Now it's clear that Fabric Records decided to hand over both of its 50th releases to artists who bring a lot of innovation to the world of electronic music. After Martyn and the Fabric series, the time comes for FabricLive and the joint forces of dBridge and Instra:mental who operate somewhere between drum and bass and dubstep.
A while ago the three formed a creative alliance called Autonomic. As a result a club night, a podcast, an umbrella for their labels, and, most crucially, a style was born. The Autonomic sound is music first, drum & bass second. The people behind it are not setting out to make a drum & bass track; they are setting out simply to make music, producing compositions that are emotionally charged, personally edifying and organic.
After a year of server-crashing Autonomic podcasts - that have shown an overwhelming thirst around the world for drum & bass that does not conform to any institutionalised boundaries - dBridge & Instra:mental have mixed 'FabricLive 50'. And as the authors say by themselves: we wanted the CD to be like the best podcast we've ever done.
'FabricLive 50: D-Bridge & Instra:Mental present Autonomic' will be released on February 15, 2010.
