Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

This CD is a five-hour Fabric set condensed into 74 minutes, and I hope it surprises a few people.

Product Description

John Digweed's name is synonymous with lush, deep, engulfing frequencies that move through a mix in waves. 'Fabric 20' is bookended by two records containing them; 16B's kick-free re-work of Pete Moss, and Goldtrix' blissed-out version of Matrix & Danny J. In between, 'Fabric 20' closes out with Michael Mayer firing up Superpitcher's sensual 'Happiness', and Joel Mull's wonderfully weird and wired 'Emico'. Fabric. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprise... Digweed delivers again..., March 28, 2005

Several months ago, when my reactionary mind was attempting to process the fact that "progressive house" was slowly but surely moving away from the dark, tribal inflected sounds of the "new millenium", I purchased Sander Kleinenberg's "This is Everybody II" and began to see things from a dramatically different perspective. Hey, it's not referred to as "progressive house" for nothing...

If the music is to "move forward", break barriers and truly take the sound to new heights who better than Digweed to lead the way? And break down those barriers he does indeed with the gritty, tech-house soundscapes found on Fabric 20.

Digweed is (as usual) on form delivering a dubbed up, simmering, cerebral mix which encompasses multiple genres, tempos and atmospheres while never missing a beat. The art of the mix itself is PURE Digweed that we have come to know and love over the years. The tracks are fresh, the sounds challenging and the vibe deep and tripped out.

Highlights include the sax-infused grooves of DJ Rasoul's "True Science", Josh Wink's dirty electro rerub of Infusion's "Better World" and the driving, yet dreamy Goldtrix interpretation of Matrix & Danny J's "Vertigo." Abandon your ideas of what progressive house is (or rather - was) and let Digweed demonstrate what the sound of tommorow is all about.

In essence, this mix is Digweed's take on the sound and direction of the future of post-modern electronic house music. The track selection is months ahead of the game and the subsequent mix is beyond reproach. It's a talent he has mastered again and again for the last 15 years and has never failed to disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo ProgMasta!, March 25, 2005

Exactly my sentiments. The progressive sound IS changing. Digweed, like any truly great artist, is pushing the music forward and it would be beneath him to sound like he did 5 yrs ago. Sure I've listened to 'Communicate' (Disk 2) until my ears bled, but great artists move on, the sound evolves.

I've been lucky to see Sasha at Crobar this last February and March, and it's been sick: hours of relentless deep, electro-influenced, melodic, mind-twisting soundscapes. When I picked up Fabric20, it was the same TYPE of sound that's been going on at Crobar those nights. Still, live it's 10X better, but you can tell they're pushing the music forward in similar directions. Fabric20 is a great representation of where these guys are going.

5.0 out of 5 stars Digweed adds his magical touch to the Fabric series, March 9, 2005

John Digweed is an amazing dj with a list of mix compilations and production work a mile long. This newest effort from Mr.Digweed, Fabric 20, is just another reason why he is so good. At first listen it might seem a little more "techy" or "housy", compared to his more progressive sound, but it's a warm welcome. The disc opens with a beatless 16b mix of Pete Moss's "Strive to Live" and blends nicely with Adam Johnson's "Traber". By mid-disc Digweed is rocking some great house music with tracks such as The Glass " Won't Bother Me", Martin Solveig's "Rocking Music", and Slam's "Lie to Me". The end of the disc dosen't let up one bit either as Digweed drops Infusion's "Better World" and Superpitcher's "Happiness". The final track of Fabric 20, Matrix & Danny J's "Vertigo", is the perfect track to end the mix on. A feel-good house track that fits nicely at the end of the night. Cheers to Digweed for another great mix cd!
