No stranger to the Fabric brand, producer Mumdance steps up to mix the new Fabriclive 80 compilation. Out March 16, the selection reflects Mumdance’s firmly planted reputation of exploring experimental, cutting edge and bass heavy electronica. Running 27 tracks in total, many of the songs are exclusive to the compilation. From UK garage to grime, artists featured include Pinch, Logos, Jon E Cash, as well as a Mumdance collaboration track with Novelist.

In a press statement, Mumdance wrote:

“I wanted my FABRICLIVE mix to represent what I would play in fabric and also what you might hear on my Rinse FM show, essentially collecting as many of my favourite producers into one place and presenting it a coherent manner. I wanted to reflect my past & present, as well as peering into the future. I’ve made a conscious decision to focus on interesting rhythms and drum arrangements, moving away from more conventional 4×4 drum patterns. Although some of the selection might be challenging in places for some listeners, in my own personal experience it’s not the most immediate music which has the greatest longevity, it’s the music which you really have to build a relationship with before you get the most out of it which ends up being closest to your heart. Overall I wanted this to be a mix which people would return to.”
