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.

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
― dmr, Thursday, 18 October 2007 16:35 (sixteen years ago) link
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! :-/

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
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
― dmr, Friday, 19 October 2007 16:39 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Matt DC, Friday, 19 October 2007 16:43 (sixteen years ago) link
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:

"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.

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
― dmr, Monday, 8 June 2009 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― the table is the table, Monday, 8 June 2009 22:19 (fourteen years ago) link
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

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.
