Established in 1993 TCR is acknowledged as the pioneering label for the much touted 'Nu Skool Breakz' scene & is run by original Rhythm Section member Rennie Pilgrem.

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 put out over  100 releases and is currently taking an extended holiday.

But fear not Rennie is making music again and is currently concentrating on albums. 

During lockdown Rennie made his first album for a decade ‘Movers & Shakers’ followed a year later by ‘This Is The Way’. A third album ‘I Got The Sound’ is finished and being mastered for a September release. All three albums have some of his signature breaks led club tracks but also explore his funk, dub and jazz influences.

The Freestylers: 28 Years of Bass, Beats & Global Anthems

With a career spanning nearly three decades, the Freestylers—Aston Harvey and Matt Cantor—have made their mark on the electronic dance music scene. From playing the world’s biggest festivals and clubs to appearing on Top of the Pops, they’ve remained at the forefront of the genre without ever standing still.

Origins & Breakthrough

Aston Harvey began as an engineer and producer, working with Rebel MC / Congo Natty and co-producing the jungle classic Spiritual Aura with DJ Rap. Matt Cantor, meanwhile, was part of Strike, co-producing the dance hit U Sure Do. The two met at Fresh Records, bonding over their love of hip-hop, electro, and breakbeats, leading to the birth of the Freestylers.

Their debut album brought them international success, with hits like B-Boy Stance and Ruffneck landing in the UK, Dutch, and German Top 20. A major US record deal followed, leading to a spot on Lenny Kravitz’s American Woman tour and a legendary Glastonbury 1999 performance.

Global Hits & Reinvention

Over the years, they’ve released a string of anthems, from Push Up, a #1 hit in Australia, Holland, and Belgium, to Cracks, which became a dubstep classic with 80+ million streams. They’ve also collaborated with Pendulum and held festival residencies worldwide.

In 2025, they’re set to release their seventh studio album, Enter the Sound—a collaboration with Dub Pistols featuring reggae legends like General Levy and Tippa Irie. With a packed schedule of festivals, remixes, and new music, the Freestylers are still going strong. In the words of LL Cool J: “Don’t call it a comeback—they’ve been here for years!”
