The Stanton Warriors are another of my musical heroes. The first "Stanton Sessions" mix cd they released in 2001 came at a really exciting time in the breaks genre (the first "Fingerlickin Thang" comp and the Plump DJs "Plump Night Out" in '00 and "Stanton Sessions" in '01) when the sheer volume of quality output was shocking for die-hard breaks fans like myself, who had up until that time been relegated to digging through bare-bones "electronica" sections of record stores or picking through "big beat" compilations for tunes worth a damn. '98 through '02 were the gravy days of breakbeats, and the Stanton Warriors had a lot to do with that.
The Stanton Warriors are still going strong, touring like hell and dropping remixes all over the place. Check their Soundcloud page, or the Boomtown Blog for some of their more recent sonic booms. I've posted a couple of tracks below, as well as a downloadable version of the Stanton Sessions. Truly ahead of its time....
Like the head of the Riffs said, "I want all the....Warriors, alive if possible, if not...WASTED!"
