RENNIE PILGREM | 140

TCR

One of the standout moments of the recent Breakspoll awards ceremony in good old London town was a startling 140 jungle (or nu-jungle as we're calling it until somebody comes up with a better name) set from the mighty Rennie Pilgrem, accompanied by the ever-energetic MC Chikaboo. Chatting to Rennie recently, it seems he's become a little disillusioned with the breaks scene's descent into techier realms, hence his dabbling in the nascent nufunk scene. However, the jungle vibes, with all that room for melodic interaction in amongst the breakbeats and basslines, appears to be right up Mr Pilgrem's street, and he's embracing the new sound like a duck to water.
Don't believe us? Check us this new mix - basically the same set he played at Breakspoll and a selection which was by far the best of the night. It genuinely stands out as the work of a DJ who really knows his shizzle. Hit the download button and enjoy the sound of the future. (as you can read @ This Is Breaks)

JEM STONE | 1 TRACK & 1 REMIX

JEM STONE .uk

Jem Stone is the alter-ego of producer, DJ, artist and filmmaker Jem Panufnik, but you might know him as co-founder and the creative force behind the legendary label Finger Lickin’ Records. Releasing singles and DJing as Soul of Man, Prophets of Sound and Bush Doctors amongst many other guises, Jem is also responsible for the inimitable Finger Lickin’ artwork.

As his Mr Stone alias, Jem has an avenue for all his creative projects that defy genres, categories, rules and often sanity. He has released stomping house tracks in collaboration with Elite Force and Lee Coombs, twisted disco alongside JC, had releases on Finger Lickin’, Thrust and Washington DC’s premier funk label Fort Knox. As a remixer Mr Stone has sprinkled his jazzy dubby funk over tracks by Kraak & Smaak, Smoove & Turrell, Rennie Pilgrem, Drumattic Twins and Lindy Layton.

Add to this a plethora of specially commissioned TV and film music for BBC, Sky, Five, UKLiving, Channel 4 plus numerous soundtracks for live shows including contemporary dance pieces at The Place in London, The Alternative Hair Show at Royal Albert Hall, fashion shows from Sydney to Singapore and most recently the street dance-meets-circus show Cacophony which toured UK theatres last year. To sample Jem Stone's visual and musical treats, head over to the Youtube link below.

Lately Jem has found a home for his jazzier flappier side at a Brighton label whose philosophy is not far from his own. Freshly Squeezed Music is at the forefront of the nicely bubbling electro swing scene, which means it’s the perfect springboard for Jem’s ragtime-with-beats passion.

Now let me see those jazz hands, people…

RENNIE PILGREM | NUFUNK MIX

RENNIE PILGREM .uk

Rennie Pilgrem needs no further introduction and with 15+ years presence on the world dance scene, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight a few new exciting facts.

After a life long commitment to a scene that is widely known as 'breaks', building his name both as a solo artist as well as a creative force behind his live outfit TCR Allstars and of course making TCR the longest running breaks label to date, mr Pilgrem is taking 2010 in a whole new direction.

NuFunk is an exciting underground sound that began simply as a bootleg scene and is fast becoming an international platform for all things mid tempo and ultra-funky. IDJ Magazine is highlighting this exciting new genre in their forthcoming February issue (out now), with Rennie being tipped off as one of the main players and the one to look out for in 2010. With his own NuFunk EP entitled 'Street Legal' coming out in February on TCR and reviewed in this month's issue of IDJ Magazine, he is certainly set to take things one step further in 2010, and this is the opportunity to make sure you are one of the first promoters to get involved.

Rennie has taken this exciting brand of modern funk sound on the road already, and has just returned from a Tour of Australia and New Zealand. Equally at home in Main Rooms, Second Rooms and at Festivals and VIP Rooms, Rennie’s new ‘Grass Roots’ style is super-fresh party-friendly and is guaranteed to get your dance floor moving.
