Raffertie - Fabric Exclusive Mix


Raffertie - Fabric Exclusive Mix
Raffertie again! Yes, another great mix from the madman. A more reserved than usual with less rave-based improvisation and sick wobble so typical of him, which does not mean this features are absent totally - just listen to fantastic R1 Ryders' Rubberband or Rafferties's Temper Temper. In this mix, Raffertie experiments more with crispy metallic basslines and fluid beats (Stagga, Starkey) soaking them with tightly looped melodies and distorted samples (Sequence Thinking, Dove) in a slower but deeper manner than usual. Well, this is an exclusive mix for Fabric, a mainstream venue, rather diferent from typical Bristol's clubs. He apparantely doesn't want to scare listeners away with his boundless music insanity, ha ha ha, and has cooked a proper mix for headphones (vomit riddim excluding!) rather than dancefloor mayhem. And I f..g love every minute of this.

Londoners, listen carefully. I know you live in the dark times of credit crunch and mass lay-offs, but if anyone of you still has a decent cash stashed somewhere and would like to donate this to charity, think about me, a poor blogger from Poland who would be really stoked to get invited to Fabric on 19th of June 2009 to see the mad Raffertie playing live. Send your invitations NOW!
