Stanton Warriors

Dominic Butler and Mark Yardley decided long ago to form the famous breakbeat duo called Stanton Warriors. Originally from Bristol, the pair now play sets at nightclubs in the UK and travel the globe with international work in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. Their name was taken from a hexagonal shaped manhole cover, made by Stanton Ironworks. It seemed fitting with their style of underground, cutting edge music.

They are famed for incorporating exclusive original tracks mixed with homemade edits of cutting edge sounds from underground house through to abstract hiphop. It’s all blended into a melting pot of booty electro, and is continually reminding the world why Stanton Warriors have remained unrivalled in their genre for more than a decade.

This very danceable track is from their latest release, The Warriors. The unknown female voice in the live performance belongs to Ruby Goe. According to the tradition, here is the duo's website.

Mosis: Moving

Mosis really dazzled me with this song. It has deep synths paired with constricted, sensual vocal shifts. Can't get tired of it.

Selah Sue

Sanne Putseys was not destined to become an artist. “I grew up in a really little town in Belgium, and none of my family was into music.” reveals the 21 year old, with refreshing sincerity. It’s the story of a young musician who ignores her fate, and pours her anxieties into her songs and her guitar. She turns her doubts into soul, funk and reggae melodies, trying hard to be worthy of her idols like Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu and Bob Marley.

She sang in local clubs
on the weekend and attended high school during the week. She recorded in home studios and published drafts of her songs on the internet, without a thought of making a career in music. Thousands of fans responded to her, attracting the attention of Because Music Label, which eventually led to a record deal for the young, talented musician.

Her first, self-titled album is ambitious, a smart melting pot between electric rock, organic hiphop and soul. Today, she has chart success with the hit singles Raggamuffin, Crazy Vibes and This World. To find out more about Selah Sue's world, please visit this website.
