With high profile releases on Black Butter and MTA Records, plus huge remixes for Naughty Boy, Rudimental and Clean Bandit to their name, My Nu Leng are on the ride of their life. Deeply rooted in UK bass culture, the Bristol-based duo re-imagine grime, dubstep, house and garage. On 'Fabric Live 86' they deliver an eclectic mix of underground anthems meshed with new and unreleased material, covering a multitude of shades and colour. Opening with an unreleased collaboration with Kahn, the dark and moody atmosphere of the mix is immediately set, as is the consistent undercurrent of UK bass. Oriental-tinged instrumentation combines with a throbbing middle section before bridging into Klient's 'Shelter' and exploding into the unabashedly anthemic 'Scylla' from RL Grime. Transitioning smoothly yet with an urgency attributable to the duo's reputation for high octane set building, Fabric Live 86 takes all the twists and turns that have made the duo their name. Hypnotic vocal samples ring throughout the track selection before the duo introduce their earth shaking collaboration with Flava D - 'Soul Shake.' Its frenetic wobbling bass and deep resolve dominating in its clear designation as a floor shaker. The mix then moves into a percussion-focused section with the MTA-released 'Horizons,' Negativ's unreleased 'Stealth' and Harry Judda's 'Machines' taking the reigns.  Just as the duo takes a break with a special ambient version of 'Pushed', a steady 4/4 beat takes over in the form of Myd's 'Numero Uno', before Clientele and Nu-Birth respectively offer upfront and classic tastes of UK garage. Faze Miyake's 'Ice Cold' is ingeniously coupled with the classic jungle snare rolls of Mella Dee's 'Keep On', whilst Randomer's classic 'Bring' adds a splash of underground techno. A VIP version of 'Set It', My Nu Leng's collaboration with FineArt, along with unreleased contributions from Jus Now, T. Williams, Notion, Snow and Dismantle, ensure that fresh sounds dominate the final stretch of the mix. By the time Indigo's remix of Synth Sense's 'Tomorrow's World' registers and settles into its apt heartbeat-like ambience, the listener is at last given time to reflect in what is a fitting and well-adjusted outro.
