Against The Grain

Against The Grain was born out of a passion to explore alternatives, to forge new paths, to do something different - we thrive on shaking things up, because following the crowd is never an option.
From Pendulum to Plump DJs, our label has delivered some of the biggest moments in the bass and breakbeat culture. Classic cuts such as Freestylers 'Push Up', Krafty Kuts 'Bass Phenomenon' and Ed Solo & Skool of Thought 'Random Acts of Kindness' have cemented Against The Grain as a top tier label for bass heads.
As the founders of Brighton bass institute SuperCharged, and as originators of our scene and sound, we are proud to have played an integral role in developing UK bass culture since way back.
Fast forward to today and Against The Grain continues to deliver next level bass driven music across multiple genres.

Random Acts Of Kindness (10 Year Deluxe Edition)
Disclaimer - (0:23) 158 BPM
Review: 10 years ago, Ed Solo & Skool of Thought's debut album 'Random Acts of Kindness' made a sizeable impression. Its bottom heavy, vocal laced, feel good affair of varying tempos ducked and weaved through the genres of dubstep, breaks and drum 'n' bass. Label manager Skool of Thought (who is also boss for the now Australian based Against The Grain label) and Ed Solo have decided to invite a small group of talent who they greatly respect to rework the key tracks: and keep the momentum going. Best known for its upbeat collaborations with MC Darrison, the album has some real party friendly moments, but also had its deep and dark moments. Highlights for us this time around were the hip-hop party starter "We Play The Music" (feat Darrison & JFB), the Jazzamatazz style street language of "Sometimes" (feat Bukue One & Pimpernal Jones) to the ska influenced block-rocker "Life Gets Better" (feat Darrison) and the jump up drum and bass destroyer "Always There".
