Fierce has been an important figure in drum & bass for a long old time now. First starting out on No U-Turn at the age of 16 in the mid ‘90s, he’s gone on to properly earn his stripes, gracing respected labels like Prototype, Ram, Virus and so many more whilst setting up his own imprint Quarantine along the way. In short, the man’s reputation carries all across d&b and to all corners of its spectrum. You could call him a DJ’s DJ, or you could just call him what he is, namely insanely committed to exploring and scoring the nether regions of his chosen form. Fierce has always got material that other people don’t and he’s got an incredible knack and fusing it with tracks people know a bit better with aplomb. He really gets it, on a technical and physical level so we’re chuffed to be able to present this promo mix from him ahead of his upcoming back to back set with Zero T in Room Three on Friday 27th March.

Fierce - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

Somehow, at only 20 years old, Amy Becker’s already found herself at the goalmouth of the UK's bass music circuit. Storming her way through the past few years with a 13 month residency at BBC Radio 1Xtra for MistaJam's widely revered Daily Dose mix series, as well as appearing at a string of major festivals and supporting Kaytranda and Woodkid in Hong Kong, the short but seemingly prolific career Becker boasts thus far might not be what you'd expect from a girl still in the midst of studying for a university degree. Without knowing the grades she’s getting, the flourishing selector seems to be balancing her two interests pretty damn well considering that she’s gathered a feast of salutes from names like Big Narstie, Monki and Oneman.

Championing that metropolitan merger of grime, hip hop, house and garage we FABRICLIVE exists to host it was only a matter of time before we got Becker in the booth. And lucky for us, she'll be appearing in Room One next Friday (20th February) alongside the likes of Foreign Beggars and Newham Generals. To help rack up the anticipation, she's recorded a new and exclusive mix just for us, introducing the styles she plays and answering a few of our probing questions along the way…

Amy Becker - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

A desire to simply capture the music they love is what lies deep at the heart of the Just Jack gang’s ethos. The small party clan turned award winning club night, record label and agency have spent the best part of their operation as the ultimate go-to for credible house and techno music in Bristol. Even in its infancy when the party blossomed out of the crew’s unanimous love for the music, Just Jack established a solid reputation by bringing a veritable who’s who of talent to its underground events across a variety of venues around the city. Upping the ante a few years back the clique started doing parties at Bristol’s flagship large venue, Motion, whilst plotting a string of parties across festivals and international clubbing meccas in London, Ibiza and beyond. Simply put Just Jack has developed into one of the most future-forward parties the UK has to offer.

Lately, it's even developed a new annex: The Jack Agency. Representing the likes of Boston duo, John Barera & Will Martin (who kindly delivered an exclusive new mix to us last week and who'll be joining us this weekend) as well as Just Jack Recordings, an erudite label aiming to deliver the same kind of spirit and passion of the party by showcasing even more cutting edge house and techno via Amsterdam's Beesmunt Soundsystem alongside the legendary Mr.G, Seven Davis JR and Amir Alexander.

Exactly how Just Jack has achieved such success can only really be told by the team themselves so, on a chilly winter afternoon last week, as they prepare to celebrate their 9th birthday for the second time in Room Three this Saturday night, we sat town with two of its founders, Tom Rio and Robin Shaw in an attempt to fully grasp the depth of the Just Jack vision. What follows is a discussion of their thoughts and motivations behind the operation and to illustrate their point sonically they’ve kindly submitted not one but two exclusive mixes from their residents Dan Wild and Tom Rio himself.

Dan Wild - fabric x Just Jack Promo Mix

When introducing Zero T’s FABRICLIVE 52 mix a few years back, we noted how the Irishman was standing as a bit of a figurehead for a breed of producers who were proving themselves more open to making music that had no concern for boundaries or genre constriction. Naturally, we’ve since been proved right, with T’s music that followed drawing from a varied pool of influences and approaches capably aping the incorporation of even more disparate scenes into the cauldron of drum & bass in the time that succeeded his CD’s release.

As has become something of an unofficial custom around these parts, this article serves to remark at the impending return of Zero T; noting that after a short break away from the pressures and pleasures of the scene, the producer’s soon to be stepping back behind the turntables, once again delivering a healthy slice of d&b for FABRICLIVE audiences on both the 27th February and March (where he'll be going back to back with Fierce). And y’know what? He still sounds just as pearly as ever in this mix that he’s kindly made to pre-empt his upcoming appearances here, flipping through breakbeats and layering moods like his cultural capital completely depended on it. 

Welcome back...

Zero T - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix (Feb 2015)

Lately it would appear that the long-time sonic innovators, Foreign Beggars, have been moving away from their previous dancefloor orientated output. Where the two emcee, one DJ trio applied their notorious dynamism to a plethora of electronic cuts or their fourth studio album, The Uprising which was released on EDM titan, Deadmau5’ mau5trap imprint back in 2012. With the group having already collaborated with the likes of Noisia, The Prodigy and Skrillex, the LP seemed to be a further document of Beggar’s exploration of the electronic spectrum, fusing rap and dance music, as well as elements of grime, into an energetic smorgasbord of anthems with productions from Knife Party, Kidkaneveil and 12th Planet. 

Their latest material, the heavyweight and trap fuelled, Modus EP - which was released on their new self-run imprint, Par Excellence and included contributions from Alix Perez - did maintain that kind of club aware flex but it exudes a flavour more evident in their earlier outputs (specifically the smash hit 'Contact' or even 'The Cut Deepens' from Perez' Shogun Audio release 1984 LP. Needless to say, it may not be the sound of the group re-treading 2003's defying debut Asylum Speakers, but Foreign Beggars are proving that they are still hip hop, first and foremost. 

Bringing their incendiary live show back to Room One next Friday night (20th February) alongside Newham Generals, My Nu Leng, GotSome and newcomer Amy Becker, the boys have aptly fired over a brand new exclusive mix to get us nicely hyped before the show…

Foreign Beggars - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

It would be a pretty safe bet to back Bristol based duo, GotSome right about now. After dropping their latest joint, ‘Vibe Out’ on MTA Records at the start of the year, the pair look poised on the cusp of something great. It might have been just over a year since their heavyweight debut 'Bassline' took the scene by storm, but the lads have kept the home fire burning with remixes for people like Moko and Surething reminding people that they’ve got the goods.

We actually already saluted their success back in October - when they recommended their ultimate spots to grab a bite in Bristol – giving a nod to the fact that their past sonic endeavours and musical heritage connected to form a new combined outlet. But now they’re firmly part of the MTA clan. They’ve had the godfather of grime, Wiley, lace one of their tracks and the expectation for their next move is rising all the time. That’s exactly why we’ve invited them back to our Farringdon hub this Friday night.

Joining forces with the likes of Foreign Beggars, Newham Generals and My Nu Leng in Room One, the duo have kindly delivered a new mix to help us prepare properly.

GotSome - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

I’ve always appreciated the emotional drive accompanied by thick percussive sounds in Odesza’s music.  After being contacted by them to remix All We Need, I instantly got to work; Here's what I came up with after finishing it a few months ago. If you've seen me play in the past few months, you've definitely heard this track in my sets :)

P.S. If you want to, feel free to <3 on hype machine!

Using a bed of experience garnered from working in the PR and distribution field of electronic music, Jay Shepheard has been doing his own thing very successfully as the label head of Retrofit and a producer in his own right. Looking at the wider music press over the last few months you'd be hard pressed to find a title that hasn't offered praise to his latest album, Seeing Sound - a release that fully takes advantage of Shepheard’s experience on the dancefloor, perfectly combining his ear for up-vibed disco and house cuts and honing in on the sound that has come to define Retrofit. 

With a label takeover due to land in Room Three this coming Saturday night, which’ll feature Jacques Renault and Namedrop guesting, we took a few minutes to catch up with the individual behind the outfit to ask him about exactly how he's going to go about his live set come the weekend and what's next to come on the agenda. All of this comes presented alongside a new and exclusively recorded promo mix from Shepheard's own hands…

‘Dry’ is the second single from the devastating debut album by 18+, ‘Trust’, which was lauded from Dazed to Mixmag to Dummy, who named it in their top 5 LPs of 2014. The formerly shadowy US duo, now revealed as Samia & Justin, have operated since 2011, evolving through several media formats of music, performance and visuals which graphically explore identity, gender, sex and morality. 

‘Dry’ is a trap homage dripping with innuendo and coded lyrics draped over a backdrop of gun cocks and pitch-shifted chants. On the flip, brand new track ‘Body’ is a woozy call-and-response that unnervingly brings together sex and disorientation.

Cut and mastered by Matt Colton, the 7” single is pressed to dinked vinyl and limited to 500 copies worldwide - order from the Houndstooth store and receive free WAV files upon release.

Joker has been bending the rules of bass since 2008 when he dropped Grimey Princess. Fusing grime and dubstep with his own particularly pinch of otherworldlyness (often referred to as ‘purple), the Bristolian producer and DJ behind sublime instrumentals like Tron and Snakeater is back with a brand new album, The Mainframe and after hearing the single Midnight, we can’t wait to get our ears on it. To celebrate the release of The Mainframe, we asked the musical manipulator to create an i-DJ to end all i-DJs. Press play and let the purple reign…

The sheer scope of the prospect of Ivy Lab music has only snowballed since the trio's release of 'Oblique' with Frank Carter III on Critical Music this time two years ago. Together the producers Stray, Sabre and Halogenix have hung their loose themes around different tempos creating an assortment of musics that veer from dewy eyed, ponderous drum & bass, to dance storming rollers, half time steppers and a new brace of low slung hip hop heeters. Testament to their individual skills, their combined ideas and touches seem to work on any level and at any pace as the clip we're here premiering of the forthcoming track 'Two By Two' only further demonstrates. 

Sounding more akin to the lurching kind of rap fodder that's been tumbling out of LA for a number of years now, we're both stoked and excited to announce that it'll be out as a digitally exclusive part of the forthcoming Twenty Questions EP with is due out on all the usual retail suspects this Monday. Ivy Lab play here again for Critical Music in Room Two on Friday 3rd April.
