Overview
“Like my sets at FABRICLIVE, this compilation builds in energy from the darkest to the most infectious of sounds. Deep grooves and dope beats for cynics and clubbers everywhere.” - Nitin Sawhney
This mix is a confluence of musical influences and ideas. It's a journey blending rolling broken beats with furious rhythms; thoughtful, energetic and infectious. Kicking off with the deep jazz of Nitin's Koop re-edit, we're led into the broken drum patterns of his 'Eastern Eyes'.
Freeform Five's flamenco styled reworking of 'Homelands' contrasts with the deep gentle groove of Viennese Dzihan & Kamien's remix. There's dub with the Burnt Friedman mix of Tosca, an Atjazz remix of 'Tempest' and 4hero remix Nathan Haines as Nitin takes a step towards the dancefloor. Frantic beats come from two brilliant tracks on melodic drum n bass label Hospital. There's the growling bassline of Darqwan, into the eastern fusion of forward thinking production and traditional sounds of Visionary Underground. The delicate music of 'Beyond Skin' features the powerful words of Robert Oppenheimer, creator of the A-bomb, condemning his Frankenstein, and the mix closes with 'Hymn 2', a sublime combination of Photek's cutting edge production with the ancient sound of choral song.

Reviews
"Nitin Sawhney... provides us with a real treat. There are some real 24K nuggets here - not least some of the remixes of Sawhney's own music. Well done Fabric, and sterling work
from Nitin."
- CMU Daily
"Required listening. Overall, Sawhney delivers a brilliant mix of a brilliant selection of songs."
- Straight No Chaser
"...it's the world viewed at night, and whether it's Hoxton, Vienna or Tokyo, we're in a dark underground of high speed drum 'n' bass, shiny jazz funk, unexpected percussion breaks, phased flamenco and phat Roland 303 bass lines."
- Songlines,
"Sawhney has set his sights firmly on the dancefloor...every track here is tinged with Eastern promise, mystery and just a little dash of spice."
