Sandwiched between volumes from two relatively young bucks --
Visionquest on
61 and
Levon Vincent on 63 --
Fabric 62 serves to anchor the long-running mix series with something classic, a sweat-inducing house set from veteran
DJ Sneak. Still, it's only the vibe that's vintage as these tracks are from
Sneak's current bag, with dates running from 2010 to 2012 and labels that discerning house fans crave, as Maracuja, Magnetic, Pura, and (clutch the pearls!) Strictly Rhythm are all represented in the mix. Interesting how
Sneak starts off with the hardest-hitting beats and lets the more luscious, jazzy, and warm stuff dominate the end, but after you encounter the hallucinatory house of
DJ W!ld's "Take a Trip," it all makes perfect sense. Looking for a late-night, transitionary, and tasteful mix that comes with just a touch of smirk?
Sneak has got you covered. ~ David Jeffries
