Skool of Thought
with local support
Brewster / Rollin Connection / Guyno vs Little Evil / Lil MiSbreaks / Duckboy

The driving force behind the award winning Against The Grain & SuperCharged record labels and club nights, home to the likes of the Freestylers, Krafty Kuts, Splitloop and of course Skool Of Thought. He is the guy responsible for the enormous Paplo Gad “When I Was A Yout”, Groove Armada “Superstylin” and Beastie Boys “Fight For Your Right” breaks bootlegs. Described by IDJ magazine as “an underrated genius” for his Heavy Weight Breaks album and recognised by DJ magazine as helping form the “nu skool breaks” scene. Skool Of Thought is now set to release his debut artist album “Random Acts Of Kindness” on Against the Grain in October. It's time for a lesson from skool!

Around 8 years ago whilst flicking through some dusty vinyl in a Brighton record store, Skool Of Thought had a chance meeting with a certain DJ known as Krafty Kuts. After establishing a mutual respect for breaks the pair decided to get their heads together and start a club night to showcase new music and new talent. SuperCharged was born with the dynamic duo as resident DJs and the who’s who of the emerging breaks scene as guests, the night would later be recognised as a fundemental part of helping form the scene we now know as “breaks”. SuperCharged continues to run week in week out and last month was voted 21 in the top 50 club nights in the world. “If dance music is in decline then the 400 strong clubbers who turn up to SuperCharged every Wednesday missed an important meeting” added Source Magazine.

From this success Skool Of Thought and Krafty Kuts launched two record labels "Against The Grain" & "SuperCharged", two labels to cope with the volume of booty shaking music the pair had install! With Skool Of Thought as label manager they released a string of club smashers and enjoyed a succession of number 1 hits in DJ magazine’s beats & breaks chart. They won best new label at the 2003 Breakspoll Awards and later went on to sign the Freestylers. Last year the labels went in to overdrive with the Freestylers “Push Up’ single hitting top 10 in the 5 countries, most notabley in Australia where the song hit number 2 in the pop charts making it the biggest selling breaks tune ever with over 100,000 copies sold worldwide!

So when Skool Of Thought was not busy running club nights and record labels he was making the transition from DJ to producer with huge tracks such as “Sound Check” and “Feel The Music” and mixing the monumental “Heavyweight Breaks” album, all of which hit number 1 in DJ magazine’s beats & breaks chart and clocked up some serious sales. Fast forward to 2006 and Skool Of Thought is close to completing his debut artist album with studio partner Ed Solo for release on Against The Grain in October. The album takes a more musical and organic approach to breaks and promises to inject some soul back into the scene with it’s heavy dub reggae influences. “I’ve really enjoyed helping pioneer the bassline breaks sound but feel the need to explore more musical influences whilst retaining a dancefloor sensibility, much like Roni Size did with Reprazent a few years ago” explained Skool Of Thought.

Funny you should mention that.
Sold a customer a chair yesterday at work, with an adjustable head-rest, and told her it comes with two headrests if you are from Tasmania - no extra charge.

She smiled, coldly - then told me she was from Launceston.

Come down to my work mate, I got some grouse double-headed office chairs for ya, and say hello to your sister-mother for me.

Tasmanians are allright in my book.
It's one of the only countries in the world I haven't been too.

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 11:35 am

VOTE 1 TASMANIAN INDEPENDANCE!!

at least that way they wouldn't have to be part of the same country as Evil & Blackboard

Yeah mate, it runs from a tube to my dj bag. I give it a congratulatory squeeze when I'm changing records sometimes after I've done a good mix.

I thought I saw you down the park the other day fighting for chips with all the other web footed bastards!

This explains everything.

I'm spewing I'm playing beforehand, and can't knock out any hard breaks at all, but am still going to have a ball!!

I am actually in trying to figure out where to get a trolley for a bike that could handle carrying a record road case!! It would be great for Brunswick st gig!! And I could be truely trolleyed before I go home!!

Little Evil · Post by **Little Evil** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 12:05 pm

Set times?

Putting my bag together tonight, just want to have a good idea where I'm on at, and what needs to be played.

I think someone may have sent them to me, but can we have them up please?
