After winning the ‘Best Newcomer Producer’ at last year’s Drum & Bass Awards, all eyes have been [rightly] fixed on Frankee and his output. His All Four One EP for the juggernaut that is Ram Records placated a lot of people with it’s four tracks of his stylized, tough nut production, but since February he’s been a little quiet – a reason we’re so amped up to be able to present the world with this fresh mixtape. Made in anticipation of Frankee’s imminent return to Farringdon on 17th June, he was pretty openly keen for us to publish it as soon as possible so you guys could hear the dubplates and exclusive bits it contains first. Obviously we were only too happy to oblige so here, here’s Frankee’s latest 47 minute mix.

Frankee - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix (Jun 2015)

Ahead of his London debut this Friday, the Leeds based producer/DJ, Loz Contreras sent us a mixtape that we're presenting here as his warning shot. He's playing in Room Two with LTJ Bukem so it stands to reason that you can certainly expect a harmonious and poly-rhythmic approach to drum & bass music from Contreras when he steps up to the booth tomorrow night, but he wanted to prep you properly, with this... so we obliged.

Loz Contreras - FABRICLIVE Promo Mix

An artist renowned for his twisted take on the drum & bass spectrum, Phace is a producer whose ethos behind his progressive and technical sound is surprisingly simple. Releasing a multitude of club-ready but intricate and adept d&b, including his third album, Shape The Random, not to mention his collaborative material with good pal and fellow German music maestro Misanthrop via their Neosignal label, you might think there'd be something rather complex responsible for those deep, rolling basslines. But when chatting to the man himself last week it became clear that his meticulous music-making is simply done to make “both himself and others happy”. 

Set to join Black Sun Empire’s BLACKOUT clan in Room Two on Friday 24th July, we caught up with Phace on his theoretical whereabouts since the release of his aforementioned album earlier this year. He also recorded us a 30 minute blast of his blend of high octane cuts to kick off the BLACKOUT branded takeover of our blog space (which'll be running every week in the run up to the show).

Ed Rush & Optical - FABRICLIVE 82 promo mix

Still widely saluted for his own inimitable take on the 170bpm spectrum, Danny Byrd is proving to still be one of the drum ‘n’ bass scene's most illustrious of players. His seductively soulful and seamlessly vocal laced productions have been some of the most forward thinking and anthemic cuts to come from the Hospital Records camp, releasing three studio albums and a fleet of EPs on the major imprint since the turn of the millennium. Lately, it seems he's been a little quiet on the studio front, having released his last EP for Hospital back in 2013, but the Bath-based producer has still been seemingly busy, reworking fresh jams from Stanton Warriors and dabbling in a string of festival and club dates, including an anticipated return to our own musical haunt this Autumn.

Set to link with Viper cohorts Brookes Brothers inside the booth for an exclusive back to back session as part of Viper Recordings' Room Two takeover, the legendary selector has taken some time to fuse together some of his favourite cuts by way of this 30 minute mix…

Sub Zero is by far one of Playaz' most masterful dons at pushing the limits; his relentless and bass bolstered constructs have regularly impressed on our Martin Audio soundsystem in Room One, piercing the tension with his splintering, high octane selections each month as part of the Playaz monthly residency.  

This Friday he'll once again join the Playaz collective inside the booth and to give us an indication of his own anticipation and to capture the kind of sonic fury that awaits, he's recorded a brand new exclusive mix for us.

Sub Zero - FABRICLIVE x Playaz Mix (August 2015)

Slick productions, fast-paced selection skills and signed to d’n’b collective Viper Recordings, Brookes Brothers are a force of their field with their arsenal of anthemic cuts being in rotation since the mid 00’s, with staples like Andy C and Zane Lowe all showing support. Their own hyper-octane sets are also  the perfect ammunition for peak-time revelry which they have more than proved in this exclusive promo mix ahead of their next appearance which is just a week away  when they will link with fellow Viper maestros as the label take on our first space for the entirety of the late night session. What’s more, they’ll also be joining forces with king of soul tinged beats, Danny Byrd - whose new mix we published earlier this week – for a London exclusive, back to back showdown.

As an original part of the Metalheadz crew (his name is inked on the spine of the label's first ever release), Doc Scott's been a constant influence and driving force behind 170bpm music whether working on Reinforced, HDZ, Bukem's Goodlooking imprint or on his own 31 Records. Over time since he first appeared the Coventry born producer's watched the scene he loves weather changes, or as his biography puts it "from it's transitions from rave to hardcore, jungle-techno to tech step to d&b, from UK based to a global scene and industry, Doc Scott has seen it all and been there for the entire journey." He's quite famously described by his long time friend Goldie as "king of the rollers" and he's the type of DJ that when he speaks, you simply put up and listen. 

And that's what we've been doing all day, since we received this exclusive mix, one he's delivered ahead of his Room Two appearance alongside LTJ Bukem, Klute and Dom & Roland a week on Friday. Sometimes gumpf just gets in the way so all we'll say, is sit back, get comfortable and press play...

Ahead of what will be a supreme cast of selectors heading down to Room Two for the FABRICLIVE leg of our 16th Birthday celebratory weekend, we’ve linked with one of the night’s pivotal participators, the ever prolific Logistics and asked him if he could lend us a hand fuelling the hype by putting together a brand new promo mix. The mix also marks his first ever contribution to our ongoing series which, when truth be told, is quite astonishing given the fact that not only has the upstanding selector played at our Farringdon corner numerous times but also that the illustrious Hospital Records signee has overwhelmed us with his distinct strain of liquid funk and cut for the club drum and bass for more than a decade now.

Even if you haven’t heard of Kings of the Rollers before, there’s a good chance you’re at least familiar with its comprising members. Serum, Voltage and Bladerunner are all well-established producers and DJs, known most commonly for making cutting-edge dance music at 170BPM.

Serum and Bladerunner first started working together several years ago, before they realised Voltage also aligned with their artistic visions. With the D&B scene heading in several different directions, the trio found similarities by fusing rolling tracks with classic jungle elements.

Having spent time together in the studio, they first joined to play last year for a set on the internet radio station Rough Tempo. With this receiving praise from the heads who listened, it followed naturally that they started playing more often.

With their next joint UK performance slated in for an appearance at FABRICLIVE on 24th February, they fired us over this pacey mix to show us just why we should all be paying attention to Kings of the Rollers.

If you know jump-up, then you’ve pretty much definitely heard of Callum Slight. Under the alias Levela he plays as a resident at Innovation and Devotion, two of the key go-to parties for pushing this strand of heavy D&B. 

Slight’s dubs first caught the attention of DJ Phantasy whose early support no doubt helped established him in the scene, and in the studio he’s collaborated alongside respected names such as Skibadee and Harry Shotta.

Outside of production, he’s also an unrelenting force behind the decks. Like his renowned peers, Slight is also known for playing a weighty style of electronic music at 170BPM. With his FABRICLIVE debut coming up this Friday, he fired us over an hour of fresh jump-up heat to let us know what to expect in Room One.

Kyrist is a Bristol-based drum &amp; bass producer and DJ. While this scenario might sound fairly typical, Kirsty Clarke’s journey to this point has been far from the norm.

From her earliest releases she’s been playing her tech-led sound out regularly, with gigs for people like Outlook and Renegade Hardware helping her gain wider recognition from an early age.

For a while she’s also been closely linked with Dispatch Recordings, the revered imprint where she currently juggles the responsibilities of being both a resident DJ and label manager.

She’s also written music for the label, with her <em>Venomous EP</em> earlier this year getting support from techstep behemoths like Noisia and Phace.

With her next appearance at FABRICLIVE happening on 28th July, Clarke hit us up with a mix of heavy drums to give us some idea of what to expect when she lands.

In just one month Hospitality in the Park returns, where the landmark drum & bass label will take over London’s Finsbury Park for another edition of their mammoth day festival. 

We’re particularly excited about this year’s party - we’re lined up to take part in the proceedings with our very own FABRICLIVE stage. For our Hospitality in the Park debut we’ve invited a string of our cherished FABRICLIVE guests to join us, with Calibre & DRS, My Nu Leng & Dread MC and Critical Soundsystem all set to perform. 

Also making the trip to Finsbury Park with us are FABRICLIVE regulars Blazey Bodynod and Skankandbass. With anticipation building for our first takeover FABRICLIVE x Hospitality festival collaboration, we asked Skankandbass to pull together a selection of drum & bass cuts to showcase what we should expect to hear on 23rd September. For his FABRICLIVE x Hospitality in the Park mix, he mashed up a string of new and exclusive dubs alongside his all time favourites from the Hospital Records back catalogue. 

Final release tickets are available via Hospitality in the Park's website now: https://hospitalityinthepark.lnk.to/eWY_jFT

Ben ‘Benny L’ Love is one of the most promising newcomers in drum & bass, and his recent EP on Metalheadz Platinum has also made him the youngest artist on Goldie’s imprint. The story of how this transpired pretty much reads like a fairy tale in drum & bass folklore. The story begins when the fledgling producer sent his freshly minted track Low Blow to the one of the best respected heads in the game, Randall. The man Randall then dropped it at one of the biggest D&B gatherings in the calendar, Sun & Bass festival, when an excited Goldie jumped on the decks and instigated a rewind for the killer cut. It wasn’t signed right away though, it was when Goldie got hold of a video of the scene after someone had filmed the incident, the Metalheadz don called up Love to sign him for an EP on his offshoot label. It’s the kind of stuff that dreams are made of.

Sonically speaking, Love is probably best known for his use of heavy, dragging basslines and much of his success most definitely has been fostered by support from the number of the scene’s veterans. Early in his career his first tracks were signed by Shimon for Audioporn. Not only has Randall been playing out Love’s production in his but he’s also signed a track to his latest Pieces compilation and more of Love’s material has been heard being played out by Doc Scott and DJ Marky, too. With an appearance from the rising star happening in RM2 on 10th November, we contacted him to deliver a FABRICLIVE Promo Mix to represent his sound. For his mix, he submitted an eclectic mix of tough and upfront drum & bass combining classic rollers and fresh jump-up focussed fully on the dancefloor.

Marky is famously proud of his Brazilian roots, but even without knowing his background you could likely get some idea from the style of drum & bass he plays. Somehow his sound has always channelled the sun of his native South America both in the records he plays and the gems he’s signed to his label Innerground. 

There are a number of other traits that have made Marky’s sets so distinctive, from his infectious charisma, to his inexplicable scratching skills. He’s demonstrated this time and again in Farringdon, with his long-running Marky & Friends night among one of FABRICLIVE’s best-loved residencies. 

This Friday we’re pleased to welcome Marky back after a whole two years, and to mark the occasion we got hold of him for a one-off mix and interview ahead of the weekend. He delivered a mix of typically breezy rollers and told us what we can expect from his extended 2-hour set in just a few days’ time.

Searching for Unglued online doesn’t give much away about the young drum & bass artist. What we do know is that he’s the latest signing on the Hospital roster, who last year caught the whole camp’s attention with a bootleg of High Contrast’s classic, 'If We Ever'. He’s since appeared on two of the label’s recent compilations, with debut single 'Chicken in a Spacesuit' lined up to drop next month.

The Brighton-based producer has started playing with some of his formative inspirations since the label got hold of his music, and soon debuts with us for our Hospitality in the Dock after party next weekend. We asked him to introduce himself ahead of the date, so he recorded a mix covering the jungle and drum & bass sounds that have influenced him most.
