  • The next Fabriclive mix comes from UK duo Groove Armada. Fabriclive 87 is due out May 20th and sees Andy Cato and Tom Findlay mixing together 26 tracks from the likes of Move D, Skudge, Chez Damier, Nicole Moudaber, Tiga and Bicep. (The duo's own cut "Stevie Latenight" also makes it in.) "It's in Room 3 [at fabric] that we effectively wrote 'Superstylin',' or at least the idea for that track took serious shape," the duo say. "They were magical times, really. It's been amazing returning to the club, a sense of coming home. A lot of the people involved when we first played there are still involved, so it felt easy to come back, it’s an overused description but fabric is family." The pair add: "The mix happened between a Stoke Newington basement and a disused barn near Toulouse. As always for mixes, the preparation was thorough. That's a leftover from the era of the mixtape. Mixtapes were the stuff of life, a currency for getting gigs, girlfriends, or just distributing amongst mates for the love of it. But once you pressed record, everything had to be bang on for 45 minutes. There was no take two, no FX, no computer touch up. The flow and tuning of the tracks had to be right. But once you've done your homework, there comes the moment when the lights go off, the volume goes up and you do it for real. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be human and have a vibe." You can listen to clips over at the fabric website. The launch party is happening at fabric on May 27th. Full details are still TBA. Tracklist 01. Craig Smith & The Revenge - The Soul Part II 02.
