INTRODUCTION

FABRICLIVE. 15 is a confluence of musical influences and ideas. It's a journey blending rolling broken beats with furious rhythms as Nitin mixes up the tempo and styles, creating a mix that's thoughtful, energetic and infectious. Kicking off with the deep jazz of Nitin's Koop re-edit, we're led into the broken drum patterns of his 'Eastern Eyes'. Freeform Five's flamenco styled reworking of 'Homelands' contrasts with the deep gentle groove of Viennese Dzihin & Kamien's remix.

There's dub with the Burnt Friedman mix of Tosca, an Atjazz remix of 'Tempest' and 4hero remix Nathan Haines as Nitin takes a step towards the dancefloor. Frantic beats come from two brilliant tracks on melodic drum n bass label Hospital. There's the growling bassline of Darqwan, into the eastern fusion of forward thinking production and traditional sounds of Visionary Underground. The delicate music of 'Beyond Skin' features the powerful words of Robert Oppenheimer, creator of the A-bomb, condemning his Frankenstein, and the mix closes with 'Hymn 2', a sublime combination of Photek's cutting edge production with the ancient sound of choral song.
