Fabric 90 CD

Given that Scuba was officially the last DJ to play at Fabric before the club's controversial closure, it seems rather fitting that he's the first DJ to contribute to their lauded mix series since then. As if keen to celebrate the Farringdon venue's legendary status, he's pulled out all the stops, creating an inspired musical journey created using snippets of no less than 42 tracks. Scuffed, lo-fi techno grooves, warped bass music sounds, feverish African rhythms and throbbing electronics bob in and out of the mix, with Scuba effectively creating entirely new tracks by blending elements of tracks and remixes from the likes of Ricardo Villalobos, Pearson Sound, Patrick Cowley, Cinematic Orchestra, Ben Klock and Donato Dozzy. It's hugely impressive, all told, and amongst the Hotflush producer's best work.
