Glad you are friends of Compost Theory. i love those guys for years now. they are superfine Amigoz and great musicians too! peace/namaste ~ positive vibrations to you always!!!!!

Man I need to fix my quality headphones. These crappy buds are not doing this subtlety adequate justice.

Kicking off 2024, I’ve got a great Customer Spotlight guest mix from West Coast vinyl veteran, John Kimble / Thicc Glasses. 

Originally from LA, John grew up in the underground warehouse party scene in Seattle in the early 90's. A drummer and an avid fan of all things musical, with early influences by the rhythm sections of classic rock, hip hop, ska, industrial, avant garde, and the west coast dance music sounds of Jeno, Garth and the Wicked crew. Drawing inspiration from the early Uk tech house pioneers and a member of LA's The Coastal Commission and ex-vinyl-peddler from Beat Non Stop, John Kimble started playing and collecting records in 1994 and remains faithful to the craft of long seamless mixes to create a unique sound and a hypnotic listening experience.  

John's put together a flawless blend of minimal tunes... all vinyl, of course!

UVS Podcast EP041 feat. John Kimble

Not many have covered the ground like London's Richard Sen has. Starting his deep dive into the underground scene by being the much recognised Sen graffiti writer he has moved on over the years to be considered one of the UK's great selectors and DJ's. Having also released music under several guises, not only under his own name (which he also has wealth of huge remixes for artists like Bryan Ferry, John Grant, Unloved and LCD Soundsystem), but most notably under the phenomenal Padded Cell and the excellent Bronx Dogs. With his excellent weekly radio show on Charlie Bones' Do!! You!!! Radio station as well as dropping the award winning Dream The Dream (UK Techno, Breakbeat And House 1990-1994) compilation on Ransom Note, Sen finds himself with an even larger wealth of fans. With that being said we are delighted to welcome Richard Sen to the Off The Record mix series where he provides us with a 3+ hour journey taking us on a deep dive into his record selection providing styles of all kinda throughout. We had a quick chat with Richard about the mix and what he has coming up. This is Off The Record 45: Richard Sen.

Reboot 20240301

For the first time in our 25-year history, we are releasing a live solo recording by Craig Richards from the club. 

“This mix was recorded on the second of December at a Continuum party. I commenced just after five and finished at nine. The heady combination of nostalgia coupled with the past, the future and more importantly my daughter dancing next to me, resulted in a mix that I felt happy with. Historically, I have been very self-critical and have chosen not to release many mixes. Across nearly four hours this one seems to encapsulate the twenty five years of playing at fabric. In 1998 I was invited by Keith Reilly to play weekly at what was an imaginary nightclub. I had no idea that experience would continue for so many years. Playing vinyl on that sound system and mixer is highly exciting and a joy in itself. I am delighted that this has been my method of sonic communication and remain deeply grateful for my ongoing residency.” - Craig Richards


Craig will be joining us at the club on 30th March to celebrate his 25-year residency with a 25-hour Continuum party.

018 - Craig Richards - Recorded live from fabric

Hip Hop mix for my favourite artist. 3 hours, 122 songs... hip hop from the 1940's, 70's, 80', 90. 00's, 10's, 20's. Exclusive unreleased boots and edits. 
Thank you Cut Chemist for the archival material and for the hands-down best mastering/restoration in the game. 
This mix goes out to Finlay Boyd and Phil Poyner for starting this journey into hip hop with me (I still have those dubbed Beastie Boys tapes!)

And massive thank you to Chronic, for all the support over the years, the adventures, the De La picture disc, the hip hop education and ...well, the leadership you've provided me. Love ya, ya scrub!

"Might blow up, but it won't go pop"

Mix for Mark

I'm sorry you're suffering horrors that I cannot even begin to imagine! I'm sorry world leaders continue to do nothing! I'm sorry for your unimaginable loss, pain and grief! I'm sorry your land and your freedom continues to be so violently ripped from you! I'm sorry our collective power is still not enough!  We will continue to fight for you! Free Palestine! Palestine will be FREE!

A couple of notes:

1. I cannot find any expression online, by any artist in this mix that implies their support for the genocide of Palestinians
2. The Brian Eno/David Byrne track includes a sample from a song by Samira Tewfik, called Hobak Mor. The lyrics from the sample are:
We have become the target of passion, healing wounds
صرنا على ضرب الهوى نلملم جروح
And we pause at the door of love
ونوقَف ع باب الحب وقفات الغفير
My eyes, my eyes, my eyes, my eyes, my eyes, my eyes oh
عيني، عيني، عيني، عيني، عيني، عيني يا
3. Wildfires by Sault is about police brutality and the consistent murder of people of colour by police in the USA. I feel the sentiment also applies to the Israeli occupation of Palestine, and the continued violence/murder inflicted on the Palestinan people. Lyrics like, ‘We all know it was murder, murder, murder’; and ‘I will always rise’ to reflect the fierceness of the Palestinian people and deep connection to their land
4. Rebuild a Nation by Damon Locks, Black Monument Ensemble, for me is a call out to people power. The current system is not working! Governments all around the world are out of touch! 
Dismantle imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist and patriarchal systems!

I recorded this mix on stolen land; on Darkinjung country. Always Was Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land!

DJ Semper-Fi @ VOID Sydney Presents Sinistarr

A mix inspired by a great new years eve down the south coast of New South Wales, Australia, and fermented by the wonder that a Chinese Water Dragon year brings.  

Thanks to @LuvJam for allowing me to use his unreleased track "Nesta" (coming soon on @ThroneOfBlood), and to the @DaveFernandes providors Dave Fernandes & Dean Dixon for a great NY away from the city!
