Fabric/Fabriclive mix cd series S/D

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).

the call super is wonderful, wow

Brad make sure you listen to his (relatively) new track “Fluenka Spoke”.

great track

just announced Fabriclive 100 (the last one in its "current form" according to the PR blurb) : Kode9/Burial.

tracklisting = TBA

I'm intrigued!

whoa

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.

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.

Given they only just got round to Sasha I wonder if they've got someone really big lined up for Fabric 100 though.

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.

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

we should poll them by their album art groups

or do a listen in consecutive order challenge

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

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.

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

fair enough, ta for the insight.

the division is exactly the same as Fabriclive on Fridays vs Fabric on Saturdays at the club

as an old man who has never been to the place, I guess that's why I have never understood the distinction.

question : is fabriclive 14 by DJ Spinbad the only hip hop edition of the series ?

depends how you define it

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?

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.
