This CD only has 16 songs but it is still my favorite fabriclive I have purchased. This has some of the best breakbeat I have ever heard and I can listen to this over and over again. The better your sound system, the more you will enjoy this.

Highly recommended.

OK, here's the thing. I haven't heard every other Stanton Warriors mix, and this CD is in many ways a vastly different representation of their sound than the live DJ set that I heard in October in Brooklyn. The textures are different and the drums are less urgent, perhaps, but that said, overall I really like the variety and ambition of this mix.

One of the highlights for me when I saw them was the infusion of several "Dirty South" hip hop acapellas over the beats and instrumentals they were playing. It was fantastic to hear a "serious" DJ duo have fun and cut loose like that. In a way, I think that IS somewhat groundbreaking, instead of just playing the same overindulgent progressive breaks all night, they had a sense of humor and the crowd all seemed to love it. I'm glad that isn't just a trick they throw out live...I'm happy to hear the American hip hop on the CD. I mean, breakbeat mixes have had ragga MC's for years, and frankly, that's getting a bit tired and cliche now. Way to mix it up while keeping it real, Stanton Warriors.

It's like when everyone jumped on Sasha for including the Felix da Housecat track on "Involver"...DJ's are supposed to balance challenging the listener with making their booties shake. Let's give them some leeway, and see where they take us.

This mix has old school vibes, nu skool grooves, gut-wrenching bass, soulful vocals, varied MC's and is frankly all over the map. This isn't Uberzone, Freestylers or Adam Freeland, so don't expect those DJs. This is breakbeat without prejudice, and while perhaps not their most cerebral mix, it's still one for your body to move to.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Party CD, January 24, 2008

With so much of the newer breaks sounding so techy, this was a nice throwback. Old-skool feel with some slammin' beats and deep bass-lines. With the hip-hop smaples it has a little something for everybody. Lots of Stanton originals and remixes. Great party CD.
