Format:Audio CD
was not expecting this mix to be what it is.probably why i love it so much,without a doubt the best fabric cd since fabric 30/fabriclive 36.effortlessly entertaining mix of early euro house/disco/garage.lashings of funk/humor/great taste and funk(twice)takes me back to why i love dancing so much in the first place as well as playing loads of tunes i've never heard before.
essential.would make a great gift for and old raver/soulboy/discohead.
pure chewing satisfaction.

Reading the reviews I half expected Ministry of Sound 80s Groove mixed with 12" 80s etc...and to a degree this is the case but it is far more clever than that.
These guys, like 99% of all Fabric acts/releases really know their stuff/genre and so take you to places and sounds that only a true anorak (in the best sense) could. Like a Norman Cook / Norman Jay compilation expect to do a lot of checking the artist listing whilst muttering "who/what was that top tune?". Good in the car or chilling out.

First heard this as a promo in the record store where I used to blow all my teenage pocket money, buying up vinyl records.
The above comment goes some way to explaining why I've woken out of my current musical stupor to actually write a review. Mix CD compilations are a dime a dozen these days. They often provide a useful tool for DJ producers to either highlight what's coming next or to finally unfold the secrets on a bunch of white label promos and studio edits that only they have had access to for the past months.
Fabric 43 by Metro Area does none of that.
Instead, Darshan Jesrani and Morgan Geist have put together a compelling 68 minute mix highlighting a particular moment in dance music's fast-evolving canon; namely, the early 80's juncture in which New York played host to a hybrid of Electro beats, Soul vocals and Disco strings that predated the Italo disco movement out of Europe. It is everything that has informed Metro Area's own output, via their own label, Environ.
Does this mean you're considering the purchase of a 80's retrospective mix? Actually, no. The presentation may involve a predominant selection from that era - even the Urei mixer, every US DJ's tool of choice, gets a credit - but it sounds satisfyingly contemporary. If nothing else, it provides several pointers for today's younger generation of music producers to the origins of their current references. All neatly encapsulated in a perfectly beat-mixed session.
On a personal note, it is to Metro Area's credit that I only own two of the 23 tracks on this CD. And one of those was considered obscure at the time. There is no better feeling when listening to a DJ and they introduce a killer track into the mix; you just have to know what it is. This CD has me asking the question on every track.
This was a refreshingly different approach to the usual mix CD format and I have no hesitancy endorsing it a 5/ 5. Kudos to Fabric for supporting maverick talent, such as this.
