Insert Memories

A vinyl mix I did in around 2003 that I recently rediscovered. Its very laid back, deep and electronic, suitable for a wind down or chill out. Hope you enjoy!

This is my last solo set at the And Club's Alex Theatre venue so I was feeling nostalgic and played quite a few old tracks that I still really love. Its an opening set so starts off very deep. Enjoy!

For the last set of the year at TOYTOY I tried to represent all the guests and residents in my own way; to give the listener a taste of what they can expect at TOYTOY on any given night. All the while trying to respect the flow of the set and the amazing crowd who stayed till the end. Hope you enjoy!

A little vinyl mix I did, digging out some tunes that were big influences on me from circa 1994-2005. This was recorded live on Sound Sensible radio (http://www.facebook.com/SoundSensible) for Prosound Live (http://www.facebook.com/prosoundliveradio)

Here is a little something to keep you going during the times of social distancing and isolation. I recorded this set at home after a TOYTOY night inspired to play a closing set style.

Studio Mix

Fabio - Studio Mix 2020-02-29

A very personal collection of music old and new that resonates with me beyond just a dance floor environment. Thats not to say there aren't any dance floor numbers in there to get down to. 
I did something similar in 2010 and 2012 so this is long overdue. The idea is that the tracks stand on their own as inspired pieces of work and the 'mix' is a loose term to make the transitions as enjoyable as possible but without too much attention to flow, tempo was a more important factor than the energy level of each track. 
Within the metadata, in the lyrics section, is the track list with links to buy the music featured. This is not something I would normally do but at a time like this there would be nothing better for me than a few purchases coming the artists way because of this mix.
I hope you enjoy.

Rave Mix

Co-founder of TOYTOY and half-owner of & Club, Fabio is the quintessential 80’s kid. A product of the music video generation he grew up taping 80’s pop shows to VHS so he could listen to them again and again. But it wasn’t until he began attending raves in the early 90’s that he was first exposed to dance music.

This new sound awoke something in him and he began to seek it out, eventually moving to Europe, working in record stores in London and Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and becoming obsessed with music from Detroit, particularly techno and electro. The characteristic driving rhythms and melodies of which can still be found in the music he plays today, almost 18 years later. Fabio’s style itself is characterised by smooth mixing that transitions easily and he tends to limit his use of effects and gadgetry, letting the music speak for itself. That said, his choice of music can be quite experimental in the right environment, exploring disco, 80’s, indie and electro sounds.

Whatever he chooses to play however, you can be sure that it’s been considered ahead of time, because by his own admission and in his own words: “It’s the music that keeps me coming back week after week, searching for that moment the music flows and that wonderful exchange with the audience begins to happen, it’s like nothing else.” When asked who inspires him, he lists the TOYTOY residents as major influences.

Fabio again: “Even though we all play different music, they play with such passion and conviction that it makes me want to put time and effort into my own sets”.
