Stanton Warriors

“Stanton Warriors' Bring Me Down is pretty much the perfect garage beat. Everything about that song – the vocal line, the chords, the melody – is totally original.”
DISCLOSURE

“Oh my Gosh, SO good! This is the kind of music that makes you literally want to go mental on the nearest dancefloor. As tried and tested on my living room carpet!”
ANNIE MAC, BBC RADIO 1

"These two Bristol boys first charged, stormed and straight-up invaded

the scene back in 2001 with a highly acclaimed debut compilation The

Stanton Sessions and since then have continued to dominate and pillage

every dance floor and pair of headphones that has come in their wake."
THUMP, VICE

“Stanton Warriors make bass music; intentionally vague, unpigeonholeable, brilliant bass music.”
NOISEY, VICE

“Their relevance and influence has grown with every year and their

Stanton Sessions parties simply reaffirm their position atop the

pedestal.”
MTV

“Stanton Warriors always deliver, this latest track just takes it to a whole other level.”
ZANE LOWE, BBC RADIO 1

Since bursting onto the scene with their multi award-winning

compilation “The Stanton Sessions” back in 2001, the Stanton Warriors’

irresistible and inimitable sound has consistently remained the

soundtrack to some of the world’s biggest and best parties over the past

thirteen years; from East London warehouses, Miami boat parties and

illegal Detroit raves, to the stages of Coachella, Glastonbury, Burning

Man and Ultra, selling out global tours and topping DJ lists along the

way.

In the studio, Bristol’s Mark Yardley and Dominic Butler

have honed a trademark, uncategorisable sound that is at once all their

own, but also utterly indefinable, leading to high-profile releases on

XL Records, Fabric, Cheap Thrills, Central Station and Universal,

alongside official remixes for everyone from Daft Punk and Fatboy Slim,

to MIA and Gorillaz. This phenomenal output and remarkable longevity has

ensured the Stanton Warriors legendary status amongst not only their

fans, but also their peers, as they remain fresh, original and relevant;

obstinately dancing to beat of their own drum and helping to pave the

way for new talent.

In 2014 alone, the Stanton Warriors topped

the Beatport charts (again), inspired Disclosure’s Grammy-nominated

album Settle, got Annie Mac dancing on her living room carpet, opened

London’s 3k capacity Building Six club, saw their podcast shoot to No. 3

in the iTunes chart and smashed the stages of Ultra, Supersonic and

Glastonbury.

In 2015, Stanton Warriors typically show no sign

of slowing down with a brand new album featuring a host of new exciting

bass artists such as Cause & Affect (aka Chris Lorenzo & Kane),

sold-out tours across the USA, Europe, Australia and the Far East,

collaborations on Claude Von Stroke’s Dirtybird label and a slew of

exciting releases on their own tastemaker label Punks.
