True pioneers are those artists that take a sound that breaks all the rules and turn it into their own forward thinking style. Back in 1998 Dom Butler and Mark Yardley did just this. Taking garage and twisting it beyond all recognition, whilst dropping speaker shattering bass lines and massive beats to devastating effect, the world was introduced to break beat and the arrival of the Stanton Warriors.

In 2001, Stanton Warriors laid down a fresh new sound with the seminal ‘Stanton Sessions’ that was instantly signed to XL Recordings. The mix saw off competition from Fat Boy Slim and Deep Dish to win best album at the Dance Star Awards, and again at the Muzik Mag Awards where they beat Dave Clarke and Danny Tenaglia, whilst the mix recently featured in Mixmags top 50 best compilations ever industry poll. ‘Stanton Sessions’ went on to become the biggest selling breaks album of all time – a feat as yet unsurpassed.
