Against The Grain w/ Stanton Warriors (UK) & Skool Of Thought (UK) Nov 27 Brown Alley

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

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…
