A lounge inspired, funky house type of sound graces your ears to kick off Fabric’s latest release, mixed by house and techno producer - Claude VonStroke. It’s a sound very quick to have your feet tapping and a cool vibe working your ears.

This jazzy little number kicks off with "Cry Baby" by Ekkohaus, and from there the sound doesn’t vary all that often. Tracks like "Big Onion" by The Grand Puhbas,  ignites a little more variation into the sound. The Puhbahs funky, sleazy styling’s are a welcome highlight on this hour long jazzy house trip.

All in all it sounds the same from go to whoa. The loops are crisp and the horns are infectious but it all gets a little boring in parts. The vocal on Italoboyz "Bla Bla Bla" kind of sounds like someone’s killing a bird and Claude Von stroke's lone solo effort "Aundy" comes across like a jazzed up "Little Boots".

If you are into horn infused funky house, then this 46th edition of Fabric is for you. I give it a 2/5, with the stand out track "Maceo" by Dinamoe.
