Fabriclive: 43, shit I’m getting old, is the new release for the Fabriclive mix series. This one is mixed by none other than the guys who are behind Get Familiar, a night in the famous Fabric nightclub, hosted by Dj’s Sinden and Switch. It’s a well selected mash up of most of the big music sounds at the moment. Basically it's just a cd of their night. I’ve got mixed feelings on this mix. At the same time it’s got killer songs from the likes of Joker, Yo! Majesty and Buraka Som Sistema (who I’ve already praised in an earlier blog) it’s also starts off with the cheesiest song which made me cringe and so many tracks that just don’t really inspire me, which is disappointing cause I love some of Sinden’s own songs. All in all this is a mix for those that want to hear some new artists from all sides.
It’s not a bad mix, once you get into the middle I found myself enjoying it immensely. The artwork is, as usual impressive, with a new style again (leaving the bizarre ‘egg with a switch’ cover that Freq Nasty got.) All in all, if you like mad good fun mix albums this is your cd (mp3 collection as it is these days). This album is not for the most serious minded listener and is certainly not something to chill out and get contemplative with. This is definitely a mix that requires a little research before cash is transferred for it. Look up the acts listed and see if you like them, then if you like some, you’ll at least dig most and understand the others.
