Stanton Warriors

In 1998, Stanton Warriors took garage and twisted it beyond all recognition. Disposing of the skippy, lightweight drums and sugar-sweet vocals they fashioned a new sound, where speaker-shattering baselines and massive beats rolled clubs harder than ever before. The purists coined it breakbeat garage, though the Warriors were always far too street-smart to be tied into any one genre. Skip forward to 2001, the year the Warriors laid down a fresh new sound with their now-legendary compilation, Stanton Sessions. A statement of intent to those who sought to pigeonhole and tie down their sound, Dom & Mark took the breakbeat rulebook and ripped it to shreds. Stanton Sessions went on to become the biggest selling breakbeat album of all time, a feat yet to be surpassed. Overnight, Stanton Warriors became the hottest producers on the planet. Recently, Dom & Mark were also asked to mix Fabric's milestone 30th compilation. Featuring a brand-new heap of exclusive material, it finds Stanton Warriors in what Dom describes as "Full-on minimal booty club mode. Fuck genres. We just want to do our own thing".
