TC - Essential Mix @ BBC Radio 1 [19-01-2008]

2007 has undoubtedly been TC’s year, verified by sales, awards, great press coverage, and extensive club and radio support from dance music’s elite. Each of the singles taken from his debut album ‘Evolution’ topped both BBC Radio 1’s national dance chart and BBC 1Xtra’s drum & bass chart. TC has garnered unprecedented radio support from Zane Lowe (the album was his record of the week) Annie Mac, Jo Whiley, Pete Tong, Mary Ann Hobbs, Grooverider, Eddy Temple Morris and DJ Hype.
TC left school and jumped straight into the studio with his Atari ST and sampler and started making music, before catching the ear of master producer Dillinja, who released some of TC’s early tracks on his Valve label.
TC draws a lot of inspiration from the music he heard growing up in St Paul’s, Bristol - a vibrant inner city community famed for its West Indian carnival, as much as its history of riots and ghetto vibes. ‘St Paul’s is cool’, says TC. ‘You hear a lot of music. I can’t say I’ve never had trouble there, because I have, but I think that kind of thing just teaches you to keep your eyes open.’
TC feels very strongly that, despite his success, his work is far from over, and plans to spend many more nights ‘in the lab’ until everything is just right. In his own words, ‘the minute you get lazy, the whole thing falls apart around your ears. Sound is something that never stands still, it’s a vibration, if you want to work with sound, you’ve got to keep moving.’
