Marcus Intalex’s FabricLive entry is the definition of elegant, future-facing drum & bass. Crisp, soulful, and completely sure of itself. It avoids grandstanding in favour of deep flow, immaculate selection, and long, patient blends. This is drum & bass with emotional intelligence: rolling, hypnotic, and engineered for heads who appreciate precision over pyrotechnics. A master at his peak.

Erol Alkan’s mix is a fizzing snapshot of the electro-indie crossover moment, full of attitude, hooks, and the kind of club chaos that made Trash legendary. It moves with swagger, chugging guitars, neon synths, rave nods stitched together with Alkan’s sharp sense of drama. It’s fun, high-energy, and one of the most charismatic FabricLive volumes ever released.

Calibre’s contribution is pure atmosphere: liquid drum & bass distilled into something weightless, warm, and quietly devastating. The transitions are seamless; the emotion is understated but ever-present. This is a night-drive mix, a headphone companion, and a deep meditation on rhythm. Few FabricLive entries carry this much soul.

DJ Yoda’s FabricLive is a joyful, cartoon-logic mash-up of hip-hop, samples, pop culture and turntablist playfulness. It’s the sound of a DJ having the time of his life, stitching references, jokes, and edits into something that’s somehow both ridiculous and genuinely impressive. A true original, and one of the most charming entries in the series.

The series begins with cinematic swagger. Lavelle doesn’t ease you in, he drags you through smoky cityscapes, scratches over spy-flick strings, and mixes like he’s scoring a Guy Ritchie film in real time. It’s not a club set, it’s a statement piece: layered, moody, and stitched together with Unkle’s trademark sense of drama. Not everyone's cup of Red Stripe, but undeniably ambitious.

Pangaea’s mix is a jagged, exhilarating sprint through UK bass, techno, and twisted club hybrids.

One of the most modern-sounding instalments in the entire collection.

Daniel Avery delivers a lazer-guided trip through acid-washed techno and after-hours hypnosis. It’s sleek, controlled, and atmospheric, moving with that unmistakable Avery sense of momentum. This is the sound of 4am at Fabric: lights low, heads down, everything locked into one long, rolling pulse.

Special Request’s volume is a high-impact blend of hardcore flashbacks, twisted breakbeats, and system-rattling bass pressure. It’s rave nostalgia without the nostalgia-bait… raw, futuristic and delivered with maximum intent. Paul Woolford digs deep into the pirate-radio subconscious and drags it straight into the present.

Still one of the most technically astonishing mixes in the series, Scratch Perverts unleash a high-speed collage of hip-hop, breaks, drum & bass and scratch-battle wizardry. It’s explosive, restless and full of jaw-dropping moments, yet never loses its sense of groove. A monument to turntablism.

Dimension’s FabricLive entry hits with cinematic, high-velocity drum & bass built for big rooms and bigger sound systems. The pacing is tight, the selection is sleek, and the tension-and-release moments land with surgical force. Polished, energetic, and engineered for maximum adrenaline, a modern D&B stormer.

Andy C and DJ Hype deliver a full-throttle, double-barrelled celebration of drum & bass culture.

It’s a mix that feels like standing in the eye of the rave itself: loud, relentless, and utterly iconic.

DJ Marky brings sunshine, swing, and pure musicality to his FabricLive outing. The mix is brisk but buoyant, full of liquid rollers, soulful vocals, and that signature Brazilian flair. Marky’s transitions glide, his selection sparkles, and the whole thing radiates joy. It’s impossible not to smile.

Daphni’s mix is a raw, looping, ecstatic exploration of dance-floor hypnosis. Daniel Snaith digs into analogue textures, afro-rhythms, left-field house, and psychedelic repetition, creating a mix that feels alive and constantly mutating. It’s organic, strange, and absolutely infectious… one of the boldest entries in the entire series.

Dark, bass-heavy and full of warehouse swagger, My Nu Leng’s FabricLive volume captures the murky, muscular sound that defined UK bass in the mid-2010s. Sharp drops, grime pressure, and rolling low-end energy keep the momentum high throughout. A gritty, nocturnal highlight of the modern era of the series.

Hazard’s mix is a compact, razor-edged blast of jump-up drum & bass… no filler, no downtime, just rowdy, perfectly engineered club energy. Punchy drums, cheeky basslines, and Hazard’s instinct for dancefloor destruction combine into a mix that feels built for sweaty, packed rooms. Pure fun, pure chaos, pure Hazard.

Commix deliver a sleek, atmospheric, and meticulously controlled journey through the deeper corners of drum & bass. The selections are spacious, the grooves are hypnotic, and the whole mix moves with an elegant, patient confidence. It’s a minimal D&B masterclass, made with craft and care.

Friction’s FabricLive is polished, high-energy drum & bass from a DJ who knows exactly how to structure a rave. Fast blends, big tunes, and a constant sense of forward motion define the set. It’s crisp, versatile, and expertly paced… the sound of a selector at peak command.

Jackmaster’s entry is a joyous, restless blend of house, techno, electro, and curveballs only he would think to throw in. The mixing is tight, the track choices are cheeky, and the overall vibe is pure Jack: eclectic, high-tempo, and unashamedly fun. A party from start to finish.

Tayo’s mix is a deep dive into breaks, bass, and dubwise pressure… a swagger-filled reflection of the breakbeat scene’s golden years. The selections are chunky and rolling, with touches of electro, garage, and dub adding depth. A criminally overlooked but totally definitive slice of the era.

Caspa & Rusko’s legendary contribution is the moment dubstep exploded into mainstream club consciousness. Wobbly basslines, half-step swagger, rave stabs and dubwise grit collide in a mix that defined an entire sound. It’s loud, rowdy, and unforgettable… the FabricLive that launched a thousand rewinds.

I’m working on it… bear with me & check back soon.
