We are very proud to announce the release of our 55th CD of the fabric mix series from Skull Disco spearhead and all round dance-floor deity , Sam Shackleton. Inspired by a mind-blowing set from Shackleton at our Farringdon disco earlier this summer, fabric 55 is awash with deeply atmospheric unreleased exclusives. Links below to preview and buy the CD, we’d love to hear what you think of it!

fabric 55 is a timely record of Shackleton's electric live performances, recorded in the studio but directly inspired by the fabric floor. The mix features partly new and unreleased original material - as well as tracks that have previously appeared on Perlon, Skull Disco and Hotflush, but in very different forms than the listener will have heard before. Rising out of the murky opening atmospheres are Shackleton's favoured tribal drums and percussion that rapidly kick things into action. Refined sub-bass underpins much of the music here, alongside ceaseless drums, ominous vocal samples and layers of precise hisses, bleeps and mournful melody. Key to Shackleton's sound is a lightness of touch and delicacy in the arrangement that could be at odds with the force of his sound but instead illuminates the different parts and awakens the senses. At times seriously freaky and twisted, with frantic percussion and jarring keys, there's an all-encompassing deepness to the whole as Shackleton weaves a path that completely absorbs up to the final sigh of the closing bars. It's a mix that instantly captures the listener and barely lets up before finally releasing you after 80 minutes of some of the most deep, intense and beautiful electronic music you are likely to hear this year.
