51 Is A Number

Kicking off his 2015 in a rather frenetic fashion, the Dutch producer, Nymfo just dropped us over this 45 minute mix. Flying over to join us in Room Two this weekend he'll be playing alongside a high profile back to back between the legend that is Ed Rush and Shogun Audio's Rockwell, as well as sets from Black Sun Empire, Phace & Misanthrop and Joe Ford, with this being the first piece of audio we're hosting this year, here's to hoping it blows away any cobwebs formed after your festive break and gets you looking forward to joining us at FABRICLIVE this weekend.

Nymfo - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

This month's Playaz mix comes from Tyke, a producer, DJ and artist who we've been taken with from the very first time he played here in Farringdon. A key proponent of Playaz's dancefloor driven, tightly coiled sound his tracks, much like his mixes, hit hard and with energy. So with minimal fuss, we're stoked to present Tyke's latest FABRICLIVE x Playaz mix ahead of his crew's return to Room One a week no Friday...

If there was one thing we'd level at the drum & bass producer Xtrah, its that he fully comprehends the measure of precision and grit necessary to succeed in his chosen field. As this short mixtape, which was made ahead of his appearance in the Metalheadz Platinum hosted Room Three next week (Friday 27th February) shows, he's really struck a balance between the intricacies of those tunes hell bent on oodles of ghost snares and subtlety and the pomp and drive of the more tear out ready, mid range rollers. Honestly he's long been a guy whose tunes have sent computers in our Farringdon HQ into fits of frenzied Skype IMs, but there's something so short and sweet and yet so measured and exciting about the types of tunes he's included in this mix that makes us ache for the club doors to be open.

We wanted to share it with you this Friday lunchtime, in the hope that it'll inspire the same sort of thing in you this weekend.

Xtrah - FABRICLIVE x Metalheadz Platinum Mix

INTERVIEW & TRACKLIST: http://truantsblog.com/2015/truancy-volume-111-slimzee/ ‎

A founding father of Rinse FM, recipient of the first ASBO involving a ban from all rooftops and the man behind the decks at some of the scenes most electric moments; the name Slimzee is synonymous with grime. Whilst all of this is common knowledge, what you may not know is that in the early nineties he went by the name DJ Slimfast and predominantly mixed jungle and hardcore. For many of the grime scene's originators, with some of whom he went on to form the seminal Pay As U Go Cartel, jungle is the foundation. Wiley, Riko & Maxwell D all “emerged out of jungle fever” and the same goes for D Double E and Dizzee Rascal who started off mixing jungle in their bedrooms as youngsters before picking up the mic. From its humble beginnings in London’s tower blocks and basements to NYFW and art galleries on the Queen’s doorstep, everybody wants a piece of grime. For our 111th Truancy Volume, we have the man who has been there from the start in the mix to take us back to his roots. Sixty minutes of Kool cuts, tape pack classics and B-side rollers. No MCs, no rewinds.

Truancy Volume 111: Slimzee

This is a prelude to a full interview with Mark System which will be published on the fabric site tomorrow (04/03/2015).

Potential Badboy - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix (March 2015)

Full article here: http://www.factmag.com/2015/03/30/fact-mix-489-fracture-chimpo/

We've all heard about slow/fast at this point, but what about slow/slow?

For the last FACT mix of March, two artists who've made more moves than most in jungle of late - Londoner Fracture and Manchester staple Chimpo - slow things down. Way, way down. In Fracture's words, "this is a slow motion mix. The idea came from wanting to fit a load of music we had got together into a mix but having to slow some down to make it work". So there's music from all across the musical spectrum - from Björk, FKA Twigs and Boards of Canada to Mumdance, Novelist and Wiley; hell, there's even an airing for 'Midas Touch' - but very little of it sounds as you know it.

A comment on our medicated generation? An online mix that finally taps into that "dull, empty feeling" we're all left with when we stare at a screen all day? Nah, it's probably just because a ton of shit sounds cooler when its slowed down. Make sure to check Chimpo and Fracture's recent Metalheadz single, Chimpo's Monkey Teef mixtape and Fracture's label Astrophonica.

No tracklist, because that would completely spoil the fun.

FACT Mix 489 - Fracture & Chimpo (Mar '15)

We've got yet another exclusive treat for you dedicated DT readers today as Bristolian collective Dr Meaker step up to deliver the latest edition of our esteemed Mix Of The Day series.

Accessible without betraying their influences, the outfits blend of pop straddling drum and bass has us predicting big things, and we're not the only ones tipping them for the big time with their last single ‘Right Back’ getting a lot of love on the airwaves and their new track ‘Freaks’ featuring Cappo D and Sharlene Hector already picking up plenty of support from the likes of Radio 1’s Mistajam.

Much like their productions, Dr Meaker mix flirts with a wide array of the various styles and sounds that constitute the broad D&B landscape, placing tracks from Hamilton and Rene Lavice alongside efforts from the likes of Hazard, Preditah and themselves. Currently working on their hotly anticipated debut album for Circus Records, we can’t wait to catch the octet in action on home turf when they play Bristol’s Love Saves The Day Festival May 24th, until then (or if you’re not fortunate enough to be joining us down in the West Country) might we suggest getting your Dr. Meaker fix by streaming or downloading the mix now.

Ram Records cohort, Stealth, joins us once again in Room Two this Friday night (<a href="http://www.fabriclondon.com/club/listing/1057" target="_blank">8th May</a>).

Kasra | #DNB60 | BBC Radio 1 [Friction D&B Show] | June 2015

Neonlight are one of the most highly respected production teams operating in drum & bass today. In just three years Tobias and Jakob's killer fusion of musicality, attitude and sheer creativity have seem them with work with the d&b elite, including labels such as Bad Taste, Trust In Music and Viper, earning themselves countless fans in the process. With high profile releases for Lifted, BSE Recordings and Cause4Concern as well as collaborations with the likes of Aeph, Inside Info, Hedj, Mefjus and Black Sun Empire in their impressive discography, Neonlight have become a byword for unique and precise drum and bass.

It seems fairly apt then, that the German duo are reconnecting with some of their aforementioned studio companions for the hotly anticipated Blackout takeover in Room Two this weekend, where they'll join BSE, State of Mind, Prolix and special guest Phace inside the DJ booth. What's more, in aid of the upcoming proceedings have kindly recorded an exclusive promo mix to get us suitably hyped.
