"Dance music generally has got smaller, but in our world, it's
grown. If I talk to a bunch of house DJs, they'll be moaning: I
don't get paid so much, no-one one wants to kiss my ass anymore, I
don't get paid ú10,000 a gig anymore. Us breakbeat people are
playing main stages. We're not in the backrooms any more, we're
not leftfield anymore. We're mainstream." û Dom Stanton
The Stanton Warriors have been busy. Over recent months they've
pulled together their debut artist album, rolled out the follow-up
to 2001's acclaimed, mega-selling Stanton Sessions Vol 1, and
pumped up releases on their own Punks label. That would be enough
for most folk but the Stantons are busy on a supersonic scale.
Take their DJ schedule: not content with killer slots at Fabric
and Manchester's Sankeys Soap, Dom and Mark, both from Bristol,
have been spreading their sonic freshness to audiences across the
world. They are huge in Australia, wildly popular in the Far East
and South America and massive with dancefloors in Canada and the
USA. Why? It's all in the edits, the grooves and deep down and
dirty in the mix.
But before we slide out onto the dancefloor, let's stop a minute.
The Stanton Warriors' debut album is a party-twisting selection
which rolls it out, Stanton style û and still makes space for
their own take on gorgeous, heavy downbeat like on unexpected
highlight 'Still Here', featuring Eska. "The track with Eska is
really beautiful, but with a raw, heavy beat. That'll be a big
surprise for people."
'Lost Files' is an exercise in amping up the fresh. It features
nuggets from singers who straddle genres including reggae (the
bass'n'breaks boost 'Bounce & Twist' featuring Sandra Melody) soul
(Tina Gray's on the jewellery-box moment, 'Slip Away'). Detroit
techno styles on 'Blue', raw, rolling breaks on 'Hope Time'
featuring the Rev. Jesse Jackson. It's all underpinned by the
Stantons trademark breakbeat sound û take the sub-bass power of
opener, 'Seeker' and closer 'Who Are The Warriors'.
"There are three strings to the album," says Dom. "There's a hip
hop angle, there's the way we put soulful, jabby vocals over
breakbeat and there's the world of house. We're just breaking off
and doing our own thing. We've got singers and rappers and
instrumental moments and deep house styles and a heavy Stanton
Warriors feel."
That Stantons feel includes a collaborative nugget with Rodney P,
the killer 'Dip 'n' Get Low'. "In the early garage days we were
the first people to use MCs. This time round we wanted proper
up-tempo hip hop rappers as opposed to garage MCs which aren't so
much our thing. So we asked various performers like Rodney P."
Part II of 'Lost Files' is the long-awaited Stanton Sessions Vol
2. Where part one introduced the world to then-new acts like The
Streets ("I heard him on pirate station and really liked him. I
thought he'd be big"), Vol 2 showcases Stanton edits of some hot
new tunes: M.I.A's brutal Bucky Done Gun, LCD Soundsystem and
Coburn's massive We Interrupt This Programme. Dom played the whole
thing at Fabric recently and the dancefloor reaction proved that
Vol 2 retains the Stantons' killer punch.
"It'll have something for heads to get into, tunes for trendy
kids, moments for 9-5ers - not too much urban, not too much indie
- basically, a good block party mix. We're very into the art of
the party mix."
The album was recorded over two years, with sessions finishing
early this summer. By the end, they had 50 tunes in the bag, and
have hand-picked the finest of their sonic brews. It's been quite
a journey: three years ago their East London studio was broken
into and "robbed blind by crackheads" who also relieved the duo of
their hard drive. So they moved into a windowless studio in the
West London Rollover Studios complex where they settled down into
hyper-productive tune creation û and found a number of peeps to
draw into their new release: these included "A few ragga guys,
some hip hop MCs and some accomplished singers. We also tracked
down Sway. He knocks all the grime guys out of the window.
Beatnuts and Big Daddy Kane did something too. It just adds to the
blockparty feel. It's fresh."
So what next? Aside from some well-established hook-ups with
American's vast booty bass scene ("There's Orlando this, Detroit
that û but it's all about big basslines") and keeping on top of
their Punks label, they'll be touring the Far East and Australia,
planning their live shows and "Turning down remixes 'cos they take
up too much time."
Finally, it might be a few months down the line, but of course
there's Carnival. "We do a big party every year, this year in a
warehouse in the thick of it with various exciting guests and
loads of rappers. It's the perfect place to hear our music û a
diverse selection of people and a really big sound system."
And that is the Warrior credos in a nutshell
