Breakbeat legend Rennie Pilgrem has just released a great new track called Xtravaganza, radiating 90s nostalgia into the bones of partygoers and rave enthusiasts. It’s delayed brass loops set the scene before a low key, hip-hop inspired beat gives way to some funky breaks that deliver 3-minutes of foot-tapping breakbeat goodness. Retro-sounding, yet fresh and inspired, one for your Xmas party playlists…
Breakbeat veteran Rennie Pilgrem released a slew of records in the early 90s as part of the legendary hardcore rave outfit Rhythm Section, along with DJ Ellis Dee, Richie T and Nick ‘Newton’ Scott. Their popular EP Comin’ On Strong featuring lead track ‘Feel The Rhythm’ went on to sell over 25,000 copies on vinyl. Check out some old-school action below…
Among his many releases, Rennie became an award-winning remixer for scores of artists. He also started the seminal club night Friction with Adam Freeland, Tayo Papoola and Ian Williams. It coined the genre ‘New School Breaks’ (Nu Skool Breaks) and culminated at London superclub Fabric. Rennie’s live band The TCR Allstars featuring MC Chickaboo, William South, Richard Thair (Red Snapper) and Chris Carter featured within the Top 100 best ever performances at Glastonbury.
