Editorial Reviews

Fabio began DJ-ing during the mid-eighties spinning funk, soul and acid house at after hours clubs and on pirate radio stations. His broadcasting career began on Brixton-based Phaze 1 where he met Grooverider - a like-minded DJ playing fresh, underground sounds. Together they honed their skills and embraced new music, eventually cementing their association with the seminal drum ‘n’ bass night, Rage. In the early 90s, Fabio left Phaze for the newly-legal Kiss FM and in 1998 moved on to Radio 1, where Fabio and Grooverider’s "1 In The Jungle" show gives the drum ‘n’ bass scene an international platform. Ever prepared to represent acts at the margins, Fabio seeks out new converts for an already vibrant scene.

FabricLive 10 takes a trip through the drum n bass scene of 2003; multi-faced and party-based. Tough, twisted, and innovative, Fabio rages through the straight up nu-skool of Calibre, Total Science and Social Security, takes in a masterclass from Special Forces and revels in J Majik’s warm textures. Special Forces returns to drum ‘n’ bass with the brooding, Robert Owens-fronted "Miracle", while Social Security offer the classic intensity of "Take Away". Dancefloor favorite "3 A.M" crashes Bebel Gilberto’s "So Nice" adding summer spirit by showcasing Marky & XRS’s Brazilian drum n bass flavas. FabricLive 10 hears a major drum ‘n’ bass talent in room-rocking mood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Album, August 30, 2007

I disagree with the first review. I have been a huge DnB listener for many, many years and this is one of my favorite DnB albums of all time! Sure, there are a couple songs on this album that are below average, and I agree the Mexican is an annoying tune, but overall, if you love Fabio's track selection and liquid sound, then this is an awesome album to pick up. There really are some amazing tracks here - and I still listen to this album all the time even though it's from 2003! Fabio puts out quality liquid/intelligent DnB every time! Definitely worth getting!

2.0 out of 5 stars Definitly a mixed bag, July 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Fabio Live 10 (Audio CD)

I'm a huge fan of .03, so it's not like I'm new to this kind of music. That said, Fabriclive.10 is a mixed bag, at best.

Venus & Mars gets the CD off to a great start, with a nice bassy beat. Share the Blame carries this onwards well, at least, until it starts to fade into Squash--a song seemingly 'borrowed' from Fabriclive.03 to the best of my knowledge. I say 'borrowed' in that it really does not belong in this CD--the introduction into the track at the end of Share the Blame is forced at best: it sounds more like getting your face slapped by a carp, as it's basically just a fade in. It's completely the wrong tone for the song and is quite jarring when it comes in. Fortunatly it's short and the CD resumes its bassy beat and good stuff.
It continues well enough until what is personally the most annoying track of anything I have ever listened to. The Mexican. It's long, repetetive, and they must have found the sound bytes for it in some party DJ's dumpster--it's that bad. Honestly I was embarrassed just listening to it...and there wasn't even anyone within hearing distance of it.

I think I'm running out of space, so to sum it up, don't get this CD. Get one of the other Fabriclive ones which I am sure are better--I reccomend .03.
