We compare magnetotransport measurements under pressure on the organic superconductor $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$Cu(SCN)$_{2}$ with different pressure-media and discover that the results are pressure media dependent. This pressure-medium dependence is thought to originate from the difference in thermal contraction between the very soft and highly anisotropic sample and the isotropically contracting, but solid pressure medium, thus resulting in non-hydrostatic pressure on the sample. However, comparison of pressure measurements with different media reveals a pressure-medium independent correlation between the superconducting transition temperature, T$_{\rm c}$, and the size of the quasi 2-dimensional Fermi surface pocket and thus the quasi 2-dimensional carrier density in $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$Cu(SCN)$_{2}$. The observed pressure-induced increase in the quasi 2-dimensional carrier density can be interpreted as a transfer of carriers from quasi 1-dimensional Fermi surface sections, reminiscent of a mechanism in cuprate superconductors, where pressure is known to transfer carriers from the insulating charge reservoir layers into the conducting cuprate sheets.
