Following on from the success of their recent Everything You Need and Pieces of 8 / Echo Rush EPs, Ed and Tom Russel curate a mix for 'fabric presents' that takes in dubstep, dnb, techno and the experimental end of electronica. Spoken word features from Benjamin Zephaniah, Foremost Poets and the poetic lyrics of For Those I Love’s ‘I Have A Love’ make this a bold, upbeat, emotionally-moving, post-lockdown dancefloor comp. Inclusions of Orca’s classic ‘Intellect’ plus Artwork’s iconic white label ‘The Soul’ show the level of influence the brothers have in the scene. The eight full length tracks picked for double vinyl with download card include the unreleased ‘Fourth Dimensional’ by Blawan, their own compilation-exclusive ‘If U Ever’ and fresh tracks from LCY and Powder.
