Yet another cracking mix album brought to you by the lovely people at Fabric. DJ Format is on absolutely top form with this, providing a set that is varied, enjoyable and above all has got the FUNK! Whilst some mixers in the Fabric series have had a slight bias towards their own tunes or labels (Freeland I'm looking at you), Format has gone outright to provide an upbeat mix. Hip-hop posturing and worries about credibility are off the menu, fun and dancing are very much on - `dinner's served so yo, come and get it'. Starting off with a fine selection of laid back hip-hop tunes very much in the mould of Format's own work, the set really gets going when Ella Fitzgerald's version of `Sunshine of your Love' kicks in because thereafter - IT'S HAMMOND TIME! Leslie speaker freaks the world over will be grinning incessantly after being fed the likes of Brain Auger and Reverend Cleatus & the Soul Saviours. Getting a bit bored of the Hammond? No problem because there's always `Slinky' by John Murtaugh which is a storming Moog workout. Looking at the tracklisting you would expect the contributions from Nina Simone and Cleo Laine to bring the tempo down and break the mix up slightly, but to Format's credit he keeps the groove going throughout. Fantastic.
