fabric presents by TSHA
A contemporary old skool Acid mix
TSHA got an early break when Bonobo included her track Sacred in his fabric presents mix, so it seems fitting that she now graduates with her contribution to the esteemed series. And based solely on the well-selected, immaculately mixed tracks, the future is looking bright for the young London-based DJ and producer. The fact that she was also BBC Radio 1’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2021 (with a selection of well-received EPs to date) makes it clear we're looking at a precocious talent. This fabric mix though... is just fantastic.
Incorporating flavours of ‘90s dance and old skool Acid House with contemporary cuts from breakthrough artists (including her own track BOYZ) it's a perfectly-paced, rollicking ride. Fluidly connecting genres and styles, you can take your pick from any number of sequences that prove pleasing, for example, halfway through we've got soulful Disco (from Nowsm) followed by rolling bass and drums (on one of my particular favs Downtown by Sally C) going into big room Techno (with Nicolson). It does what all the best mixes do, pleasantly surprise you for the first couple of listens then leave you with an air of anticipation for subsequent ventures. And like the best fabric mixes, thoroughly enjoyable too.
