Stanton Warriors / Various

Funky breaks have served as a bridge between the world of hip-hop and house since before Mr. Lee got busy back in 1990. Over the years, breaks have bubbled up the dance charts, with tracks by artists like Rabbit In the Moon and Chemical Brothers. In the UK, Stanton Warriors keep holding down the funky break sound but keep it fresh with remixes of all the hottest new shit on this compilation and mix for Fabric London. With unreleased ghetto tech raps like Yo! Majesty’s "Club Action” and DJ Deekline and Ed Solo’s "Handz Up!” to trendy dance floor tracks from Digitalism, Boys Noize (remixed by A-Trak) and Ed Banger’s DJ Mehdi, the Warriors have got your back with the boom boom crack. This dope mix also has tracks by some of the biggest names in breaks, including Florida’s DJ Icey, Hysterix and the Stanton Warriors themselves, explaining why this crew have been at the forefront of funk for a decade. This is an essential release for anyone who needs to hear driving bass and broken beats on the dance floor.
