the group have been producing for Mykki Blanco’s forthcoming debut album; watch Ville Haimala (Renaissance Man’s Berlin-based member) take the challenge above.
