AGAINST THE GRAIN 2ND BIRTHDAY

Presented by Darkbeat & Rock Like This

Friday July 23rd @ Brown Alley


AQUASKY(OLD SKOOL BREAKS SET) (Passenger) [UK]
NAPT (Best Producer and Best Track at Breakspoll 2010) [UK]
Peo De Pitte (Finger Lickin) [UK]
Skool Of Thought (Against The Grain)[UK]


Against The Grain, Skool Of Thought’s label night has previously held residencies in Fabric, London and Supercharged in Brighton. He has expanded his concept to Brown Alley in Melbourne and has been responsible for the resurgence of breakbeat in this city. Previous shows have included Stanton Warriors, Freestylers , Drumattic Twins Deekline, Cntrl Z, Splitloop, Kid Kenobi and many more.

Come celebrate two years of hard and dedication for a ultra massive lineup on Friday July 23 for Against The Grain’s second birthday with Aquasky, NAPT, Peo De Pitte and Skool Of Thought.

AQUASKY

The trio are back after a year locked down in the studio creating fresh and innovative sonic assaults after re-assessing their position in the UK dance scene. Things work in cycles and for Aquasky those cycles are pinned down by the infamous number 7. A number that has followed them for many years now. A lucky number that encourages prosperity and creativity.

After debuting back in 1995, Aquasky spent 7 years creating Drum & Bass for many key labels including Moving Shadow, Reinforced & Good Looking. In the late 90's they were hooked on a new sound, a breakbeat sound that reminded them of their old days raving at the free parties. Not content with the breakbeat that was on offer at the time the guys wrote the seminal 'bassline breaks' track titled 777 for Botchit & Scarper. The label, pleased with the success of the single, signed them for an album and in 2002 'Beat The System', the bands 5th album, was released to critical claim. Fusing breakbeat’swith 4/4 rhythms and old school sounds with a healthy dose of d&b basslines the band started a sub-genre of breakbeat that is still going strong today.

NAPT

Image

NAPT, aka Ashley Pope and Tomek Naden, are a multi-award winning British electronic dance music production and DJ duo whose popularity has rocketed in the last 2 years. Their self coined N-Funk sound is a heady concoction of breakbeat, electro and house spawned from the UK underground and informed by a keen ear for the tasteful end of the commercial spectrum.
NAPT's first releases were remixes for major label artists Lumidee and Jon Cutler. NAPT then went on to release a slew of chart topping and critically acclaimed tracks on a host of labels including the award winning Funkatech Records, Sony Records, Fingerlickin Records and more, which have been consistently played on Radio 1, Kiss FM, Triple J etc and featured in major online and offline press including DJ Mag, iDJ, Mixmag, inthemix etc; from the top selling and award winning singles "Gotta Have More Cowbell" and "Make My Day" which have to date racked up over 15,000 sales, to remixes and collaborations with electro-pop act Kish Mauve (Kylie Minogue fame), Mercury Prize nominee MJ Cole, Dubstep luminary G-Double from Anti-Social crew, British drum and bass MC Skibadee, UK soul legend Mica Paris and rising UK Urban star Ashley “Bashy” Thomas.

PEO DE PITTE

Peo De Pitte hails from the city of Stockholm, Sweden. After moving to London Peo have also been running his very own label FlatOut Records, the main home for releases of his two aliases Peo de Pitte and Haggstrom.

His trademark combination of rare groove beats and cutting edge synth action has resulted in making Peo one of the most exciting new producers to emerge. With remixes and releases on labels including Fingerlickin’, Global Underground, LOT49, U&A, Defected, Frenetic and Champion Records it is no surprise that he has won huge support worldwide. His hailed remix of Sidney Samson – Riverside has done over 60 000 downloads and counting!

In just one year he managed to have exclusive mixsets on both Radio1 and Kiss100 UK as well as massive support from the likes of: Sinden, Laidback Luke, Fake Blood, Crookers, Jamie Fanatic, Loose Cannons, Trevor Loveys, MJ Cole, Calvertron, Matt Darey, James Zabiela, Kissy Sell Out, Stonebridge, Micky Slim, Elite Force, Jaymo, Tony Senghore, Evil 9, Foamo, Andy George, Nom De Strip, Stupid Fresh, Matt Darey, Plump DJ's, Afrojack, DJ Icey, Tittsworth, Meat Katie, Utah Saints, NAPT and others…

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...

Normally I'd be all over this like a funky rash, but because I'm getting up at stupid o'clock on weekdays, and the good DJs are never on until even stupider o'clock, I know I won't last much past pumpkin o'clock.
