Dominic Butler and Mark Yardley |
The Stanton Warriors are breakbeat duo Dominic Butler and Mark Yardley. They are a DJ and producer team of Nu skool breaks, a style of electronic dance music. The pair are originally from Bristol, and now play high-profile sets at internationally-renowned clubs such as Fabric and Sankeys Soap in the UK, and also make several international appearances each year. Their style is sometimes described as a fusion of electro, breakbeat and 2-step UK garage.
Their first release was a split EP with Deeper Cut entitled Headz of State EP, out on Fifty First Recordings, dated 1997.
Their first mix album compilation was The Stanton Sessions in 2001, published by XL Recordings. This was followed in 2006 by the highly successful The Stanton Sessions Vol. 2 on V2 Records, the same year as they were invited to put together Fabric Live 30.
