Breakbeat pioneer Rennie Pilgrem playing Novation X-Station
Long time Novation user Rennie Pilgrem is one of the leading figures in electronic music and a pioneer of the international Breakbeat scene. His latest album, ‘Skin’, is breaking the mould by being the first release you can buy with your mobile for less than the price of a drink.
Owner of the increasingly popular ‘Thursday Club Recordings’ label, Rennie has barely had a moment’s rest since the release of his last album ‘Pilgremage’ in 2004. Since then, he has gone around the World three times DJ’ing and written multiple pieces of music for the video game market and advertising, all whilst producing his own weekly radio show on Galaxy as well as co-running the Breaksday Tent at The Glade Festival and its spin-off little brother STIR!
The Novation X-Station has been the centre piece of Rennie’s performing and producing rig for some years now, with its audio interfacing capabilities streaming out beats from Ableton Live, whilst the synth is used for fat basslines and jazzy melodies. His Breaks band ‘The TCR Allstars’ have caused a massive stir with their successful fusion of live musicians (Rennie on X-Station/laptop, Rich Thair on drums, William South on bass, Imogen Brown on violin, and MC Chickaboo and Bella Saer on vocals) and sequenced beats. The band has achieved worldwide recognition now, having toured in the UK, including playing at Glastonbury Festival, and across Europe.
Rennie’s third artist album, ‘Skin’, will be sold in nightclubs via an SMS code that enables gig goers to download the album for a mere £3. The price is then added to their phone bill, with no need for a creditcard!
Twelve tracks of mainly ‘dance floor heaven’ lean heavily towards the live sound he has been perfecting with ‘The TCR Allstars’. After only 2 years and only a handful of gigs, they have joined the ranks of such luminaries as ‘The Chemical Brothers’, ‘The Bays’ and ‘Pendulum’ as one of the ‘20 best live electronic acts to see’ (iDJ magazine).
‘Skin’ will be officially launched on Friday 9th May 2008 at STIR, a psychadelic, breaks-fuelled night for the Glade festival community, taking place at Heaven in Charing Cross. The secondary launch is then happening 8 days later on the 17th May at Bumper in Liverpool.
