Lorca’s FABRICLIVE Promo Mix.

Nicky Siano Live at the Gallery Part 2. After a great response to Nicky Siano‘s first recording of the legendary party he started – The Gallery – from 1972, Wax Poetics have convinced the pioneering disco DJ to crack open the vault once again. Part two is a rare recording of Siano playing in 1976, with all of the selection and mixing prowess you’d expect to hear, and even a live drum machine jam around the 27-minute mark. Stream above and find out more here.
Locked into Ø. Number ten from the podcast series of the party and label Dekmantel comes from UK techno producer Ashley Burchett aka Ø [Phase], in the form of a 75-minute set of gradually unfolding atmospheric textures and hypnotic grooves. The beats are tensely restrained with the control of an artist who’s been doing this for the past fifteen years, during which Burchett has also released many records mostly via the Token label. Stream and download above.
Cinnaman previews Fabric set. The Dutch DJ-don and brains behind the Colors club nights in Amsterdam, Cinnaman presents a dexterous and eclectic set as his FABRICLIVE promo mix, which serves as a preview of what one should expect from his forthcoming appearance. Stream and download above.
