Great record!

yes, the fabric mix is excellent, reminds me of agoria's similarly free-wheeling entry
― the late great, Tuesday, 28 February 2017 18:46 (seven years ago) link
i'm also excited for the special request one which is next out (fabriclive 91)

request for comment: any artists on houndstooth, their in-house label, I should be checking?
― mh 😏, Tuesday, 28 February 2017 19:30 (seven years ago) link
they had a sale on houndstooth stuff, and I was looking through and realizing I wasn't too familiar with the majority and started off on a listening binge to see what's up
well lex and a lot of people i know endorse call super (who i am not crazy about but will be giving another shot)
i quite liked the special request 2CD and i've also really enjoyed the marquis hawkes releases
not so into post-dubstep these days but if you are you will probably like the akkord album
finally i have heard a lot of good things about aisha devi but not investigated myself
― the late great, Tuesday, 28 February 2017 19:52 (seven years ago) link
actually got into akkord via a remix ep a while back
was surprised aisha devi is on houndstooth -- I saw her live last year and it was a++ and after realizing I'd been into her past work under an alias it made sense

Love the Call Super mix (really like his album from a few years ago too but this is very different).
Had not heard the house version of Photek's "T'Raenon" before, it's very pretty. Kind of nerdishly amused by how the track sequencing implies that Photek leads with a breakbeat when in fact it's Bushwacka's (it's almost like a small joke about how much we have forgotten about 90s dance music).
― Tim F, Thursday, 2 March 2017 21:21 (seven years ago) link
the call super is wonderful, wow
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 4 November 2017 21:31 (six years ago) link
Brad make sure you listen to his (relatively) new track “Fluenka Spoke”.
― Tim F, Saturday, 4 November 2017 22:11 (six years ago) link
great track

just announced Fabriclive 100 (the last one in its "current form" according to the PR blurb) : Kode9/Burial.
tracklisting = TBA
― mark e, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 16:32 (five years ago) link
I'm intrigued!
― mh, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 17:06 (five years ago) link
whoa
― the late great, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 17:26 (five years ago) link
i'm assuming craig richards for fabric 100
would not surprise me if they don't release a tracklisting and just put it out.and yeah, its a pretty bloody great way to end the physical series.
― mark e, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 17:31 (five years ago) link
Burial/Kode9 and Craig Richards would be the most underwhelming closing salvo imaginable but it makes sense.
Suspect they'll continue putting mixes out after this but those CDs must be like dumping money into a landfill at this stage.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 20:10 (five years ago) link
Given they only just got round to Sasha I wonder if they've got someone really big lined up for Fabric 100 though.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link
I wonder how many people subscribe? Brother-n-law subscribed for an age, to the extent that it felt like "a big thing" when he stopped. Like he'd *changed* or something.
― djh, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 20:14 (five years ago) link
I subscribed for a brief period but it was over a decade ago! The advent of downloadable mixes and especially the regular podcast ones really put a dent in the market
― mh, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 21:10 (five years ago) link
we should poll them by their album art groups
― the late great, Thursday, 16 August 2018 04:35 (five years ago) link
or do a listen in consecutive order challenge
― the late great, Thursday, 16 August 2018 04:43 (five years ago) link
that's a challenge i'm not going to take btw, even allowing for breaks that just too much bad drum and bass
fabric vs fabriclive
― mh, Thursday, 16 August 2018 13:05 (five years ago) link
is there that much of a difference really ?I only have 19 of them, some fabric, some fabriclive, and never even really given the 'live' part much thought.
― mark e, Thursday, 16 August 2018 17:17 (five years ago) link
generally there's a genre split, although there are definite exceptions
fabric is more techno/house and fabriclive tends to have the drum and bass derived stuff combined with a grab bag of random people mixing
― mh, Thursday, 16 August 2018 17:56 (five years ago) link
fair enough, ta for the insight.
― mark e, Thursday, 16 August 2018 17:59 (five years ago) link
the division is exactly the same as Fabriclive on Fridays vs Fabric on Saturdays at the club
― 16, 35, DCP, Go! (sic), Thursday, 16 August 2018 18:10 (five years ago) link
as an old man who has never been to the place, I guess that's why I have never understood the distinction.
― mark e, Thursday, 16 August 2018 19:46 (five years ago) link
question : is fabriclive 14 by DJ Spinbad the only hip hop edition of the series ?
― mark e, Saturday, 15 September 2018 19:51 (five years ago) link
depends how you define it
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 20:27 (five years ago) link
oh ok.
*not sure what you mean to be honest*
― mark e, Saturday, 15 September 2018 20:37 (five years ago) link
does logan sama count?
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:31 (five years ago) link
does deadly avenger count?
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:33 (five years ago) link
does aim count?
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:34 (five years ago) link
does the herbaliser count?
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:36 (five years ago) link
damn there's a lot more edge cases than i realized
diplodj formatdj yodaelijah and skilliam
and that's it i think
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:38 (five years ago) link
The Elijah & Skilliam one definitely doesn't count - that and the Rinse mix are probably the two best commercially available cases for grime as *dance music*.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 16 September 2018 08:33 (five years ago) link
cheers for the pointers TLG, forgot about the DJ Yoda and Format ones.
― mark e, Sunday, 16 September 2018 09:51 (five years ago) link

sigh
matt was right
― the late great, Friday, 28 September 2018 07:48 (five years ago) link
very 2013 way to go out
― the late great, Friday, 28 September 2018 07:50 (five years ago) link
Not doing it for me (didn't get on with Kode 9's DJ Kicks at all). Love that Claude Young remix of Jabobs Optical Stairway though. 37 tracks so no doubt it will only make a 90 second appearance tops.
― millmeister, Friday, 28 September 2018 08:59 (five years ago) link
Big up for the use of Intense “The Quickening”, however. Serious 1994 jungle crate-digging there
― the article don, Friday, 28 September 2018 09:57 (five years ago) link
don't think I have too much use for this but it's introduced me to the extremely wild Black Acid track so kudos
― still wackford after all these squeers (DJ Mencap), Friday, 28 September 2018 12:18 (five years ago) link
The flutter of indignation I felt at seeing Scratcha DVA's name in there was a real nostalgia trip, I've missed you old friend.
― Matt DC, Friday, 28 September 2018 12:29 (five years ago) link
Is there a Fabric 100 or are they bowing out with the (very boring) Sasha one?
― Matt DC, Friday, 28 September 2018 12:30 (five years ago) link
3 stars in RA: https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/23143
Apparently there's going to be a 100th installment. Craig Richards / Ricardo perhaps?
