KRAFTY KUTS "AGAINST THE GRAIN" 2xCD OUT NOW!!



Mail-Order Now From:



Following the release of Krafty Kuts’ hugely successful ‘FabricLive 34’ and ‘Back To Mine’ mix CDs which gave listeners an insight into his roots in turntablism and crate digging, Against The Grain Records is proud to present this new compilation of exclusive “re-rubs” which merges Krafty Kuts’ remix skills with his DJ prowess.



Ever since the early days of dance music, house pioneers, such as Danny Krivit and Larry Levan, and hip hop producers, such as Double D & Steinski, DJs have made their own re-edits of tracks to add an element of exclusiveness to their sets. Usually however, those edits remain unreleased, never to see the light of day. So, it is with great pleasure and the kind help of many artists and record labels, we are able to release this CD containing 19 of Krafty Kuts’ finest, unreleased re-edits which have been igniting his sets over the past year. With artists such as Twocker, Bass Kleph, Miles Dyson, Tim Healy, Black Noise, Mickey Slim, DJ Dan and Stupid Fresh we see Krafty Kuts give some big house hits a breakbeat makeover with devastating effect.



For the bonus disc, Krafty Kuts had “an immense amount of fun” producing a mix of Against The Grain classics, looking back over the past decade at some of the biggest tunes to come out of dance music on this killer record label which he is proud to be a part of. For this CD he’s chopped, tweaked, mixed, mashed and krafted 28 of the label’s best bangers in to 1 hour of blissful breaks. From the sexy, chart topping sounds of Freestylers ‘Push Up’ to a dubstep mix of his ‘Bass Phenomenon’ anthem, and from the thrashing drum n bass of Freestylers v Pendulum ‘Painkiller’ to Ed Solo & Skool Of Thought’s ‘We Play The Music’ summer sizzler. This double CD ensures Krafty Kuts has all bases covered.



DEEKLINE & WIZARD "BACK UP, COMING THROUGH" OUT NOW!!



Against The Grain Records, the label behind the Freestylers and Krafty Kuts are proud present the bootylicous, new album “Back Up, Coming Through” by Deekline & Wizard. With a joint résumé littered with top ten hits, high profile production and studio work (for Xpress 2, Chemical Brothers, DJ Fresh, M.I.A, Lady Sovereign and more), acclaimed remixes for the likes of Armand Van Helden, Freestylers and the Prodigy, plus a debut album smash in the form of ‘Breaks, Beats & Blondes’, there is no questioning Deekline & Wizard’s pedigree.



“Unparalleled speaker-smashing, arse-wiggling perfection, that sets them apart from almost any other underground act”. DJ Magazine - Album Of The Month *****

ED SOLO & SKOOL OF THOUGHT:



If you had to list the top 10 hottest DJ / producers in breaks over the past 12 months, Ed Solo and Skool of Thought would be dead certs for a podium finish. Hotter than an aerobics class held in a sauna with the central heating cranked up to the max, both have individually cemented a reputation for laying down insane tracks and killer DJ sets across the globe. Since joining forces, however, they have provided a host of huge singles, including 'When I Was a Yout,' 'Love Your Life' and 'Babylon Breaks', along with the thundering remixes of Groove Armada's 'Superstylin' and Freestylers v Pendulum 'Painkiller' which have seen them in high demand for production work as well as for DJing. Their debut album 'Random Acts Of Kindness' has whipped up a press frenzy with DJ Mag, IDJ, Knowledge, EQ, Beatmag and lots more all printing features on this dynamic duo!
