The 44th release in the Fabric Live series sees Cambridge duo Commix take the controls to showcase their skills and selections for the London label. Drum and bass is one of those sub genres of dance music that seems to be lived through and defined by those people in the scenes that create it. And low behold anyone who steps outside that close knit community - just ask Pendulum and to some extent Commix. What was once such a fertile ground for experimentation, can often be marred by infighting, conservatism and general bitching about those who step outside the confines of the genre. Having not really listened to drum and bass in anger for, well, a long time I was intrigued to see what Commix mix would be like - as much as I pay attention to what labels like Hospital are doing, and was aware of Commix , none of the "nu-skool" acts or labels have really grabbed me the balls and demanded my attention. Which is not to say that Commix's mix did, but I certainly enjoyed it. Clearly, Commix have been listening to a lot of different music - there are clear nods to techno and house, and their track selection skips from rolling basslines and 2 stepping beats to straight up old skool, with the best, and most grown up tracks -Photek and Instra Mental saved for last. Another winner from Fabric basically.
