- For the first time in the series' history, a vinyl LP featuring tunes from the mix will see release via Fabric Records.
Fabriclive 83 has been mixed by Logan Sama.
The KeepinItGrimy boss and long-time grime DJ has compiled a selection of 24 instrumentals featuring 66 MCs, including Novelist, D Double E, Ghetts and Flowdan. "To be invited to record a Fabriclive mix was a great honour," Sama says. "I wanted to make a real statement so I called up the producers I have been supporting over the last couple of years and asked them to create something special for me. I spent several months collecting acapella bars and went about building a sonic collage over my instrumental mix."
For the first time in Fabriclive history, the mix is being made available on vinyl. The quadruple-vinyl version of Fabriclive 83 contains all 24 instrumentals that feature on the CD and digital versions.
Sama adds: "Vinyl has always been an important part of grime history. It gave us the power to get our music out to the public without having to be tied in to the mainstream music industry. Being able to make our own music and then press it up directly onto vinyl was so pivotal to the growth of grime for many reasons. When I was a teenager growing up and getting into DJing something like this would have been exactly what I wanted, it’s great to be able to give people a package like this."
The launch party will take place at fabric on Friday, October 9th. Listen to Rapid's "3rd Eye," which features on the mix, below.
