Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

"I always love risk taking when it comes to my mixing. Marrying the most awkward music together often turns out to be crazy and sexy... it'll compliment the artist’s work while challenging the listener's mind."

Product Description

Akufen, AKA Marc Leclair, brings you Fabric 17 – the newest installment from Fabric Recordings. Following Akufen’s hugely successful artist album My Way two years ago, Fabric presents his first ever DJ mix CD – showcasing some of the sharpest record labels and producers.

Fabric 17 is a minimal house tour-de-force, bursting with energy, excitement, and invention. In keeping with the 4/4 beat ethic, the 21-track CD keeps it clever, catchy, and brilliantly detailed – beautifully mixed in an extremely individual style. Akufen’s love of all things quirky bleeds from the grooves – check The Rip Off Artist’s hymn to poverty meeting Senor Coconut, or the drug-addictive Crackhaus for evidence.

This review is from: Fabric 17 (Audio CD)

This mix is pure quality. All the more impressive as it was recorded in a single take using just a couple of record decks. The product description is pretty accurate so dont think I need to elaborate much further, this is a charming little nugget, engaging and full of personality. The cheese factor of a track like Senor Coconuts (a version of Smoke on the Water) may put you right off this cd but within the context of this fun and frivolous set it may be appreciated on the grounds of pure novelty. I find this mix works particularly well when gathering for the giddy anticipation of a few cans before a night out.
