Fabric 21

From the Artist
"I worked from the inside out. I found solid tracks that could stand on their own, and built from there. I wanted to capture the energy of my sets at Fabric and be true to what I do, hoping that listeners will respond and relate to that honestly."

Album Description

Meat Katie, AKA Mark Pember, is a ceaseless devotee of "music for music's sake." Recognized by many as one of the finest breakbeat producers currently on the scene, Meat Katie has grabbed the attention of music fans in the last few years through his production and remixes for Island UK, Kingsize, Marine Parade, Bedrock and his own label Whole 9 Yards.

On FabricLive 21, Meat Katie provides a full throttle eclectic late night dance floor mash up. Lee Coombs vocal led "Banned Practice" sets the pace as Mark weaves through the throbbing beats of Albino Allstars, attention grabbing vocals from UNKLE over Infusion's enthralling "Better World." Real ear-openers include Jem Stone & JC's "Disco Daze," Meat Katie's own grinding remix of "Salty," Vandal's unreleased track "Mad as Hell," and future breakbeat heroes Atomic Hooligan's evocative "Shine a Light" keeps the listener gripped to the very last note.

If you like breaks..........2007-06-05

Meat Katie is a great breaks DJ. I could give it 5 stars but nothing is perfect.

Excellent breaks mix.......2006-08-19

I got this when it was released because I had just heard Lee Coombs spin "Mad As Hell" at a live show. Any cut that features Peter Finch's classic monologue from "Network" is worth the price of admission.

There are a lot of other great cuts on this CD though. The ones that stand out for me are

Banned Practice- Very 80's retro. I'm not sure who the vocal sample is from. My first guess would be Peter Murphy of Bauhaus fame, but it might be Jim Kerr of Simple Minds. Regardless, it sticks in my head until I put this CD in and play it in its entirety.

Mismoplastico- This cut sounds like it belongs on a Deep Dish compilation, except it has a breakbeat. Very nice.

Shadow Box- Great bass hook and floor tom sound. Love it.

Salty (Meat Katie Remix)- Great remix of this classic.

Mad As Hell- The reason I bought the CD in the first place. This is a perfect example of the sample carrying the song. The main groove is good, but the build section with the sample kicks. Imagine a room full of people screaming "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!" Ironically, the effect the words had in the movie have a similar effect on the dance floor.

All in all a great CD.

Slick!.......2006-01-08

Love this CD. One of the top ten in my collection. Funky, smooth breaks, driving beats, new fresh grooves. This will keep you rollin all night. If you like this CD, also try, Deep Dish Yoshiesque, or Lee Coombs Breakfast of Champions.

I'm As Mad AS Hell And I'm not going to take it Anymore.......2005-06-20

Seriously I had just written a massive review for this CD and it was just eaten by cyber space aaahhhh! So to quote the vocal from Vandal's Mad As Hell (my favourite track on this mix) I'm as mad as hell!!!!

This mix is an absolute corker and my best buy for the year so far I have been giving it a caning and a couple of my mates that heard it went out and bought it too.

So to keep it brief standout tracks are 1 (great electro style vocal), 3, MK's rework of Better World with the Reign acapella is inspired stuff and comes off very well. Tracks 9(get ready to Testify!) and 11 are also great, I really like MK's remix of Salty much more grunt and dirt to it with a Male vocal than the original. Then followed by Vandal's Mad As Hell this track should be huge and will undoubtedly get a thrashing from other DJs at a club near you soon. I just can't help but get pumped byt the breakdown in this track.
Finally shine a light brings a fantastic mix to a fitting conclusion its structured more a song than a dance track but it works well and gives an insight to Atomic Hooligan who if you haven't heard some of their other stuff that will undoubtedly change soon with their new release out now.

This is a diverse mix of a variety of styles broken whipped and twisted into a dancefloor inspired cranking release.

Big Up's Mr Pemeber you have excelled yet again!!!

5 out of 5 !!!.......2005-05-23

For those people who appreciate Break beat this album is a must have!!!! The fines break beat album since "Eargasm" (Plump DJs) and "Stanton Sessions" (Stanton Warriors).

This album is my personal favourite alongside FabricLive 08 (Plump DJs) from the whole Fabric and FabricLive series! People who like d'n'b might also find it interesting.

Fine mix CD.......2005-10-20

This is a great mix. It just doesn't stop from beginning to end. As far as I'm concerned Heather can do no wrong. The only reason I gave this mix four stars and not five is because I've listened to "Tangerine" over and over and over. "Tangerine" defines modern house music. I think it even beats the hell out of Farina's "SF Sessions".

I don't think Heather will ever best what she did with "Tangerine", which is actually saying a lot. She set the bar pretty high.

On a side note, after listening to this mix, Hipp-E and Halo, and Craig Richards all put out by Fabric, I can say that I thoroughly trust Fabric's taste. They put out some great stuff, and I will certainly buy Fabric productions in the future.

We need more house mixes like this!.......2005-10-08

I am a Chicagoan and I know what good house music is. Unfortunately good house mixes can be few and far between. Either they are too commercial and wear on you quickly or they are so minimalistic that they put you to sleep. House is supposed to be uplifting, its dance music. Heather hits it right on the mark with this album. It starts kinda chill but as the mix progresses it gathers steam and keeps building. By the end of the set shes worked you into a frenzy and you want more. I know this will be in my CD player for a long time.

Funk at its best!.......2005-05-11

Having heard Dj Heather's other mix releases and hearing her spin live I knew damn well what I was in store for. All I can say is damn, this girl keeps the funk going straight through without a doubt. Theres just something about the way she builds the set, and keeps great tracks going all the way through to the end. I rarely ever find myself not liking a song she selects. I don't know where I'd be without the Fabric series, I'm always impressed with the Dj's. If you want more bass thumping Dubbed out Funk in your trunk go get the mix.
