Fabric/Fabriclive mix cd series S/D

really really like the Jay Haze Fabric 47

well, radio slave's turned out pretty lame but magda's is a winner, i think. surprisingly entertaining.

I need to hear Fabric 50 Martyn. The tracklisting looks great.

I need a s/d on these series, I'm trying to get acquainted to it and haven't started yet.

Don't know if this is any help.

My own favourites are Ewan Pearson, Optimo, Andrew Weatherall, Ricardo Villalobos, Omar S, Murphy and Mahoney, Plump DJs and Carl Craig.

you dont like the michael mayer?

is there any thread on best DJ mixes of the 00s?

destroy

none of the albums are really bad, except maybe the post-grooverider GO FASTA DUMM N BASS installments (j majik, andy c & dj hype, etc etc)

well, maybe one. michael mayer. terrible, terrible stuff. like all other kompakt related microhouse, a huge pus-leaking zit on the hairy ass of true techno music.

btw, i own all of the fabric / fabric lives barring the drum and bass ones (and i have many of those)

i have like 80-90 of these shits

Can't believe the Bugz in the Attic mix isn't in your list vahid.

mayer one is gold.

bent is one i only picked up recently, love it

Thanks for the recommendations! Will start digging asap.

RA's list of that is gold.

Heard Jacques Lu Cont today and it's wonderful.

tim i am boycotting pharrell

oh BUT WAIT this mix has artwork's "red" on it ALLOW DIS MIX

seriously though i feel like that bugz mix is like one quarter ghost face killer to three quarters purest filler

much like each of the genres represented on the mix

i certainly wouldn't destroy it though

real surprise for me was that i forgot about death in vegas

The Shakleton installment out soon apparently

Any love for the Ricky Villa 'mix'? Was swept along by the pre-release hype at the time but ultimately found it a bit dry and unexciting.

I didn't hear the RV mix until like 2 years later, and for what it was I found it to be really great.

people are not going to be pleased at this. vahid you may offend people if you continue to post in this manner. they won't stand for it!

Shackleton mix is apparently all Shackleton and not all new/unreleased Shackleton.

Ricky Villa

lol am stealing this

Shackleton one sounded impressive albeit through computer speakers - yeah is def all his stuff, didn't check what was/wasn't exclusive tho

Optimo one is pound-for-pound the most... loveable I've heard in the whole series I think

the ricky villa (lol) one is probably the most polarizing fabric cd. myself, i listened to it many times and still couldn't get it. and vahid is the first person i saw hating the m mayer one.

Yeah the Mayer one, though the middle is a bit slack, is pretty glorious.

ricky villa i'd say is pretty cool tho not a necessity. there are like four or five ricky villa albums i'd buy first.

as far as mayer goes, i really enjoy the first three and last three tracks but i think the middle is a total snorefest.

truth is that i really hate wispy swoony microhouse tho so your mileage may vary

isn't some of the middle quite technoey...i haven't listened to it in years, or is the really technoey track the third one....

Loved the Jackson remix of M83 on the Mayer mix. Wasn't so keen on the rest.

8-X DEATH IN VEGAS 8-X

so this thing starts out with chopped and screwed italo, then moves into something that sounds like a cheesy "trans europe express" rip at first but suddenly breaks down into a tuff abstract techno break thats as chopped and phased as a prime urban tribe track. then there's a third section with super tight electro zaps over what sounds like a klaus schulze track. anyway the third track is the one that takes my head off into future shock territory. the washed-out and slowed down choir that starts the thing is at like the exact midpoint between chillwave, witch house and old rising high chillout tracks, but then there's these echoey balearic freak folk guitar / middle eastern string stabs that fleck the whole thing, and then throbbing gabber-like bass under the whole thing. basically this mix couldn't get more "secret history of goth crunk" if it tried.

sorry to repost

I'm sure I posted this earlier, but I was a huge fan of the Radioactive Man mix when that came out. Absolutely enormous, tough as nails early-00's electro, which might be a bit dated now but nevertheless is fun as fuck.

yeah it's too dated for me now but there really *are* several monster tracks on there, i recall the pile-up between his own "ave that" and tim wright's remix is pretty amazing, as is rother's "die macht" and 2LS dot allison remix.

and the ending bit with a princess superstar acapella over dirty hospital's nu-hardcore (no pun)

In/Out was the highlight for me. But it's full of bangers. No doubt I will dig it out and enjoy it anew in a couple of years.

that's the one with the "holy mountain" sample

just listened to doc martin's one on the way to work this morning + im surprised it's not on moonship's list... that shit is deep

^^^^ Esp. Rise Ashen's "Second Wind"!!!

I think maybe Vahid underrates it because he prefers Sounds You Can Feel? I disagree, though both are ace.

i havent heard sounds you can feel! will track it down tonight

The fact that I rate the Fabric mix ever so slightly higher should not in any way be taken as a diss...

Villalobos mix is a classic in my book, particularly love the first half lead up to the track with the "zany" voice, just super sharp precision house tools. I seriously can't think of anybody more capable of those kind of extremely reduced and refined functional loop tracks since like prime Dan Bell?

The mix that sadly always gets left out of these discussions is Akufen's. It's a perfect summation of that early-mid 00s Classic/MFF/Perlon/Telegraph micro-junction, ridiculously groovy and unashamedly house with plenty of headphone pleasing "wtf was that" moments.

Actually Villalobos would've been a classic if it wasn't for the 12 minute OMG Fabric at 10 AM bore-a-thons towards the end.

xp yeah I dug out the Akufen mix again recently - great stuff. I think I like it more now than I did at the time of first release (when I was probably hoping it would be all My Way style "flipping the radio dial" blipvert house, although there is more of that on there than I remembered!)

RV mix is the exception to the rule that the only good Fabric/Fabriclive mixes are the ones with PRIME NUMBERS [/sweeping generalisation] ;)
