Runaway is the collaboration between DJs Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral, whose tribal disco house sound is so sincere, intense, and DIY that they've been a key ingredient in DFA's second wave. Their "Brooklyn Club Jam" single was widely-considered one of 2008's sickest bangers, 2009 found them remixing a slew of tracks, and 2010 will see the arrival of their debut album. DJ Mario Cotto will be premiering an exclusive mix from the duo during his show THIS Saturday, between 8 and 10pm. The mix will be posted online in our archives on Monday here
