Roger McKenzie (1 January 1971 - 25 November 1995), also known under his production aliases of Wildchild or DJ Wildchild, was an English musician and DJ. Born in Southampton, England, he released many singles on labels such as Hi Life Recordings, Ultra Records, and Polydor (UK). Of these labels the singles "Jump to My Beat", "Renegade Master" and the subsequent "Renegade Master 98" were his most distinguished. Fatboy Slim's Old Skool Mix is perhaps the most famous version of "Renegade Master 98".
Just before his death from an undiagnosed heart condition, he formed his own record label "Dark & Black".
