This just in from Arimtage Skanks very own Boywonder:
“This week we invite the Godfather of Breaks to the Studio to grace his skillz and show of his new flavas. After having him play for Skanks VS Supertronix at Jamm we just had to get him up to do a show. We have picked the perfect date too as the legendary TCR BBQ @ Lockside Lounge is just round the corner
“Son of a jazz trumpeter, Rennie grew up listening to Charlie Parker and playing various funk bands on tenor saxophone. Later after getting heavily into ‘black’ music he formed various funk bands playing sax and keyboards. Rennie’s musical infatuation took a big twist when he heard the sounds coming out of Detroit in the late ‘80s. After making rudimentary House music on the wrong kind of drum machines with soon to be Rhythm Section members Ellis Dee, Richard Thake and Nick ‘Newton Scott, they had interest from (amongst others) the new British house label Guerrilla. Preferring to release their own material they formed Rhythm Section Recordings and became part of the wave of breakbeat house that went on to become known as Hardcore in the early ‘90’s.
“Their third release ‘Comin’ On Strong’ was a anthem and would have charted top 40 if they’d known about ‘bar codes’ on records. With Ellis Dee the crowned king of rave Djs, Rhythm Section played at pretty much every main party between ’90-92’. On the same bill as The Prodigy, Moby, Altern 8, Shades Of Rhythm and Bizzare Inc. Their music was very big with pretty much every major DJ at the time, Fabio, Grooverider, Ray Keith, Carl Cox etc etc…
