Fabric celebrate their 50th mix installment by securing the services of one of the hottest and most versatile DJ's on the planet, Dutchman Martijn Deijkers aka Martyn.
2009 was a huge year for Martyn playing some inspired sets around the globe, resisting to be pigeonholed, yes it's dubstep but its house & techno oozing heavy over driven synths, pulsating bass lines and percussive beats. Martyn has put to together one hell of a mix, programmed to perfection as you would expect.
From the opening gambit of Hudson Mohake's stylish funk ass synth ride 'Joy Fantastic’, lifted from Hudmo's exceptional debut Long Player "Butter", you know it's going to be a fantastic journey.
Alongside established dance floor bombs such as Altered Natives 'Rass Out' & Joy Orbison's 'Brkln Clln' there are a plethora of exclusives from Zomby, Kode 9 and Roska. Zomby's new cut 'Little Miss Naughty' really shines through and is worth the price alone, with it's distorted sub bass, peppered drum patterns and hypnotic siren calls, it's one to really lose it to on the floor (and here's me hoping I will in the Beat Bar at Southport 46 in May... a good few times).
Martyn also drops in a selection of his own productions, the stand out being his monster 2008 groove 'Vancouver'. Chuck in a whole pile of beat tracks and the absolutely nuts rave up sounds of Jan Driver 'Rat Alert' and you've got it wrapped up, all in Martyn's unique style.
If you're going to buy only one mix CD this year then start very early, this is the one TRUST! 10/10.
Available in all good independent record stores now.
