Album of the month
Steffi 'Fabric 94' (fabric)
Steffi helms ‘Fabric 94’, and she’s gone to great lengths to make it a very special mix indeed –
not only by making sure it’s technically impressive, but also by commissioning a gang of talented producers to make tracks especially for it. In doing so, she’s gathered up some killer tracks from a line-up that would befit some of the world’s best underground festivals. From the sublime ‘Echo 1’ by L.u.c.a. to Privacy’s electro-tinged ‘Broke’, Steffi provides a delectable mix that’s a testament to her curating skills. Listen out for Dexter & Virginia’s jaunty ‘Off The Beat’, Doms & Deykers’ mesmerising ‘No Life On The Surface’, Late Night Approach with the brilliant ‘Poison Valley’ and Answer Code Request’s ‘Forking Path’ – four standouts on a top-notch mix.
