Life begins at forty for Fabric – an astonishing achievement to have reached the landmark and still be developing musically, with the list of compilations for the next few months positively mouth-watering. Here Mark Farina steps up with one of his trademark mixes of bouncy, groovy house – instantly recognisable as a Farina set yet not in a way that apes previous mixes. Here the blend of crispy Chicago beats and San Francisco deepness works extremely well, on a host of underground tracks that the DJ has clearly searched high and low to find. Nestling among Mood II Swing, Inland Knights and DJ Sneak are Alexander East, Non Believer, Prztz and King Kooba, who closes the mix. Energetic and lively, this is a taut hour and a bit of what can only be described as ‘jacking house’!
