“In 1993, Rennie started TCR Recordings to release his own material through. It was the underground Dance anthem ‘A Place Called Acid’ that got Pilgrem internationally noticed as a producer and DJ. In 1996, Rennie created an event named ‘Friction’, he described the music policy as ‘Nu Skool Breaks’ and gave a name to the movement that became established worldwide. Support from Nuts ‘n’ Bolts DJs Dale Martin, Tommohawk, Andy Nuttall and Jmige. £12.50 advance, more on the door. 18+. 8pm-2.30am.
