Brit techno wizard Ben Sims has completed the latest fabric mix album – entry number 73 in the club’s world renowned compilation canon.
fabric 73 involves some serious craft, Sims having mixed nearly 50 tracks on three CDJs before incorporating exclusive edits and studio amends, and then finalising the session using Ableton. There is a rich variety of techno sound, Sims including tracks by fellow veterans Robert Hood, Kirk Degiorgio, Terrence Dixon and Paul Woolford (as Special Request) as well as up-and-comers Clouds and Benjamin Damage, underground faves Chicago Skyway, Sandrien and L Vis 1990, and Berghain titans Marcel Dettman and Ben Klock.
18 of the tracks and remixes on offer are unreleased including Sims’ cuts The Little Jam and Break Glass; his brand new collaboration with Paul Mac, Fokus Group (track Nut Nut and a remix of Mark Ambrose’s Shooting Stars) also features. Sims claims that the bleak, stripped back vibes of fabric’s hallowed Room 2 inspired the mix.
fabric 73 is released by Fabric Records on December 2.
