prog-rap-rock-funk fusion...













i don't know where to begin on this one. the fabric and fabriclive mix cds have worked their way up to the top of the mix cd foodchain, so i really shouldn't be surprised, but the latest offering, from spank rock, is simply delightful. normally with these cds i like them and impressed by their consistency, but every now and then one comes along that wows me with its excitement and brilliance. like diplo's mix. or even lavelle's (the first one i got - funny that, it was number one in the series...) this follows suit. tracks thrown in the mix just for a short time, bits thrown here and there, it features some of my favourite tracks and artists of recent times alongside some classic material. opening up with kurtis blow's the breaks is inspired, and putting technologic over switch's a bit patchy is just the kind of thing i like to do while djing myself. on paper some of the tracks might seem completely out of place - love on a real train for example - but the boys pull it off, and then some. seriously, anything featuring zongamin, uffie, bonde do role and simian mobile disco is worth whatever price is stamped on it. and closing with LTD's love to the world is like a big shout out to diplo, who opened his own fabric mix with an instrumental of the same track. i expect to be giving this mix some serious airtime as they weather gets better and the days get longer. you should too...
