Originally formed as a HipHop group in 1985 Milton Keynes, DJ Halo, DJ Spatts, MC Iceski, Chase 1, Safe D, and CMD form one of a handful of pioneering Hip Hop crews from the UK that formed outside of London or any other major UK city. The crew self-funded and released their first mini-album Guilty As Charged in 1990 and followed up shortly after with the EP Tales From the Wasteland. Both were hailed by the hip hop scene around the world for their ahead of its time rap delivery and diverse use of samples. By the late 1980s TCM along with several other generational peers were pioneering a unique form of UK Hip Hop music that would later be defined as Britcore. As the rave scene gained momentum from 1991 they mutated to fuse their hip hop style with Breakbeat Hardcore which resulted in what is regarded as an all-time classic of the genre Baptised By Dub. Prolific output including tracks such as The Criminal and Joyrider II cemented their influence on the burgeoning scene and the rest is history. An anthology/compilation of The Criminal Minds hip hop output was retrospectively released in 2011 on Aphex Twins’ Rephlex Records label. A brand new album 'Genre Non-Specific' is slated for release before the end of 2023 on Kniteforce Records.

Q-PROJECT (aka Total Science), HORNSEY HARDCORE, DJ RATTY, ELLIS DEE and ANNA PRANK fill in the main room support with no need for any introductions; 100% high octane jungle techno energy all night long. Room 2 delves a little deeper into the offshoots with support from THE JUNGLE CONNOISSEUR, ADM DISSONANCE, BETSY-MAE & LIZLA, TALLBOI[LIVE] & HUMMINGBIRD DJS
This is very much the biggest Jungle Techno lineup Bristol has seen for some time, make no mistake these are the masters, an underground experience the way it used to be, hardcore.
