Rennie Pilgrem – Street Legal 2

On September 26, 2010, in downloads, music news, video, by D-Monic

‘It ain’t where you’re at, it’s where you’re from’. Rennie Pilgrem goes further back to his roots than ever and then brings his influences into 2010. Street Legal 2 (another double EP) rolls with dub, blues, and even Jazz influences underpinned by Rennie’s love of tough beats. Plenty of dancefloor but some tracks are more for your ears than your feet. After the success of ‘Street Legal 1‘ which won fans from pirate stations as well as Radio 1 and Kiss et al.

The funk is currently keeping Rennie pretty busy. He’s just finishing scoring his first film which includes plenty of 70′s influences plus he’s remixed Caper‘s forthcoming single ‘Something Else‘ for Distinctive. Also as one half of the Bush Doctors (with Jem Stone) he’s remixed the CB’s next single ‘The Finding‘. Incidentally, look out for the Bush Doctor’s second release ‘Night Train‘ which is available now.

Rennie is currently at work creating a ‘Nu Funk‘ Sample collection for the Loopmasters Producer series.

Street Legal 2 is out on TCR.

Hubbz-a Hubbz-a

On May 24, 2010, in downloads, mixes, by D-Monic

OK… so I met Hubbz many years ago.  I remember him most as one of the engineers for my 1Groove.com radio show.  Those late nights were fun times.  :)

So, he moved to Vancouver one day, and it was only after that that I really noticed his DJ ability (sadly).

I got a CD from him once and it blew my mind.  I put it in the car and didn’t take it out for MONTHS.  The only reason I took it out was because Skool Of Thought demanded that I give it to him to take back to the UK with him.

So, I saw he’s got a new blend done that’s pretty fun!


Dynamite MC vs Damian Marley – Hubbz In The Attic Blend

Download that and enjoy. Also, you should check this mix too. This has been ‘pon di ‘pod for ages. Still listen to it often. Git It!

Rennie PilgremShocking and Exciting all rolled into one. Nuschool Breaks figurehead Rennie Pilgrem has all but disappeared off the radar as of late, but then… as expected… BAM!

Change the game again, Rennie!! Lead the charge!

New double EP on it’s way in mid-March.

READ THIS:

This double EP represents a bit of a musical departure for Mr Pilgrem. Increasingly bored with making music with nasty noises, he has firmly rediscovered his love of funk and this is the first of a musical series that is all about the good groove regardless of tempo (but created in a modern context). This increasingly talked-about ‘new genre’ has also become known as Nu Funk. (See the forthcoming edition of iDJ and Tillate for features).

‘Dance With Me’ is a collaboration with Australian singer Arianne Shreiber from the cult band Icon. They met after she provided backing vocals for Rennie’s collaboration with Sopranos theme tune writer Larry Love (which is on this EP in dub form as 555). There are real horns arranged by Canadian sax legend Andrew Spence (Hold On/555). Guitar from William ‘Hustle’ South, plus a whole lot of grooviness. There is also a rare dub version of Rennie’s much requested track with ChickabooCelebrity

Rennie is also pursuing a similar musical direction as one half of Bush Doctors with Jem Stone from Finger Lickin’. Their first release was played right across the DJ spectrum. Rennie is currently hard at work scoring his first feature film ‘The Fix’ (he acts in it also) and writing music for TV. He is just back from a very successful Tour of Australia and New Zealand where the Nu Funk sound wowed crowds from Perth to Auckland.
