Release Note:

Messrs Mark Yardley and Dominic B have come a long way since the early half of the Noughties. Regular mainstays at Fabric with bristling shows packed full of tough, beaten goodness, they regularly  found themselves taking  over Room 3 and wiping the floor - album sales wise - with the Stanton Sessions Vol .1 , followed by the not so well received Vol 2. You literally couldn't speak of electro-hip-hop-breaks without name-checking them for almost a decade.

But that was then and this is now. And surprisingly, one of the most popular Dj duo's in the UK are only managing to release their debut artist album today, a move that shows that the ethos and structure of the breakbeat as a musical tool can be applied to all forms of music, instead of joining the ranks of producers watching helplessly as the breaks-laced-boat gently sails away. Instead of holding a flaking, dog eared piece of music, what one uncovers on receipt of this album is a surprising mish-mash of sounds, all produced and mastered to a level so high that you can't help but take notice.

Perhaps not the most imaginatively titled album in the world, 'The Warrior's' thankfully doesn't stagnate as it unleashes a wealth of musicality and diversity. The solid break smashers are there in the form of opener  'Get Up' featuring the sassy, Sant-e-gold-esque vocals of Ruby Goe, backed by thick and pulsing bass stabs that add to its enormous feel and driving tempo. Elsewhere 'Bushido' offers electro tinged dubstep beats to the fold, demonstrating that the Stanton's have been doing their homework like excited and eager schoolboys, keying straight into a sound that's recently dominated the world by force. And speaking of HUGE dubstep, the seismic, sub destroying distortion of recent single cut 'Turn Me Up Some' continues to send shockwaves through the listener, and definitely not a tune that your dear ol' mom will enjoy.

Superstar featuring E-Boi sports some old school percussive hardcore beats, with added growling bass might and radio friendly raps, while Take Me To Your Leader intertwines the classic electro-breaks template with some distorted 'Doctor Who' samples.

For a lot of people, the whole two-step revival, minimal-techno leanings and unstoppable rise of bro step may mean that this 12 track album isn't necessarily high on the agenda. But if you're looking for an album that sounds magnificent in its defiance, eclecticism and production values, then this album is well worth a listen. If you want to let your serious hair down and have fun, then it's also the perfect party starting album that's set to map many a debauched night out. Now, really...what more do you want?
