Genre spammers and breaks pioneers, Stanton Warriors (aka Dominic B. and Mark Yardley) met while working at the seminal garage label 51st Recordings. Natives of the Southwest UK and increasingly sick of contributing great work to other artists, they knocked heads, pooled resources and fashioned a pair of renegade tunes fusing the random playful hustle of nu-breaks with the sweeping good looks of early garage. It was to be the birth of breakbeat intelligence. They emerged the darlings of the remix set, serving fixings for acts like Basement Jaxx, Missy Elliiot, Artful Dodger, Busta Rhymes, Fatboy Slim, Chicken Lips, Azzido Da Bass, Mylo, Freeform Five & Apollo 440. XL pricked their ears up in 2001, signing the duo for the release of their full-length debut mix 'The Stanton Session' later that year. It wasn't long before their own brand of massive beats rolled clubs the world over harder than any sound heard before. 'The Stanton Session' knocked off competition from Fatboy Slim & Deep Dish to win best album at the Dancestar Awards, and incredibly again at the Muzik Magazine Awards, where they beat the likes of Dave Clarke & Danny Tenaglia. It also still remains as the biggest selling breakbeat mix of all time.
