TCR

London based TCR is acknowledged as the pioneering label for the much touted 'Nu Skool Breakz' scene. Set up by Rennie Pilgrem its purpose was to provide a solo output outside his membership of the much respected Rhythm Section. In operation since 1993 TCR emerged from the dying embers of the UK hardcore breakbeat scene which had disappeared up it's own arse after 4 groundbreaking years. While hardcore split into "Happy Hardcore" (the less said about that the better) and jungle, TCR took the speed back to house tempo and kicked things off with 'Rock Da House' by Thursday Club.After a few releases that were basically house with the odd break sneaking in, it was a trip to Florida in '94 that opened Rennie's ears to a world of breaks mixed with electro and acid and house. Since 1994 breaks have formed the backbone to the label with 1995's 'A Place Called Acid' being a Worldwide underground hit with sales of 15,000.TCR is now recognized as one of the scene’s most respected and loved labels. With a roster that includes such heavyweights as Rennie Pilgrem, B.L.I.M., Koma&Bones, Chris Carter, 2Sinners, Breakneck, Vigi, JDS, General Midi and Arthur Baker, TCR continues to go from strength to strength. 2003 saw the 10year anniversary of TCR and that coupled with the impending 100th release is testament to this. TCR have just released the TCR 100 album - 2xcds' - one with new & upfront releases mixed by Rennie Pilgrem and a bonus 'Classic TCR' cd which will be the first in a series.
