- The hard-hitting drum & bass duo are behind the next instalment in the long-running series.
Calyx & Teebee have mixed Fabriclive 76.
The duo—Calyx from the UK, and Teebee from Norway—have established a heavy but accessible take on drum & bass since they formally came together in early 2000s. It's a yin-and-yang that's allowed them to dip their toes in more commercial waters while still remaining darlings of the genre's underground. They've released two albums together, most recently 2012's All Or Nothing, and both producers have an impressive solo catalogue encompassing labels like Moving Shadow and Metalheadz (Calyx's 2005 album No Turning Back is a modern drum & bass landmark).
Their Fabriclive effort is a blistering run of 34 tracks recorded on three decks, with a healthy number of their own tracks and selections from peers like Break, Ulterior Motive, DJ Friction and Blu Mar Ten. There are some exclusive VIP edits and a handful of older tracks as well—Ed Rush, Optical and Kemal & Rob Data feature, among others. The label says the disc "survey[s] the different shades of drum & bass that regularly grace the rooms of fabric."
"We wanted it to reflect what we love both inside and outside of the club environment," say the duo themselves, adding "we're really happy with the ebb and flow of the mix, which in turn is down to the countless producers making some sublime and immensely varied drum & bass we're into at the moment."
