Agoria has mixed the next edition of [I]Fabric[/I], due for release in April.

Sebastian Devaud has a particular flair with mix CDs. As past efforts like [I]Cute & Cult[/I], [I]At The Controls[/I] and especially last year's [I]Balance 016[/I] made clear, he's not content to just string a bunch of good songs together. He prefers to stay involved, sometimes layering several tracks into the mix at once and making as many unlikely combinations as possible.

"Even if I'm playing a lot of techno in my DJ set I always manage to try to mix tracks that are not supposed to fit together," he says. "Here I was happy to create a remix live of Ella Fitzgerald mixed with four other tracks for example–or to arrange a new 'Speechless' vocal version with Sun Ra, a trio with [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=310"]Carl Craig[/url] and La Scalars."

[I]Fabric 57[/I] is divided into 20 tracks, though the mix itself is much more complex than that: the first track weaves together three songs at once, and a few others are used as recurring motifs throughout the mix, including STL's "Silent State" and Lil Tony's remix of "Treehouse." It arrives hot on the heels of Agoria's latest album, [I]Impermanence[/I], which came out last month through Infine, the label he co-founded in 2006.

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

saw him play last friday in Vienna, don't remember any of it

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

As much as I'll look forward to checking this out, the layers and edits and hype in these press releases are boring. They tell me nothing about the overall journey or vibe. Clearly it's not music to be enjoyed but a work of art to be wanked over.

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

nothing wrong with enjoying a wank

Totally agree, getting bored of every mix saying the same thing. Firstly they need to concentrate on picking tunes that are decent, not just 30+ tunes that are 'cool'.

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

^^ great point !

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

fabric57 is worth a listen :) x

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

Pretty decent - played this in the car yesterday.

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

I think this one is pretty good. [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=103"]Agoria[/url] and [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=90"]Joris Voorn[/url] are the only people I've heard who can pull this off and not sound like asshats though.

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

btw anyone who drops ella in the mix without sounding like a complete tosser gets a few points from me ;)

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

[QUOTE=unrecogniseduser;936496]nothing wrong with enjoying a wank[/QUOTE]

+1 (esp over "art")

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

cd arrived the other day, listened a few times now. Seems I am not feeling it as much as I did the Balance cd he did. Will give it another try later on. I definitely like quite a lot of the tracks individually though

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

mine came yesterday some decent sounds never heard an [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=103"]agoria[/url] mix b4 its a good cd

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

it's a mess of pieces of a few of the other tracks

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

[QUOTE=Huggie Smiles;946246]whats is the fabric puppets thing all about? for those that have heard the cd?[/QUOTE]

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

I'm willing to give this a couple spins before I post an opinion ;)

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

I've always found that [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=103"]Agoria[/url]'s stuff grows on you. I wasn't too impressed with his balance cds when I first heard them, but after a couple of listens, something clicked. I'm hoping he gets a shot at an essential mix sometime soon.

Re: Agoria - Fabric 57

Glad you like! And yes, it does feature Ella, AND..it is both decent and cool :D
