Chilean house don Luciano is the next up to mix an album for the Fabric series.
Fabric 41 is due out on July 14 and features tracks from D'Julz, Julien Jabre, Inner City, Phuture and Kenny Larkin.
'For me, the hardest thing to do is make a mix CD,' he said. 'Really. It was a big decision for me to d a CD for Fabric. To me, mixing is about the live moments, it’s about the moment you live with the people. That’s why you choose one record, and this is how you push the music.
'So to make a mix CD and already have a playlist in my head, it’s something that disturbs me. Then I know I have to play this and that; I feel obliged to do something rather than feeling freeto just create something. It was really difficult for me.
'I try to use also a lot of tools, some elements that I can put in and put out, so it’s more like a composition, but it’s still very tough to make a mix feel right. I took a very dance-approach and I tried to make a sort of crescendo, musicwise.
'It starts a little bit deeper with fewer elements and slowly it modifies and modulates into something more charged and more rhythmic.'
