FABRICLIVE 24 : Diplo

Classic mix from the legendary Diplo. So many obscure jams on here.

On first listen i did wonder what Mr Diplo had done here because it just annoyed me with only a few tracks which i enjoyed from the off, such as The Cure - Love Song and of course Aphex Twin - Windowlicker. i have had this cd for a few weeks now and after a dedicated listen on my ipod complete with my big ass Sony DJ headphones, a bottle of jacks and loud speakers, this mixtape is now grown on me to be a fav to listen to. Give it time and you will learn to love it (but not track DJ Deeon - Freaks - just poop!!!)

FUN N FRANTIC ELECTRO BREAKS N BEATS - An interesting one to me because I'm not really a fan of Ludakris or any other commercial type of sound but in this mix it kinda works although it moves into a worse mix. The full frontal electro mix laced with Dancehall and Hip hop has plenty of naughty pace and cheeky beats, which changes a little throughout. I actually didn't mind it and I am surprised at myself! There have been other Fabric cd's such as Freq Nasty and Toddla T which took the heavy dancehall n agressive Dubstep just too far for me. This is like a toned down version. listenable indeed.

Another excellent Fabriclive. Look at the tracklisting to know what to expect, typical Diplo and he keeps it interesting the whole way through.

Okay so the mixing falls short a few times, but the ability to pick a tune over a number of differnt genres makes this a 5 star. The guy knows his music and from the opening funky guitar r'n'b to the deep sound of Aphex Twin to the top favella rhymes this is pure quality

I own several of the Fabric mix series, and this has to be my favourite one. At times the mixing on this one can be questionable, but that's what adds to the charm of this CD and gives it some character. It makes a refreshing change to hear something that doesn't sound like it was mixed by a computer, and sounds like a live mix. The shear breadth of styles in this mix keeps your ears interested from start to finish. You'll lose track of the genres included on this one, but at last count they seemed to be Techno, Electro, House, Hip Hop, Eighties Pop, Indie, New York Punk, Miami Bass and other styles which I can't quite classify!

1st song and mix on this cd is excellent. I find myself trying to think of ways to copy this mix, not managed it yet so a big thumbs up to Diplo. the mix in general is not the best about a quater through it goes into a disco feel.Again not bad but not great.

I have to give Diplo props for putting together such an ecclectic mix that delivers on all levels. All the old school party jams from the eighties infused with current hip hop and latin flavors shows how diverse his musical tastes are. I particular enjoyed hearing Le Tigre being mixed in with old school techno and house grooves. If you want a fresh musical experience that is guaranteed to get the party going pick this up.

人気MIX-CDシリーズFabricの第24弾。M.I.AやSpank Rockのプロデュースや様々な辺境ベースミュージックの発掘者であるdiploが登場。もちろん缶入り。 マイアミ・ベース、グライム、ダンスホール、ヒップホップ、ファンキーなどなど言うまでもなくdiploらしいMIXスタイル。とはいえFabricであることを意識したのか少しいつもよりは大人しい、というか丁寧な印象。それでもお馴染みM.I.Aのあの曲は勿論YazooやThe Cureなどニューウェイブ、OutcastやAphex Twin、Ludacrisまでヒット曲から自身のルーツまで網羅している。だんだん下世話になっていく中盤あたりからバキバキにロックな終盤にかけてが肝。やはりこの人にはブラジルらしさというか、下半身丸出し感をもっと出してほしい。 リリースは2008年。Major Lazer結成前だし、最近はSkrillexとコラボしたりと相変わらず攻めているので、新たにMIX-CDを出してほしいところ。Fabricシリーズの中でも結構人気のある一枚なのでぜひ。
