XLR8R

Despite my love for many individual releases from West London's broken beat scene, some of the mixes I've heard have left me a bit underwhelmed. Not this smash set from the dozen-strong Bugz In The Attic production juggernaut. Getting rolling with two huge feel-good tunes featuring 4hero's Dego ("Got Me Puzzled" and "Having Your Fun"), the mix seamlessly progresses to the techier side of things, with broken beat's drum & bass roots clearly showing on "Time to Skyank" by Nu Design (a.k.a. Zed Bias) and in the truly massive breakdown of Ghost Records artist Daluq's "Oriental Express." A wide-ranging testament to the power of open minds, Fabriclive 12 shows this collective at the top of their game.
