Groove Armada tapped up for 'Fabriclive 87'

Longstanding UK duo Groove Armada have mixed 'Fabriclive 87', and it's coming out on May 20.

The tracklist features music from the likes of Flashmob, Reset Robot and The Revenge plus many more.

On the making of it, the boys said:

"The mix happened between a Stoke Newington basement and a disused barn near Toulouse. As always for mixes, the preparation was thorough. That’s a leftover from the era of the mixtape. Mixtapes were the stuff of life, a currency for getting gigs, girlfriends, or just distributing amongst mates for the love of it. But once you pressed record, everything had to be bang on for 45 minutes."

"There was no take two, no FX, no computer touch up. The flow and tuning of the tracks had to be right. But once you’ve done your homework, there comes the moment when the lights go off, the volume goes up and you do it for real. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it has to be human and have a vibe."
