| #4 / Thu, 26 Jul 07 16:57 From the man himself:
It is all my productions and it's a form of introducing an album as a mix. Every time you do an album and then you do the next one, people start to compare how the music is different, why you did it on this label and not that label, they try to define it, "the other album was better," "there's no hit like 'Easy Lee' on it" and so forth?it's exhausting, really. So I think you always have to find a new way to introduce your music and present yourself. I chose fabric because Judy has been asking me for 3 or 4 years now, but I've been so busy. And it's really stressful to do a DJ mix. So I figured it would be much easier to do a mix with my own music, and of course fabric is the perfect label for me to do this on. The nicest thing is no one will really be talking about how it's an album, it's all moving along very naturally - no big promotion or releasing tracks for radio two months before. I really prefer for it to be treated like a normal mix CD, with no hype. Sound-wise, the mix is going to be more housey than head-y. I'm more known for head-y, trippy music, so of course it is still very trippy and monotone, in the monotone way of delivering always the same tone and doing something to your brain. But it will be more dancey and housey and summery. I always think of the dancefloor when I create music, but not a vision of the actual dancefloor - it's always a vision of what's going to happen. Of course at a club like fabric or a couple clubs in Berlin, you have this already. But many other clubs, not so much - so it's a projection, a vision. And it's not one track after another after another, it develops very subtly.

| #12 / Fri, 27 Jul 07 01:11 I'm a little dissapointed by this news myself. I much prefer Ricardo's DJing to his recent productions - it would have been nice to hear him do a really well put together mix given his current form. the dude has taste, but a tendency for self-indulgence when it comes to his own trax. and making a DJ mix out of your own tracks doesn't bode too well for me, no matter who the artist is.

| #13 / Fri, 27 Jul 07 02:17 (Edited: 30 May 10 18:33) All but a couple of Fabric mixes have been an amazing show of the past, present and future styles and tastes of any certain DJ. It's such a pity that he considers himself to be above this. Maybe on another label, the concept is good, but for a mix-comp? Extremely self-serving and pretentious. Even Tiesto wouldn't whore himself like this... oh... wait... (Was that the same breath?)
Edit: Fuck, I was a harsh cunt. Love this now. Shoot The Messenger!

| #14 / Fri, 27 Jul 07 02:27 i think he has done all his own tracks as it would be near impossible for ricardo to compress a whole fabric set into 80mins. this way he has done his own choons which will (most prob) flow really well and suit 80 mins prefectly.
Correct me if im wrong.

| #15 / Fri, 27 Jul 07 03:11 I dunno the thing that really fills me with foreboding about this is that it sounds like he's making excuses for the music before its even released - releasing albums is 'exhausting' and 'stressful' but this is 'easier' and there's 'no promotion'.
Uh oh.

I'd have preferred a dj mix from Ricardo as well. One artist mixes can get a bit samey right? But we will have to see...

I will say that if it turns out to be true, I will be extremely disappointed. However, it will tremendously support my decision for voting against TEAM RICARDO and voting for TEAM RICHIE.

No! I havent heard all of the tracks and I dont doubt that they are all good listening, due to the fact that Ricardo is a very talented electronic musician. However, he is creating a compilation mix for Fabric not an artist album. I think his goal in presenting this mix should be to showcase his prototypical dj mixes and, I know for fact by way of hearing him play a million times, that this current aforementioned tracklist is not an accurate represenation of his work at a DJ gig. eric nicolas

| #27 / Sat, 28 Jul 07 10:40 I for one i'm glad Ricardo is doing something different to the norm - if i want to hear a dj mix of his i'll download one of his live sets, or even better go see him play. the man himself has said that he prefers to spread out over hours and hours, and I'd prefer him playing a 3 hour set than just 80 minutes. This idea of constructing a mix out of his own tunes is a risk, I accept, but I reckon the quality will be consistently high and that this will be much more interesting than just another dj mix.

| #28 / Sat, 28 Jul 07 12:28 This is what I hate about internet people. Everyone sits there behind their laptop having listened to some mixes they've downloaded and think that their opinion on music is gospel. Until you've actually heard it on a miassive system and felt his stuff live, you can never really tell how powerful it is. Listening to Ricardo's stuff on a home system is like eating with a cold – you get no idea of how good it is. It's all about context.
His Fabric mix is definitely going to disappoint because it's been up and coming for about two years now, so there's so much anticipation....which is a shame. The Baby Mammoth / Solid Doctor mix a few years ago had loads of their stuff on it (as did the pure science one if I remember). Everyone's just so up for slagging off minimal house music these days.
Let him get on with it – if you want a DJ set, go fucking SEE him DJ. No-one's forcing you to buy the CD are they?

| #33 / Sat, 28 Jul 07 20:23  for his choice! mixing a cd compilation out of his own tracks is something significantly smart! a new album as well as a Fabric mix had been expected and waited for a pretty long while from him... so as we say it here : " with 1 bullet, 2 rabbits down" also, as a real fan of Ricardo, trying to see him as more often as possible,listening to all his sets I can find on the web, I already kinda know what to expect when goin to his party or playing his mix @ home... while this sounds really new and unknown to me.. and it defo gets my full attention and anxiety... so I'm soooooo impatient to see what he has prepared for us... and believe me, when Ricardo says he's keeping his style of playing and sounding in this compilation, it's true! let it be Horse House, we will still love it!!! Always!

| #34 / Thu, 02 Aug 07 21:23 i dont see how people can slate a mix they havent even heard! its ricardo villalobos were talking abut here one of the most forward thinking electonic music producers on the scene what were you expecting a predictable set so you can go out and trainspot all the tracks of beatport? im glad he has done something out of the norm i think this will be a land mark compilation especially for the fabric series if not in mix compilations full stop. There has obviosly been alot of hard work in putting this together all new tracks from him! how often does this happen i for one am very excited to hear this theres always going to be critics but doesent everyone have the right to be innocent until proven guilty.

True..so very true. I have heard the samples on fabriclondon.com and it sounds brilliant, like one whole track. A bit like Richie's DE9|Transitions mix... Also, the Baby Mammoth/Beige/Solid Doctor was all work done by them under different aliases.

Specially a Fabric mix which is made to simulate the "real life" experience of being inside that club, the atmosphere, the sound and the people. All power to Ricardo, in the end like a good friend of mine says 'everyone ends up complaining one way or the other'.

yawn, yawn...try to keep an open mind here...ricardo has never made a mix which was dissapointing & if you didn't hear the tracks yet, you know next to nothing at this stage...one thing you do know, is that you are almost always in good hands with him; just wait and see...

Another thing is he's collaborating with Prisioneros which is one of the best Chilean bands of all times so having them on it can't hurt... Its so true what someone said above though, to really HEAR Villalobos tracks it must be blasted on a proper system at high volumes...too bad for my neighbours when this arrive in the mail in September

| #47 / Fri, 03 Aug 07 17:54 well... ever since his 'original' fabric CD was canceled some 2 years ago (allegedly due to drug rehab) we've been waiting for this and it looks like it's going to be a release of epic proportions. I'm not implying it's a make-or-break moment in Ricardo's career, but judging by the hype going around the web it's definitely going to influence people's views of Ricardo and his music for years to come. Personally, i think i'm going to enjoy this one

Can't wait to get this CD! Its amazing to see a compatriot of mine going so far from the many years I've seen him mixing.

Yeah, Fabric 5 - Pure Science - has the same concept. However, pretty unusual. Let´s hope these are not leftovers which did not qualify to regular albums..
