FABRICLIVE 63: Digital Soundboy Soundsystem
RnB/Hip Hop | Tuesday 1st May 2012 | Osh
Launched in 2005 by original ‘90s Jungle pioneer, Shy FX, Digital Soundboy quickly established itself as one of the UK’s most exciting labels. With a back catalogue that includes some of the biggest club hits of the past ten years, including tracks from Skream, Benga, Redlight and Jess Mills, Digital Soundboy’s position in dance history is assured. Three of the label’s biggest names, Shy FX, Breakage and B.Traits have now teamed up for the first officially released Digital Soundboy mix, FABRICLIVE 63.
FABRICLIVE 63 perfectly captures the carnival spirit of the label and its parties. From drum n’ bass to dubstep, dancehall to garage, via excursions into house and beyond, FABRICLIVE 63 showcases the Digital Soundboy crew’s ability to bring together myriad genres and styles in the freshest way possible and create a pure party-starting selection.
Mixed by Shy FX, B.Traits and Breakage, with each separately choosing their favourite tracks before working on the mix together in the Digital Soundboy studio, FABRICLIVE 63 features a mix of exclusive dubs and upcoming releases from the Digital Soundboy family.
With tracks ranging from Shy FX’s own ‘Original Nuttah’ to M.A.N.D.Y vs Booka Shade’s ‘Body Language’, the mix provides an inspired selection that will put a smile on your face and a bounce in your step. FABRICLIVE 63 ducks and weaves its way across the musical spectrum and, like the label itself, refuses to be pigeonholed.
The album hits the shelves on the 21st May following a launch party at Fabric on the 11th, where the 3 artists themselves will be spinning tracks with a huge supporting lineup featuring the likes of Scratch Perverts, Icicle and Dub Phizix.
