Crosstown Rebels have enjoyed something of a renaissance in the affections of clubbers this year thanks to a release schedule that has seen old hands like Larry Garnier and Freaks drop new material alongside the new school of house music in Soul Clap, Glimpse and Art Department (though the latter's two members are by no means new to the game). It's a pretty smart move by Fabric then to enlist label boss Damien Lazarus to select the 54th Fabric mix. Your senses lock in from the moment Four Tet's "Love Cry" rises out of the ethereal mist of "Metro Bunker" from Ryan Crosson and stay tuned in till the end. Momentum is slowly built up towards the moment Roska's delightful track "The Sheppard" arrives eight tracks in and Lazarus ups the ante for some heavy raw sounds from Soul Clap Cajmere, Seth Troxler's vampish turn with Art Department and Deetron. This mid point in the mix is a definite highlight, but Lazarus keeps a surprise up his sleeve when nineteen tracks in, the mix drops down a notch into the excellent "Was Dog A Donut" stutter of Su Kramer's "Magic Dance" before ending on the ambient droning weirdness of Bill Holt.
