Fabric 95 CD

It's over a decade since Roman Flugel made his first appearance behind the decks at Fabric. Given that the veteran German producer has been on the line-up countless times since, this contribution to the club's long-running mix series has been a long time coming. Musically, there are a few surprises - the post-industrial oddness of Genesis P Orridge and Psychic TV, the bass-heavy hardcore revivalism of DJ Normal, the dreamy broken beats of Koehler and Ishi Vu - but for the most part it's exactly what you'd expect from Flugel. That means trippy, early morning techno in all its forms, skewed micro-house, warehouse-friendly reto-futurism and dubbed-out Berlin wonkiness. It's a blend that results in a mix that's as entertaining as it is atmospheric (and it's very atmospheric).
