The Stanton Warriors have succeeded in not only bucking musical definition, but have picked it up by the collar and kicked it’s ass! They are simply the hottest act in the world of beats and breaks. With their eclectic past drawing on hip hop, electro and funk, they have mixed up the old and the new for a unique take on breakbeat music. With their Stanton Session’s albums and Fabric mixed CDs defining the sound of a generation, the Stanton Warriors are true legends in the making.

Following a sell out show with Krafty Kuts in November, Against The Grain are back with a triple bill, heavyweight line up of world class superstar DJs.

The Plump DJs met at Freskanova Records in London in the late 1990s and begun to engineer a new global breaks scene. Releasing albums ‘A Plump Night Out’ and ‘Eargasm’ on Finger Lickin Records, they dominated dance music for years and continue to do so today.

Balancing underground credibility with Top 20 chart success, the Freestylers have rocked the world with hit records ‘B-Boy Stance’ and ‘Push Up’. They have played every big festival from Big Day Out to Glastonbury, sold half a million albums and even toured the US supporting Lenny Kravitz.

From the days of Breakbeat’s origins, Freq Nasty established himself as one of the scene’s pioneers, producing many of the genre’s defining moments. As Breakbeat came into its own, Freq Nasty’s tunes remained ahead of the pack. Today his music is a powerful assemblage of Breaks and Dubstep and Freq Nasty promises to be a favourite with the Byron crowd.

See you on the dancefloor!

Deekline, Skool of Thought + Plaza De Funk

Against The Grain return to Byron Bay in 2010, following on from a massive night with the Stanton Warriors in November last year.

Deekline

Deekline needs no introduction to Against The Grain fans. His ’09 tour had punters crying out for more, thus Deekline returns to Aus early in 2010 to dish up his signature blend of booty breaks.

Skool Of Thought

Over the past 10 years Skool of Thought’s DJ sets have consistently raised the bar for other DJ’s while raising the roof on dancefloors the worldover. Having recently had his head down on his forthcoming Natural Selection compilation, Byron Bay can expect some seriously fresh beats and beastly basslines for this gig.

Plaza De Funk

Meanwhile Italy’s finest purveyor of funked up break beat makes his way down under to prove that Italians really do do it better.

Support on the night comes from Byron Bay’s own breakbeat boy wonder, Gravy.

Deekline

Deekline needs no introduction to Against The Grain fans. His ’09 tour had punters crying out for more, thus Deekline returns to Aus early in 2010 to dish up his signature blend of booty breaks.

Ctrl Z

Ctrl Z are a dance production duo hailing from London. Bursting onto the scene in 2005, they have since become known for their unique brand of break beat infused electro-punk. 2010 is shaping up to be a huge year for the pair with the launch of their own label, kicked off with their simply massive remix of Freestylers’ anthem “Roughneck”.

Skool Of Thought

Over the past 10 years Skool of Thought’s DJ sets have consistently raised the bar for other DJ’s while raising the roof on dancefloors the worldover. His Brown Alley sets have been going from strength to strength and having recently had his head down on his forthcoming Natural Selection compilation, punters can expect some seriously fresh beats and beastly basslines for this one.
