Against The Grain presents

Stanton Warriors (Against The Grain,UK)

Skool Of Thought (Against The Grain, UK)

Nick Thayer (Passenger, AUS)

Friday Jan 21 @ Brown Alley

Proudly presented by: Darkbeat, Rock Like This, and Mixed Messages.

Against The Grain is back, after a capacity show that brought the house down with KRAFTY KUTS, we are very pleased to Welcome the mighty Stanton Warriors back to Melbourne, for all those who witnessed their killer show 2 years ago, be prepared this SHOW WILL SELL OUT.

STANTON WARRIORS:

One way or another you've probably already come into contact with the Stanton Warriors. For some time it's most likely it was underfoot as the market leader in drain covers. In recent years though, it's more likely to be from one of the most popular and distinctive dance DJ, production and remix outfits about, Mark Yardley & Dominic B - the Stanton Warriors.

True pioneers of a sound that broke all the rules, Stanton Warriors took breaks and twisted it beyond all recognition, dropping speaker shattering bass lines and massive beats…all to devastating effect. Producing and remixing the likes of Big Daddy Kane, Fat Boy Slim, Basement Jaxx and Missy Eliott, plus releasing classic albums such as the Stanton Sessions and FabricLive 30, it’s easy to see why they are regarded as the number 1 heavyweights of breaks.

SKOOL OF THOUGHT

Living between the UK and Australia, Skool Of Thought is the owner and label manager behind the award winning Against The Grain & SuperCharged Music record labels - home to the likes of the Freestylers, Krafty Kuts, Splitloop, Ed Solo and of course Skool Of Thought. He is the guy responsible for the enormous Groove Armada 'Superstylin' and Freestylers v Pendulum 'Painkiller' breaks remixes. He has appeared on the front cover of 3D magazine in Australia, described by IDJ magazine as 'an underrated genius' and recognized by DJ magazine as helping form the 'nu skool breaks' scene. He has produced countless breakbeat monsters over the years including Heavyweight Breaks Volumes 1 & 3, Breakspoll 3, numerous 12" singles and is currently celebrating the success of his debut artist album with Ed Solo entitled 'Random Acts Of Kindness'. To top it all off he has just launched a third label called 'Cool & Deadly' with Tayo. Phew! Time to take a lesson from Skool...

NICK THAYER

We should dub Nick somet’ing hip hop, highballing and staunch like Rubik Exclusive. But, Nick it is, or Thayer or Thayos, or just Nicko when you need a remix done. I chose Rubik Exclusive because currently there is no other DJ who drops a more mixed up, OG, 100% exclusive set than Thayofanus. EVERY TRACK HE PLAYS he has touched. Blogs don’t have it, kids can’t get it, average Joe wants it, but alas that’s what people pay to hear. Expect a set to be his edit, his exclusive, his new one, his remix, his mash up, his lick shot one time air horn. It’s got his funk “all over your face”. Damn I just heard his Mario Bros Vs Too Short mash again on our National Radio station. What made you think that Too Short has anything to do with a bunch of turtle stompin, digital, Italian laborer’s?. They all put in work. Ok, I know that the results send kids wild but…
