Craig Richards Tyrant Fabric 15

Fabric draft in London’s much touted jock Craig Richards for their latest mix CD, and a blinder it is too. Craig heads straight into the good stuff by pulling Baby Ford’s Minimal Man project to open disc 1, his deep ‘Six Of One’ track being a perfect introduction to the minimal yet seriously deep music that Craig plays out. Hitting the German scene with determination, Craig drops tracks from such labels as Treibstoff, Ladomat, W.M.F., Perlon, Cadenza, Areal and obviously Kompakt, taking in such luminaries as Micheal Mayer with his ace ‘Pensum’, Baby Fords astonishing remix of Pantytec’s ‘Elastobabe’ , M.I.A’s deep as you like ‘River’ from the ever fresh Trapez label, and the soon to be massive Luciano with Quennum and their club smasher ‘Orange Mistake’ plus many many more. The mixing is tight, the choice of new house music is varied and expertly chosen, Craig mixes the cream of the crop with skill and a natural understanding of the dancefloor. Disc 2 displays more experimentation and a fondness for diversity, from Jimi Tenor’s unique jazz into Supersoul’s head nodding ‘Nice Daze’ straight up to Morgan Geist’s Environ winner ‘Food And Fuel’. Craig really lets his broad tastes rip on this second disc, and for me it’s the stand out mix, as the variation keeps it at a level above the straight 4/4 mix, plus tracks like Fastgraphs electro bomb ‘Systematic’, Carl Finlow’s Voice Stealer gem ‘Undercover’, Scape One’s analog ‘Programme Sequence’, Shake Shakir representing Detroit with ‘On That Tip’ and further bombs from Ectomorph, Dabrye, The Octagon Man, D.I.E. and South London’s Rag and Bone head honcho Warlock to give a hard edged finish to a classic mix.
