In July 2011, after a year of inactivity, it was announced that Renaissance had been reborn, with founder and original owner Geoff Oakes guiding the brand. After a large period of activity, they ceased operations once again on 23 September 2014.^[1][2] In July 2017, they released a new digital remix of Age of Love's song "The Age of Love" by Solomun that went to world No. 1 on the electronic music charts.^[3]

In 2018, media and finance entrepreneur Scott Rudmann acquired a majority stake in the label and began working in partnership with Oakes.^[4] Renaissance label released a series of remixes of iconic dance music singles in collaboration with some of the world's leading electronic music producers, all of which went to a chart position of No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3. These singles include Cafe del Mar (Tale of Us remix), Bladerunner (Maceo Plex remix), Sacred Cycles (Adam Beyer and Bart Skills remix). [needs to be updated with additional remix list]^{[citation needed]}

Since 2018, the record label has released over forty singles on the main label and new Bauhaus sublabel, with over thirty top ten singles on various Beatport genre lists. The company has arranged and promoted over forty events since 2018, including large scale festival style events in Tulum, Mexico in partnership with Zamna. Renaissance has arranged club nights in over ten countries, including Israel.^{[citation needed]}

In 2024, the operations of the business, catalog, and trademark ownership were acquired in full by Scott Rudmann in a new company named Renaissance Music. Marcus James has been the head of AnR and the lavel operations for twenty years and continues in his role to date.^[5][6]

In October 2024, the label announced that for the first time, its library of over one hundred mixes dating from 1994 would be made available on the Apple Music Dj Mixes platform.^[7] The first release 'The Mix Collection; Volume One consists of a three-CD set of three mixes by Sasha (DJ) and John Digweed and was the first album in the history of electronic music to become a gold record with over 100,000 copies sold in 1994.^{[citation needed]} The mixes comprise a three-hour and forty minute electronic music composition, recorded using vinyl records and the most advanced sound technology of the time.^[8]
