The Fabric Series

Re: The Fabric Series

wasn't mention yet but I thought Fabric 47 by Jay Haze was a complete mindfuck

very technical and a very flawless mix

Re: The Fabric Series

Slam, Michael Mayer, Akufen, Surgeon are some of my faves. It really depends on what style you like I guess.

If I had to pick just one though, it would be Fabric 26 - Global Communication. I get back to it every once in a while since 2005 - doesn't happen with many mixes really! First part is downtempo/hip-hop/spacy broken beats (Marc Pritchard style), second part is deep house (Tom Middleton style) and it fits together perfectly in my opinion. You should really give it a try if you are into this kind of sounds!

Re: The Fabric Series

The best thing about Fabric IMO is they're all quality releases even if some are not to my taste.

All time faves: 01 Craig Richards, 07 Hipp E & Halo, 11 Swayzak, 12 Amalgamation of Sounds, 17 Akufen, 22 Adam Beyer, 28 Wiggle, 37 Steve Bug, 66 Ben Klock, 69 Sandwell District.

Re: The Fabric Series

I always preferred the fabric live cds. Few of my all time faves were the Adam Freeland, Evil Nine, and dj Marky ones.

Re: The Fabric Series

The must ones for me would be:
Fabric 12 - Amalgamation Of Soundz
Fabric 13 - Michael Mayer
Fabric 15 - Craig Richards (specially CD 1)

Really good ones:
Fabric 01 - Craig Richards
Fabric 22 - Adam Beyer
Fabric 25 - Carl Craig
Fabric 31 - Marco Carola
Fabric 35 - Ewan Pearson
Fabric 37 - Steve Bug
Fabric 49 - Magda
Fabric 50 - Martyn
Fabric 54 - Damian Lazarus (3/4 of this CD are awesome, he then drops some ridiculous tune that ruins what couldīve been a mix for the ages)
Fabric 61 - Visionquest
Fabric 64 - Guy Gerber
Fabric 66 - Ben Klock
Fabric 68 - Petre Inspirescu

All the other ones are also good, some better than others. To be honest I think iīve never listened to a Fabric CD I've disliked.
The Fabriclive series also has some good ones

Re: The Fabric Series

The mixes I tend to enjoy the most from the Fabric series are those that are truly unique sounding. Usually within the first 15 minutes I know whether or not it's for me or not.

The usual techno sound puts me to sleep. Something more eclectic and unusual is what I personally expect from the Fabric series. Whether or not it delivers is personal preference of course.

Re: The Fabric Series

Fabric 15 was awful

[simonr]

Re: The Fabric Series

Guy Gerber's is essential

Surgeon, Mayer, Ame, Carl Craig, Bug, Weatherall and Diggers of course.

Ben Klock/Sandwell District if you can cope with the toughness.

Daniel Avery's Live got good reviews.
