Fabric/Fabriclive mix cd series S/D

only real duds i've heard are james lavelle and amalgamationz of sound...

is the mayer one already out, or coming out?

i dont think i actually know who james lavelle is exactly? is he the eptiome of "proper" "beardy" tastemakers ?

IT'S BETTER THAN "IMMER"!!

Diplo's mixing is also occasionally a little weak. When he transitions from The Cure to Bombs Over Baghdad, the two songs are blatantly out of tune with each other and it's ugly.

I agree with Abbadavid that the Diplo one does sound like it would be good out, but not necessarily something you want to listen to a lot. That's why it's good they're cheap now! Mixes should be more disposable.

(So er ... why this thread, but never mind)

truth be told I prefer dj-kicks as a series though.

Tracklisting for new Ewan Pearson Fabric mix. I know very few of these tracks, which is good!

Fabric 35:

01 Jahcoozi - Ali McBills (Robert Johnson 6am X-Ray Italo Rework)
02 MarcAshken - Nimrod (Marc Houle Is a Nimrod Remix)
03 Gui.tar - Push in the Bush
04 Snax - Honeymoon's Over (Konrad Black Mix)
05 Jens Zimmermann - Tranquillité
06 Liquid Liquid - Bellhead
07 Lee Burridge and Dan F - Treat 'em Mean, Keep 'em Keen (Exercise One, Mix 2)
08 100 Hz - Trustlove
09 Samim - Paspd ft. Big Bully
10 Laven & MSO - Looking for God
11 Simon Baker - Plastik
12 Samuel L Sesssions ft. Paris the Black Fu - Can You Relate
13 Johannes Heil - All for One (Tobi Neumann's Swinging Remix)
14 Kaos - Panopeeps (Origin)
15 Beanfield "Tides" - C's Movement #1 (Carl Craig Remix) / Aril Brikha - Berghain

that samuel l sessions track is a monster. detroit sounding with a pitched-down vocal - very sleazy

they're starting a podcast

The inaugural fabric podcast will be released on October 24, 2007 hosted by our long-time resident Craig Richards. Then Andrew Weatherall takes the hot seat, sharing tales of his earliest musical memories and influences. Full details of artists scheduled to host these sessions will be announced shortly

you'd have thought that the RA podcast & online radio must have severely dented the Fabric CD sales, if they were ever significant - there's just no way they can keep pace. they should slow down the release schedule and have less frequent, but bigger 'event' CDs like the Villalobos. and the podcast can pick up the slack...

plus with all the money they'd save on licensing, artwork, distribution etc, they could afford to pack fewer people into the club! :-/

Herbalizer one killed me yesterday

As shitty as a lot of the mixing on Nitin Sawhney's Fabric issue is, I really dig the back to back Homelands mixing, especially somewhere between 13:00-18:00.

The Herbaliser's mix is also good, as is DJ Format's.

james murphy/pat mahoney one, ewan pearson one, villalobos one all worth yr time.

james murphy/pat mahoney one

yeah I have been listening to this a ton, it's really good

the ewan pearson has plenty of good tracks (panopeeps!) but the jahcoozi song that opens it is kinda gross

I really can't get into the Pearson one - his SciFiHiFi and Resident Advisor mixes were fantastic in different ways but on this one he's all 'OMG I am doing a Fabric Mix - I AM SERIOUS EWAN THIS IS SERIOUS MIX' and it falls a bit flat for me.

But still OMG podcast! Excited.

Craig Richards is a great DJ, never hear much about him on ILX though.

This set is one of my favorite mixes of the year, it goes all over the place (well within a house'n'techno context) but the tracks flow so well:

Part 1 http://www.theflame.it/djset/01-craig_richards-live_at_wasabi_(capitolo_italy)-sbd-06-30-2007-01.mp3

Part 2 http://www.theflame.it/djset/02-craig_richards-live_at_wasabi_(capitolo_italy)-sbd-06-30-2007-02.mp3

Part 3 http://www.theflame.it/djset/03-craig_richards-live_at_wasabi_(capitolo_italy)-sbd-06-30-2007-03.mp3

I AM SERIOUS EWAN THIS IS SERIOUS MIX

haha it is kinda like that

esp. the dark carl craig-ish part in the middle

"the ewan pearson has plenty of good tracks (panopeeps!) but the jahcoozi song that opens it is kinda gross"

Pearson has always had a weakness for good tracks with bad vocals.

"I really can't get into the Pearson one - his SciFiHiFi and Resident Advisor mixes were fantastic in different ways but on this one he's all 'OMG I am doing a Fabric Mix - I AM SERIOUS EWAN THIS IS SERIOUS MIX' and it falls a bit flat for me."

I felt this way too but it grew on me - it's not a pretty as the other two mixes but it's pretty compulsive stuff ultimately, esp. the last third or so.

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Fabric 42: Âme - best fabric mix i've heard in a while. wasn't really loving the Luciano. therefore, Search the fuck outta Fabric 42.

fabric 46: claude von stroke

a masterpiece of progressive boompty

stoked for the next two: jay haze and radio slave!!

I will say that out of any of these, my absolute favorite is the one from a genre that I don't necessarily love: Marcus Intalex's FabricLive:35.

stoked for the next two: jay haze and radio slave!!

the jay haze is pretty cool, I've spun that a few times in the last week since I got it. starts out with some smoked-out reggae-tinged type of stuff then wavers back and forth between that type of vibe and staticky minimal

co-sign on can't wait for radioslave

i do like me a radioslave mix, but sometimes i feel like i'm the only person who really finds the productions (under the radioslave moniker) to be completely lackluster and, if i may say so, boring.

eep. haven't heard any new ones in a while but I like Bell Clap and loooove No Sleep 3 (guess that's more of an edit really) and Deer in the Headlights remix &c.

reggae-tinged type of stuff

bad description ... more like downtempo or something. stuttery piano n breakbeats with some housey keyboards deep in the mix, then melds into some sparse low piano 4-4 beat stuff. and a lot of tracks have that sizzling hisssssssss

people have been hating on radio slave on ilx since 2006 at least!

but then half of em came around!

seriously though d00dz : fabric 46 is the shit

john tejada's seems to have been slept on, it's awesome

I'd been meaning to check out that VonStroke one seeing as I love pretty much everything he's done.

oh ok.

*not sure what you mean to be honest*

does logan sama count?

does deadly avenger count?

does aim count?

does the herbaliser count?

damn there's a lot more edge cases than i realized

diplo
dj format
dj yoda
elijah and skilliam

and that's it i think

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*.

cheers for the pointers TLG, forgot about the DJ Yoda and Format ones.

xp agree w you on e&s

sigh

matt was right

very 2013 way to go out

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.

Big up for the use of Intense “The Quickening”, however. Serious 1994 jungle crate-digging there

don't think I have too much use for this but it's introduced me to the extremely wild Black Acid track so kudos

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.

Is there a Fabric 100 or are they bowing out with the (very boring) Sasha one?

3 stars in RA: https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/23143

Apparently there's going to be a 100th installment. Craig Richards / Ricardo perhaps?

I don't know if I'm mellowing in old age but I'm quite enjoying this. The Luke Slater drop is a fantastic moment.

I mean, it's not up there with DJ Q dropping a bassline remix of the Stingray theme tune but baby steps eh.

is it streaming somewhere?

fabric 100 = 3cd set with craig richards, terry francis and keith reilly.

https://www.fabriclondon.com/store/bonobo.html

Listened to that the other day, very suited for an early spring - extremely pleasant and entirely unchallenging.

Yeah the Bonobo mix sounds pretty great when all you can see is blue sky.

I don't care about Bonobo as an artist at all (I always assumed he was kind of politely unchallenging, Four Tet with all the rough edges sanded off). But if Dixon had turned in this mix - which he quite easily could have - people would be falling over themselves to hosanna it.
