One of the key figures in bass music's evolution would have to be Bristol's Rob Ellis, better known simply as Pinch. His fascination with what the outer limits of the dub sound can achieve, has defined the so-called Bristol sound. Fabriclive 61 combines a blend of melodic mood-pieces, driving dub-techno and the odd mid-range bass wobble masterfully planted to maximum effect. Layered throughout with subtle sounds, textures and hits, giving further depth and coherence, the mix begins and ends at the same point, allowing the mix to be played as a continuous loop - typical of Pinch's innovation and attention to detail.
