VA - fabric presents Chaos In The CBD

The duo’s strong grasp of house music history makes this compilation essential listening. The first time almost half of the music is available digitally, from sought after vinyl to pulling from a DAT tape, compiling it was a musical expedition and fabric’s most challenging licensing project to date. Creating a tunnel between 1990 to 2007, the mix is a timeless listen, condensing the ebbs, flows, gear changes and the feelings that surface during an all-night set experience in 80 mins. Set to stand the test of time, it will surely be appreciated by older heads of the rave just as much as the new generation cutting their teeth on dance music.
“An ode to what we believe are the hidden gems of house music that have made a huge impact on us. We’ve adored so many of these tracks for years, some we’ve never been able to play out until now because we couldn’t source high quality digital versions or vinyl was super rare. It’s an honor to rejuvenate these records. To keep the flames alive is very important to us. We’ve loved the process of compiling this, and how much work fabric put into licensing these tracks makes it even more special.”
The first single comes courtesy of Chaos In The CBD. An exclusive called ‘Higher Elevation’ released on 18th January which blends in with the rest as an everlasting house cut with its delicate dreamy keys, fluffy bass and a groovy loop which you could two-step to forever.
“We always try to make music that is timeless and our aim here was no different. The true litmus test was placing it alongside all these amazing tracks on the mix that have endured for so long. We hope we have achieved that”
The highlight-heavy compilation also shows off personal artwork shot at the Egyptian Pyramids. A special place in the duo’s lives and a nod to Louis Armstrong, adding an extra layer of sentimentality to this stand out project.
Chaos In The CBD Mix Launch Party at fabric on Saturday 1st April 2023 with Fred P, DJ Qu, S-candalo and Aleqs Notal.
