Things are getting pretty busy here at Against The Grain in preparation for the release of the extra special “Against The Grain” double CD mixed by Krafty Kuts - due out early November.

Following the release of Krafty Kuts’ hugely successful ‘Fabric 34’ and ‘Back To Mine’ mix CDs which gave listeners an insight into his roots in turntablism and crate digging, we’re 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.

As a bonus, Krafty Kuts digs into the Against The Grain vaults for Disc Two, looking back over the past decade at some of dance music’s biggest tunes to come out 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 into 1 hour of blissful breaks.

We’ll also be releasing a large amount of the Krafty Kuts Re-Rubs for download at a later date (but you can check the sneak preview player now to hear a taste of what’s in store, click here.)
