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.
