London's dance music powerhouse Fabric commendably takes up the role of curator for the current explosion of producers reforming the whole dubstep/garage/house + techno thing right now. Accompanied by an impressive clubnight lineup, 'Elevator Music' shelters Hot City, Mosca, Martyn, Starkey, Untold, Doc Daneeka and many more under a future sounds banner, helping those listeners who are too lost within narrow generic bandwidths to get a grip of it all. The hugely tipped Hot City leads out the troops with the post-Todd Edwards flex of 'If That's How I Feel', before XXXY makes a stylistic detour with the tough house bounce of 'Sing With Us' and Doc Daneeka winds it up tribal styles with 'Drums In The Deep'. Bristol's bright hope Julio Bashmore provides the deeper strokes of 'The Moth', while Untold's cracking exclusive 'Bad Girls' is surely one of the biggest pojnts of interest, complemented by Shortstuff's 'Behave' and Mosca's anthem-in-waiting 'Gold Bricks, I See You'. Special mention should also go to the tehno charged 'Elixir' from newcomer Vista, and of course Martyn's brilliant 'Friedrichstrasse', further fraying the knot of Berlin>London>NYC fusions. To sum up, It's all about as essential as gets right now if you're following the ever-morphing prism of UK dance. (Article paru sur Boomkat)
