With previous fabric compilations so far this year from Cassy, Friction, Apollonia and Hyperdub boss Kode9, the next forthcoming Fabriclive 71 mix has been grouped by UK don Otis Roberts, aka DJ EZ. The veteran takes us on a 32-track journey into the past, present and future sounds of UK garage and beyond, spanning sounds from all three decades of his career, with classics like Smokin Beats‘ ‘Dreams’ rubbing shoulders with newer acts like SBTRKT and Disclosure. Check what he had to say about it:

“Having been DJing for many years now, I have to balance my sets to cover the new EZ follower whilst not forgetting the ones that supported me to get where I am today. It’s not an easy task but I believe this mix will appeal to the wide audience that I am fortunate to play to at this time. If you like your 2 Step, 4×4, Bass, Underground beats, Vocals, Old Skool and New – FABRICLIVE 71 is the mix for you.”

EZ delivers on all levels in this mix, happily switching between styles and eras without missing a beat – getting respect from the original heads, whilst showing upcomers exactly how its done.
