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. From East London warehouses, Miami boat parties and illegal Detroit raves, to smashing up the stages of Coachella, Glastonbury, Burning Man and Ultra, selling out global tours, topping DJ lists, Bristol's Mark Yardley and Dominic Butler have honed a trademark, uncategorizable sound that is at once all their own, but also utterly indefinable, leading to high-profile releases on XL Recordings, Fabric, Cheap Thrills, Central Station and Universal, alongside official remixes for everyone from Daft Punk and Fatboy Slim, to MIA, Gorillaz, and Danny Byrd. This phenomenal output and remarkable longevity have ensured the Stanton Warriors' legendary status amongst not only their fans, but also their peers. Stanton Warriors' 2015 album Rebel Bass featured a host of new and exciting bass artists such as Cause & Affect (aka Chris Lorenzo & Kane) and went to #1 in the Apple Music general album chart and Top Ten in the iTunes dance album charts in eight countries. They also continued their sold-out tours across the USA, Europe, Australia and the Far East, releasing collaborations on Claude Von Stroke's Dirtybird label and a slew of exciting releases on their own label Punks. Rise is Stanton Warriors' strongest album to date, with all twelve tracks ready to set dancefloors alight. Stanton Warriors have called on some of the scene's most exciting and diverse artists with which to collaborate. Featured artists include Foreign Beggars, Stush, Taiki Nulight, Sian Evans, Ami Carmine, Keith Thompson, Lily McKenzie, Danny Dearden, and Scarlett Quinn. Each track on Rise showcases Stanton Warriors' trademark rolling breakbeat-bass sound. They remain fresh, original and relevant, obstinately dancing to the beat of their own drum, helping to pave the way for new talent, proudly plowing their own genre for twenty years and as the new album title points to, still continuing to rise. 180 gram pressing.
