Rennie Pilgrem – LIVE @ Breakspoll 2011

March 6, 2015March 6, 2015 pecoe

The International Breakspoll Awards for 2015 are tomorrow night, March 7th 2015 and what better way to get you in the right mood by hearing an exclusive LIVE mix from Rennie Pilgrem recorded back at the Breakspoll awards in 2011.

Known as “The Godfather of Breaks” Rennie Pilgrem’s contribution to the early Nuskool Breaks scene is outstanding and given this title is often considered responsible for the creation of the Nuskool Breaks genre. Before moving into breaks Rennie produced techno and acid house and was part of the influential rave group Rhythm Section along with Ellis Dee. Rennie is also the boss of Thursday Club Recordings aka TCR a label which he founded in 1993. TCR records was a major force in the Nuskool Breaks scene. Now concentrating more on his talented art skills Rennie has stepped back from the dance scene and continues to produce some great works of art.

PYRAMID – LIVE @ Breakspoll 2011

March 1, 2015March 1, 2015 pecoe

PYRAMID are the duo Nicky D’Silva and Scott Maclean, long acquainted studio partners and good mates the pair are seasoned live performers. Their sound has evolved into a melting pot of beats and basslines set at around 140bpm. Be it breaks, dubstep or anything in between but originally grounded in breakbeat. Rising to fame from signing and releasing various tracks on the Funkatech label the duo have toured the world and have had production work commissioned for Polydor signing Roxxxan, Mercury’s Dot Rotten alongside TMS, Sony’s latest sensation Jagga, Tiesto’s Black Hole imprint and dubstep giants Dub Police.

This LIVE set was recorded back in 2011 at the Breakspoll awards held at Cable nightclub, with a set of 140bpm rinsing rhythms and basslines at the time, a sure crowd pleaser.

This LIVE set has never before been available for public download, enjoy my friends !

Elite Force – LIVE @ Breakspoll 2011

February 27, 2015February 27, 2015 pecoe

Elite Force aka Simon Shackleton has been in the electronic music scene for well over 15 years from his early beginnings in a band (Headless Chickens) with the well known Thom Yorke of Radiohead fame to his early electronic music beginnings with Lunatic Calm. Elite Force is a true professional which has seen him tour on every corner of the globe and gather a large fan base over the years.

This LIVE mix was recorded at the Breakspoll awards back in 2011, right around the time the Tech Funk Breaks genre was gaining momentum. Elite Force won 2 Breakspoll awards that night, one for Best Producer and one for Best Label (for his highly regarded U&A imprint). The mix itself is a great journey of breakbeat music and one of the stand out sets of the night.

Deekline – LIVE @ Breakspoll 2011

February 20, 2015February 20, 2015 pecoe

Thanks to the folks at Breakspoll i have a few mixes to share over the coming weeks. All these mixes were recorded LIVE and direct at Cable nightclub back in 2011 and i have been told these mixes have never been heard by the public before. Some of the mixing (well it is LIVE) is a bit, dare i say it, below par but that doesnt take away the fact that the experience and atmosphere on the night would have been amazing.

First up in the series of mixes is Deekline a true UK legend in the breaks scene and a contributor in a whole bunch of top tunes throughout the years. Check out Deekline
on his own Wiki page : www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deekline

Tickets are still available for this years awards !
