VA - fabric SELECTS VI (2026)

The ever-reliable and busy Fabric comes with a compilation designed like a night inside its rooms. This is not just a playlist, but a gradual shift in energy frombouncey tech house openers to after-hours hypnosis not unlike a DJ would create. Highlights abound like Scarlett O'Malley's "5am Operator" which opens with a bouncy tech house momentum that is playful yet precise. Mella Dee follows with "Invasion", with it's crisp percussion and the melodic turn gives it memorable sound. Burnski & Kepler's "Apollo" stretches outward into progressive land as its vocal add a technical feel without losing the momentum, before Vitess's "EPS16" hardens the flow into futuristic techno land. The middle section becomes tribal and psychedelic: A For Alpha's "Do You Get Me" has a percussive hypnosis that is undeinable, while Baby Rollen's "Room Three" drifts toward trippy proto-trance. From there, tempo rises. Body Clinic's "Kontrol" accelerates the floor, leading into Kitsta's celestial "Babycham Nightmare." Finally, Daisy Moon's "Oscillation" closes in broken-beat electro-trance chaos that is nothing short of jerky, nostalgic and euphoric. A carefully curated journey that really branches out if you leave the entire compilation on play. Its warm, then strange, then fast - mirroring the psychology of a proper club night.
