Hmmm. Since this implies you're getting a bit bored with my music I have 
to answer :-)

I don't think the program sounds in any particular way, and I can't 
think of any "renoise tricks". But two things might make renoisers 
sounds similar:

1) The simple fact that people with similar musical goals are attracted 
to the program. Makes sense for a not-so-general-daw as renoise (I 
wouldn't record my jazz quintet with it, for instance).

2) The community is sharing their music, much like we do here, and 
although there's a lot I don't care so much for, there's some that 
really inspires me. It might work the same way for others.

An example of something that changed for me it master compression. When 
doing the first album I swore I wouldn't take part of the loudness war, 
and no master compression was used. Now I realize that on most tracks on 
the new album, the sound I hear in my head involves quite heavy (for my 
standards at least) master compression. My involvement in the renoise 
comunity, might play a role in that. But it's not really renoises (or 
the communitys) fault, just something I picked up and decided had to be 
a part of my music.
