Top 10 Albums of 2011: #10

In a change to how the 'results' are presented from last year I have decided to announce an album every couple of days with a summary of all to recap once all have been announced. First up is number 10.

10. VA - Fabriclive 57 (Mixed by Jackmaster)



Thanks to the Boiler Room’s ever growing success it is now cool to be a DJ again, along with Oneman and Ben UFO the Glaswegian Jackmaster has forged a reputation at the cutting edge of the UK Bass music scene over recent years and as such was asked to mix the 57th instalment of the Fabriclive CD series. The mix is fantastic; it encapsulates a Jackmaster set perfectly never fearing to blur the boundaries between musical genres. Including anthems from Inner City, Larry Heard and Sia the mix has a strong party vibe to it while also managing to remain current as these classic cuts are intertwined with fresh beats from UK Bass stalwarts such as Addison Groove, SBTRKT and Hudson Mohawke. Thoroughly enjoyable throughout, a definite way to ease someone in to the musical realms that have made more waves than any other in 2011.
