Fabric 33 paints a beautifully emotive picture of Ralph Lawson’s diverse career, setting the scene with the thick acid basslines, swelling crescendos and dope beats he’s known for. Drawing upon inspiration from life on the road with the 2020Soundsystem as well as his own DJ experiences, Lawson has used each and every one of the 76 minutes to create a mix capable of rocking any disco or festival.

The feelgood, trend-resisting mix takes the listener out of the charts and straight to the dancefloor, with productions from cutting edge electronic producers such as Tejada, Romboy and Kohncke mixed up with the “live” sounds of The Rapture, Joakim and The Emperor Machine.

I just went into the studio and did it all in one take. All I was thinking about was the next record; I had already sourced the tracks I wanted to use. I’d been thinking a lot about it and I wanted to represent myself, Leeds and fabric. I’m not very nationalistic, but I wanted to represent what was coming out of Britain as well as at the moment there’s a lot of really good new music. – Ralph Lawson
