Fabric/Fabriclive mix cd series S/D

"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.

Have to agree about the VonStroke - so so good, especially that track at the end...

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.

ok

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.

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

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....
