I know some people have already been blogging about this new Fabriclive installation, but I am currently writing a formal review for URB so I thought I’d post something now. For those who don’t know, cowbell-happy duo Pat Mahoney and James Murphy have finally been given the opportunity to create their own mix cd, but the endeavor didn’t come without reservations. To the boys, creating a mix was an awkward solo jam session but you would never know it from the outcome. They went above and beyond, even getting a Bozak DJ mixer specifically for the project. It’s full of rare disco cuts from the 70s to early 80s complimented by more modern-day counterparts that refer back to the same sound. I’m including four interesting selections from the CD below for download. Look for my full review of the CD in the Jan/Feb issue of URB.
