CD Review - Ralph Lawson: Fabric 33

The Fabric series descends upon us once again this March. This month the CD compilation is headed up by long time Leeds and Back to Basics resident Ralph Lawson. Ralph’s sound is the result of a long and diverse career in dance music. His sound stands somewhere between electronic, deep house and live elements with splashes of funk, disco and acid. His productions with his 20:20 Soundsystem project and the output of his label 20:20 Vision is evident of this and this Fabric 33 mix is no exception. Rather than wonder down the minimal route like so many of his peers, Ralph has kept true to his sound, which is probably the reason why he’s been around for so long. This mix touches on all the classic Lawson bases. The live funk elements are noted on the 20:20 Soundsystem productions High and Radio by Drum Cult. Deep house is covered by the excellent sounds of Dennis Ferrer with Transitions and Brett Johnson Everything’s Electric. Hints of classic acid swirls are present with Joakim’s Drum Trax and the Tejada remix of Marc Romboy’s Jigsaw. So many brilliant selections, finely blended together by such an experienced dj, showing us that there is some brightness in and amongst all the darkness of the electronic sound.

Ralph Lawson: Fabric 33 is out 12th March 2007

You can catch Ralph Lawson every other week at Back to Basics (Leeds) and will be appearing at Fabric on 24th April

Hypercolour Launch with Glimpse and Excentric Showcase Part II with Fergie

My my, another week has passed and the weekend is here again... Last week we played host to an excellent little mix from Henry Von the resident of new label and night Excentric. We were supposed to play a mix from Fergie too, but due to some technical difficulties *ahem* yousendit *cough* we couldnt air the mix in time, for the second time.... However I've now got the mix, its on my computer and will be burnt to CD shortly, so there should be no stopping us from finally broadcasting a Fergie mix.

But first up we have a recorded live set from London duo Glimpse, whos excellent new "Talking To Girls EP" which has seen support from Magda on her Dancing Machine compilation, was the first release last week on the new label Hypercolour. Describing their sound as "future house and techno", we're very excited about this new label, with releases and remixes set from Jamie Jones, Justin Maxwell and Sebastian Bouchet; Hypercolour look set to start 2007 with a bang.....

So a fun packed show this week, with Glimpse and Fergie on the bill. We've also got some new tracks from Funk D'void and Phil Kieran plus a bit of history with all the recent Black Dog re-releases :o)

M.AN.D.Y - "At The Controls" review

German duo M.A.N.D.Y from the Get Physical stable follows James Holden in contining the “At The Controls” mix series, providing a 2 cd mix covering a wide spectrum of electronic dance music. With James setting the bar high, M.A.N.D.Y have a tough act to follow. With many options they need to consider. Do they mix something very leftfield and eclectic? Do they do the club experience? Do they make it a sit down and listen experience? James Holden went for the eclectic, sit down and listen approach. With this release M.AN.D.Y go for the club experience on CD1 with eclectic sit down and listen on CD2.

CD1 starts off mellow but with that typical Get Physical groove which is minimal in style but very musical. Djuma Soundsystem’s massive track Les Djinns making its first of two appearances on this CD is a perfect example of that Get Physical sound. Things pick up pace with classic track Collage by Spain’s Alex Under adding to the techno influence. CD1 shows off M.A.N.D.Y’s ability to craft club sets to suit different times of the night, moving easily from warm up to peak time to the more tripped out 9am affair taking in a little bit of Chicago along the way with Stacey Pullen’s mix of Catatonic by Kenny Larkin. Other highlights on CD1 include Matthew Jonson’s Sub Atomic on Underline and the Jennifer Cardini & Shonky’s excellent eerie, trippy remix of Mile Caro & Franck Garcia’s Far Away.

CD2 begins like a Back To Mine CD with an interesting Bond/Goldfinger-esque start, followed by some down tempo folk influenced electronica. Its all a bit bizarre in comparison to CD1. Things start getting back into familiar territory as Claude Von Stroke Who’s Afraid of Detroit bubbles in and sets off a flow of dark and moody tracks from the likes of Villalobos and Scsi-9 which slowly build in to Ruede Hagelstein’s mix of Chikinki’s Assassinator 13. The second CD has taken its time to burrow under my skin, but like Holden’s “At The Controls” attempt, its one of those that just grow and grows until you can put it down. This CD just works, with a great pulsating groove throughout and is perfect for those after hour sessions where you just don’t know where you are and have spent the last few hours intrigued by your own hands….
