    Overnight, Stanton Warriors became one of the hottest producers on the planet. Even today, no-one comes close to matching their string of high-profile remixes for such luminaries as Gorillaz (the biggest selling breakbeat bootleg of all time), Busta Rhymes,, Chicken Lips, Basement Jaxx, Freeform Five, and many more. They are also incomparable when it comes to working with vocalists. In a genre renowned for instrumentals, Stanton Warriors were flying out to LA and New York to work with the likes of Big Daddy Kane, Twista and The Beatnuts, in a bid to take breakbeat to the MTV generation.
    "When we started out the breakbeat scene was so one-dimensional. Bringing in house, hip-hop and garage elements was crucial in tearing **** up.", laughs Dom.

    Stanton Sessions prompted a fierce bidding war, resulting in Dom & Mark becoming the first breakbeat act ever to sign to a major label. However the deal went sour when the Stantons were told to compromise their musical identity so, after much legal wrangling, they upped and left for another major label. Two years on, this type of deal was still unheard of. The guys swapped Warner Music for V2, where their long-awaited debut album Lost Files was finally released to huge critical acclaim.
    Alongside a huge track with The Beatnuts, the album features a killer collaboration with the UK's hottest talent Sway. It has enjoyed widespread support from MTV and Pete Tong, as well as daytime plays on Radio 1 and XFM, a massive and relatively unheard of achievement for a breakbeat act.

    Recently, Dom & Mark were also asked to mix Fabric's milestone 30th compilation. Featuring a brand-new heap of exclusive material, it finds Stanton Warriors in what Dom describes as "Full-on minimal booty club mode. **** genres. We just want to do our own thing."
