Flick through the player to hear a sneak preview of the new Deekline & Wizard album!
Against The Grain are pleased to announce the exclusive signing of super sharp breaks producers, Deekline & Wizard. "We're incredibly pleased to have the guys on board" says label boss Krafty Kuts, "In my mind they are undoubtedly the numero uno breaks duo on the planet and this stunning new album deserves to launch Deekline & Wizard up their with Basement Jaxx and the Chemical Brothers". Not an unrealistic task considering Wizard has written and engineered for Chemical Brothers, MIA, Roll Deep and Lady Sovereign to name a few and Deekline has previously enjoyed a top ten hit the garage-breaks anthem 'Don't Smoke The Reefa'. All this along with Against The Grain's successful track record with the Freestylers and Krafty Kuts ensures this project will go off with a boom blast!

'Dancehall Thrilla' is the first single taken from Deekline & Wizard's new album and is an insight into the lengths in which these guys are prepared to go in order to establish a unique sound. With orchestra's recorded in Eastern Europe and no less then three of London's hottest vocalists including Navigator of Freestylers fame, Yolanda of Bugz In The Attic success and the hot new show stopper Hadouken, we are are starting to build a picture of a very special project indeed.
Flip to track 2 and you will hear another immensely strong club record entitled 'Up For The Possee'. This time we have Top Cat laying down vocals over a thumping bassline-house smasher, which rounds up this incredibly strong first release.
DJ Deekline makes up one half of the dancefloor-destroying duo that is Deekline and Wizard who are now signed to Against The Grain. Deekline started collecting records as a youngster, inspired by funk and electro, before becoming interested in hardcore and jungle; which led to him being at the forefront of breakbeat culture from the beginning. He has become an iconic name within the breakbeat, Miami bass and dance scene, creating his own unique sound of breakbeat, with a more funky and electro twist, and more recently incorporating a Miami bass style.
Deekline has made a name for himself as a highly skilled DJ and producer being responsible for tunes like "Don't Smoke The Reefer", an official remix of Old Dirty Bastards' "Got Your Money" and "Every Posse & Crew" (with FreQ Nasty) rocketing into the dance charts in the UK and earning Nick maximum kudos in the breaks, garage and 2-step.
Back in 2004 saw Deekline & Wizard claimed the title as one of breaks most innovative and exciting prospects with the release of Breaks Beats and Blonde's on Botchit and Scarper have since gone from strength to strength with live appearances on Radio one and XFM, one of the best remix's of the year with Armand Van Heldens MY MY MY (Zane Lowes tune of the week on Radio One) a huge tour of Australia and North America and a German number one single with the remix of The Prodigy's Out Of Space on Superstar Records. Deekline and Wizard are now making huge waves in the US by pushing their ‘booty breaks’ inspired breakbeat sound and already look set to dominate Miami this year.
2008 is going to see the release of eagerly awaited album number 2 for the boys and will include vocals from vocalists such as Yolanda, Top Cat, DJ Assualt, Tenor Fly, Wiley and Ivory Together with their “Bootybouncers” alter ego encompassing D&W production with UK grime & Bass/Electro the future looks bright for the booty-loving duo.
