Fabric 75

"The main problem with this mix is not that it's bad, because it isn't. It's just that it's so glossy and even-keeled that Coles feels completely absent, like she set her CDJs to autopilot. The moody closing number, Fran Von Vie's hummable "Lonely Nights," best demonstrates fabric 75's flaws. The rippling groove is a dead ringer for one of Coles's own tracks, as if the record were a stand-in for a real Maya Jane Coles production. It's a strange and complacent way to end the mix. Coles says she holds fabric in the highest possible regard, but with fabric 75 she's given them an effort that's passable at best".

"Coles' new set, for the London superclub Fabric's custom mix series, showcases hard, dark and luxuriant tracks like Dense and Pika's remix of Paul Woolford's 2006 staple "Erotic Discourse" and NT89's bubbling "Purple Garden." Despite their unwieldy credits, Dapayk and Padberg's "Close Up (Exercise One Remix)" and DJ Yellow and Flowers and Sea Creatures' "No One Gets Left Behind" should appeal to anyone drawn to Coles by the singing".
