We have had individual threads about some of the standouts, but are there any others that are either excellent and haven't gotten a mention, or so bad that they shouldn't be mentioned?

(We should have one of these for the DJ Kicks series as well!)

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Monday, 27 October 2003 21:12 (twenty-two years ago)

the bugz and mayer ones are excellent; best mixes of the year, maybe.

the series itself seems middlebrow as hell and some of the other participants fill me with fear but the results justify on this evidence. (all i've heard.)

― mohammed abba (dubplatestyle), Monday, 27 October 2003 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

the John Peel one is kind of fun but probably not what we're really talking about here.

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 27 October 2003 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish "middlebrow" were my greatest fear

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Monday, 27 October 2003 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

did i say "greatest"?

― mohammed abba (dubplatestyle), Monday, 27 October 2003 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm going to represent here for the Bent and Jacques Lu Cont mixes though they've been well discussed elsewhere.

the Radioactive Man mix is excellent if you like tough, booming quasi-breaks electro. i agree with Matos on the John Peel mix.

my big surprise over the weekend was how much I enjoyed Fabric 6 - Tyler Stadius. like the promo says, it's a "hot, heavy trip, wrapped in percussion and drowned in echo". so it's very minimal, tribal deep house. most tracks are just an urgent two or three note bassline and congas, bongoes, shakers, kicks and snares under many layers of delay and reverb. what struck me most was how little seperates this style from DFA tracks like "dance to the underground" or their mix of "orange alert". really it's just a few elements: in the DFA tracks you get a chicken-scratchy guitar and in the Jay Tripwire tracks you have bleary deep house synth pads.

so yeah, the Tyler Stadius mix is surprising high-quality, even if the rhythm & sound outro feels tacked-on.

also James Lavelle's mix is excellent though I can't think of what to say about it other than Andy K's comments on allmusic are quite right.

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 27 October 2003 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i can't say that vols 1-5 of the fabric series seem very appealing, nor any of the drum and bass volumes, nor the slam or swayzak mixes, nor the ali b or howie b.

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 27 October 2003 21:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Horrible idea, horrible sleeves, something rancid about their packaging the best DJs into their brand and flogging it off.

That said I really like alot of them so they have sort of duped me I suppose.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 27 October 2003 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

the jacques mix is ace.

i used to subscribe to them. got em super cheap. but i've given up. it was a luxury i can no longer aford.

the plumps mix is also mighty fine for your party breakbeat needs.

― gallantseagull, Monday, 27 October 2003 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

matos the whole point of the thread is to discuss all of them, regardless of what genre, so tell me more about the peel disc. :-)

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Monday, 27 October 2003 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

The Swayzak release looks pretty great but I've got too much track-overlap to justify buying it any time soon.

The Bent one is surprisingly high quality but I wonder how much my initial appreciation for it was based on not having heard Annie's "The Greatest Hit" before.

I agree with Ronan in that I instinctively want to dislike these albums; like, I'm sure I'm going to adore the Michael Mayer mix but there's something vaguely disquieting about tying him into the Fabric brand.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 27 October 2003 23:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I am pleased enough cos I can't find any of his stuff anywhere here!

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 27 October 2003 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Horrible idea, horrible sleeves, something rancid about their packaging the best DJs into their brand and flogging it off.

Sorry, what's the problem with the Fabric brand? Is it too parasitic or something?

I guess there's the issue of it being a 'more discerning' take on dance-culture than say, Ministry of Sound; despite essentially functioning in an identical 'corporate' manner.

But then, there's the upside of it representing a mutation of the superclub that actually comes off as sort of relevant. Plus, it's great to see Michael Mayer gaining some much needed exposure. I'd actually like to hear more Microhouse in the 'mainstream'...

― Michael Dieter, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

i actually really like the sleeves for the first six fabric CDs, the ones with the swingers overlaid with flying animals in hippie pinks and blues. i want huge velvet posters of those pictures for my room.

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 05:06 (twenty-two years ago)

If you have any tolerance at all for deep house, the Hipp-E and Halo CD is excellent. I also like Radioactive Man, and I absolutely love Swayzak. Eagerly awaiting Michael Mayer.

Destroy: Doc Martin (horrible noodly deep house, badly mixed too), Slam (bog-standard tech-house, although it ends on a great note with UR's "Inspiration"), and especially The Amalgamation of Soundz, which is sleep-inducing even by the standards of chillout music.

― Angus Gordon (angusg), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 05:45 (twenty-two years ago)

this whole brand issue in clubbing is strange here in america because there are no clubs or magazines strong enough to be off-putting with their branding.

to what degree is a purchase an endorsement? that is the tough question from all of this because you can easily have a MoS cd next to a fabric one in you collection and enjoy both. i really give cultural material a real exemption from that "purchase as endorsement" idea because cultural material takes longer to understand than, say, and SUV ;-)

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 05:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't have a problem with Fabric itself so much as the aristocracy of cool that its pan-genre approach implies. It probably would have been better if they hadn't started with James Lavelle.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 06:12 (twenty-two years ago)

aah i see! aristocracy of cool is pretty dud. there is, however, the slight possibility that lavelle was jsut the first guy they could rope in, or maybe the first out of 5 people on contract to finish his mix ;-)

do you think other series' of mix cds suffer from the same aristocratic nature (ie dj kicks)? also, what is the alternate approach? if fabric is a sort of aristocracy of cool than i agree about your problem, but, for Socrates' sake, i wonder why aving a series of mix cds that represent only one genre would not imply any sort of elitism or favoritism? is it because fabric is parasitic as Michael said?

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 06:25 (twenty-two years ago)

pardon me - i have my head up my ass. so far i am most interested in the le cont and mayer discs, but i do have a soft spot in my heart for tony humphries and i am wondering if anyone has heard his disc. also, i heard the hipp-e disc over the system at a Tower records and liked it a lot, but i only heard about half an hour of it.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 06:35 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, well the only one I have is Fabric 03 with Jon Marsh, since I always liked the Beloved and heard he was a great DJ who played really deep, obscure house.

It's pretty good - not exactly big, epic stompin choons, but it has its moments. Oddly, it was really hard to find - most shops has every other number in the series except 03. I couldn't work out if that was because it was really popular or they didn't bother stocking it...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 09:53 (twenty-two years ago)

i agree, the hipp-e and halo mix sounds great, i've really warmed up to freaks and SWAG and the rest of the 80s-styled almost-micro weirdhouse contingent (someone needs to come up with a good name for these people). i think i'll pick it up this weekend and let everyone know.

(as an aside: has anybody heard the two anniversary mixes on classic? there's a one-disc mix by doc martin that looks ok and a two-disc mix by luke solomon and derrick carter that looks great but i wonder if it hasn't dated by now)

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I may actually try buying some of these now! So far, I'd only dug Bent and Jacques' efforts.

― Barima (Barima), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

oh and about the swayzak mix: agreeing with tim, a look at the tracklisting shows lots of overcompiled material, a couple tracks that sound interessant (MMM's "donna" in particular) and some stuff that looks trendy / scary / out of place.

BUT - i have it on good authority from trusted friends that the mixing is good enough to (literally) make you weep.

so does anybody know?

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

what really annoys me about Lavelle's mix is that he first repackaged it as a super-limited 3cd mix, and then repackaged it AGAIN for a 2cd mix. not to mention in the meantime he repackaged it as an Essential Mix and turned in an identical-sounding Global Underground mix. i feel like he's about to tweak the tracklisting again and sell it with limited-edition BAPE sneakers or something.

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

the swayzak one is fantastic, i think i've lost my copy though. i listened to it every day for a while, anyway.

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

favourites are hipp-e and halo, and swayzak.

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

― paulhw (paulhw), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

bullshit re: doc martin. i had dismissed it as the usual boring shit until i actually listened to it (go fig) and found it to be an exquisitely mixed trip through different house styles with an extremely slow build that caught my attention immediately.
other recommendations: bugz, swayzak (though some transitions are lazy)
the rest: bah.

― heywood jablomi (heywood), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

the whole concept of a mix CD is corrupt bullshit.... for money grubbing wankers and macdonalds eaters.

― Savin All My Love 4 u (Savin 4ll my (heart) 4u), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

i havent eaten at mcdonald's in over two years. i still listen to mix cds though. as for the other contention, well you should see my amex bill. ;-)
does anyone else like the craig richards disc?

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 05:56 (twenty-two years ago)

the James Lavelle isn't that bad (but then I only really wanted it because I wanted Green Velvet - "La La Land" somewhere), tho he is SHIT SHIT SHIT live.

is the mayer one already out, or coming out?

― Dave M. (rotten03), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 06:11 (twenty-two years ago)

all music is saying nov 3 but the computer at my record store is saying january, so the answer: sometime during this winter ;-)

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

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 06:15 (twenty-two years ago)

former MoWax dude, member of U.N.K.L.E. which used to also have DJ Shadow until Shadow figured out Lavelle was a dick. tho the phrase "he is the epitome of "proper" "beardy" tastemakers" puts it better than i could.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 06:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Fabric's website sez the 3rd too.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 06:25 (twenty-two years ago)

"beardy" is not a common adjective in the u.s. so i am glad i used it right ;-) all of those years of paying import prices for mixmag have finally paid off!

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 06:27 (twenty-two years ago)

goldsworthy now in the dfa. lavelle, erm yeah.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)

the Swayzak one is okay

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 12:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I dig the Bugz in the Attic mix--tho I do think it's high time those folks gave us an album damnnit!

― cybele (cybele), Sunday, 9 November 2003 20:39 (twenty-two years ago)

seven months pass...

well yesterday i was in one of the local used stores and i found fabric 01, 02 and 03 for $8.99 apiece. those are craig richards, terry francis and jon marsh. so far i've only listened to fabric 01 but ...

IT'S BETTER THAN "IMMER"!!

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 18 June 2004 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

(more on this later)

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 18 June 2004 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

The Radioactive Man one is really very good, as is Swayzak - wasn't too keen on Grooverider though. I love the John Peel one though - it's basically like listening to a "best of" of his radio shows except he puts the records on the correct speed and doesn't talk for hours on end.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 18 June 2004 10:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i *really* hate the packaging too. fckng horrible it is.

― piscesboy, Friday, 18 June 2004 10:38 (twenty-one years ago)

haha the guy from fabric sent a nasty email when i complained about the packaging in a review. "perhaps he means the promo copies." no, perhaps i mean the HORRIBLY UGLY METAL CASES THAT SCRATCH THE FUCK OUT OF THE CD'S!!!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 18 June 2004 10:59 (twenty-one years ago)

i can't wait to hear the akufen disc

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 18 June 2004 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, horrible metal cases. as well mayer + swayzak 2 best mixes

― Bojan Mandic (bojanm), Friday, 18 June 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

I picked up the Diplo disc. It's a good mix, but I feel sort of silly for buying it -- it's more the kind of thing that I'd like to hear in a party or club than on headphones at home. Not that I should be surprised, I guess.

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.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 16 January 2006 03:39 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha the original stretch of this thread seems so genteel compared to what it would be like if we had started it six months ago.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 16 January 2006 04:05 (twenty years ago)

four weeks pass...

So now they're all Â£6 a piece in HMV (including the Michael Mayer, if anyone doesn't have it), should we do this again? With added bitchiness, if necessary?

― Jamie T Smith (Jamie T Smith), Monday, 13 February 2006 08:48 (twenty years ago)

I've only got that one and Ivan Smagghe (which I thought was very diaappointing) and someone copied me the Diplo, Swayzak and Akufen, but I haven't had a chance to listen to all of them yet.

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)

― Jamie T Smith (Jamie T Smith), Monday, 13 February 2006 09:03 (twenty years ago)

JLC (aka THE MIX THAT WILL NEVER DIE), weatherall, mayer = my faves. would like to hear the akufen and swayzak ones sometime. and the carl craig and smagghe. too many to get around to!

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

― weekly handle change (haitch), Monday, 13 February 2006 14:04 (twenty years ago)

I really like the Adam Beyer one, which I wasn't expecting.

― the late great, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 17:26 (seven years ago)

i'm assuming craig richards for fabric 100

― the late great, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 17:26 (seven years ago)

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.

― mark e, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 17:31 (seven years ago)

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.

― Matt DC, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 20:10 (seven years ago)

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

― Matt DC, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 20:11 (seven years ago)

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.

― djh, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 20:14 (seven years ago)

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

― mh, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 21:10 (seven years ago)

we should poll them by their album art groups

― the late great, Thursday, 16 August 2018 04:35 (seven years ago)

or do a listen in consecutive order challenge

― the late great, Thursday, 16 August 2018 04:43 (seven years ago)

that's a challenge i'm not going to take btw, even allowing for breaks that just too much bad drum and bass

― the late great, Thursday, 16 August 2018 04:43 (seven years ago)

fabric vs fabriclive

― mh, Thursday, 16 August 2018 13:05 (seven years ago)

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.

― mark e, Thursday, 16 August 2018 17:17 (seven years ago)

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

― mh, Thursday, 16 August 2018 17:56 (seven years ago)

fair enough, ta for the insight.

― mark e, Thursday, 16 August 2018 17:59 (seven years ago)

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

― 16, 35, DCP, Go! (sic), Thursday, 16 August 2018 18:10 (seven years ago)

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

― mark e, Thursday, 16 August 2018 19:46 (seven years ago)

four weeks pass...

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

― mark e, Saturday, 15 September 2018 19:51 (seven years ago)

depends how you define it

― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 20:27 (seven years ago)

oh ok.

*not sure what you mean to be honest*

― mark e, Saturday, 15 September 2018 20:37 (seven years ago)

does logan sama count?

― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:31 (seven years ago)

does deadly avenger count?

― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:33 (seven years ago)

does aim count?

― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:34 (seven years ago)

does the herbaliser count?

― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:36 (seven years ago)

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 late great, Saturday, 15 September 2018 22:38 (seven years ago)

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*.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 16 September 2018 08:33 (seven years ago)

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

very 2013 way to go out

― the late great, Friday, 28 September 2018 07:50 (seven years ago)

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.

― millmeister, Friday, 28 September 2018 08:59 (seven years ago)

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

― the article don, Friday, 28 September 2018 09:57 (seven years ago)

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

― still wackford after all these squeers (DJ Mencap), Friday, 28 September 2018 12:18 (seven years ago)

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.

― Matt DC, Friday, 28 September 2018 12:29 (seven years ago)

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

― Matt DC, Friday, 28 September 2018 12:30 (seven years ago)

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

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

― millmeister, Friday, 28 September 2018 15:42 (seven years ago)

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.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 30 September 2018 12:31 (seven years ago)

is it streaming somewhere?

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.

five years pass...

found the previously unmentioned Surgeon Fabric 53 mix today in a charity shop.
it is exactly what i was needing from a mixtape at the moment
i.e. dark and intense pounding machine noise.
had only heard Surgeons ltd mix cd on Warp prior to this so had an idea of what to expect.
not disappointed.

quite a few times by the looks of it.

i have a snow day so i actually get to hang out and listen to my sweet cd player and get to some of the stuff i have that i haven't listened to/haven't listened to in forever. ANYHOO i'm really enjoying the Zip Fabric mix! i did not know that Zip is the Perlon dude until i looked him up. it all makes sense now. sounds so good.

Zip is incredible. One of the few DJs who I track down random tapes from. He’s also an awesome dude.

Pluto - Point Blank totally makes me want to listen to the album it comes from:
