Fabric have just announced the tracklisting to Zero T's FABRICLIVE 52 mix CD out June 14th. Expanding its appeal beyond the limitations of drum & bass, it effortlessly takes in dubstep, garage, house and hip hop along the way. There's also a healthy smattering of exclusives from the likes of Lemon D, Dillinja, Break, Calibre and special versions of tunes by Icicle and Paradox.
"It really opens you up as a DJ when you can play a good tune at the right time, instead of being obsessed with double drops and stupid timings," says Zero T. "That's what I was trying to do with the mix: to show my sets at a peak time show, but also get really eclectic in the mix later on - with dubstep and old garage classics (such as Wookie's Little Man), then some dub and straight up techno, finishing on some jacking Chicago-style house.
"At the very end there's this new crew local to my adopted home (N8), it's basically a hip hop tune that switches into something a bit like Roni Size's Music Box, with twinkly Rhodes and cosmic surfer samples."
Meanwhile, in other Zero T news, the second release on his new Footprints label is Zero T & Mosus – Shallow Grave / Beta 2 – Cabin Fever in April and number three will be All Thieves - Stars (Zero T Rmx) and Need For Mirrors – Sick In The Head.
Also forthcoming on Footprints are tracks by System, Code 3's Dakuan and newcomer Reds, and expect a 12" and an EP in the autumn.
