Magda's 2009 tour de force, Fabric 49, is a thumping trip into the otherworldly that breeds a rare feel of mystique and discovery without ever compromising the groove. Crafted with meticulous detail and loving precision, Fabric 49 carries the weight of any Magda DJ set: intricate 4/4 licks that are bass-laden to devastating effect. Dramatic sounds and eccentric basslines carry the fast-moving, multilayered mix through the rising swells of Circle square, the haunting vocals of Luciano, the chilling chords and offbeat pop elements of her kindred spirits at Minus (Gaiser, Marc Houle and Heartthrob), and the Funk-filled sound-scapes of Magda's own productions. A watertight compilation that brims with lively character, and skitters with Magda's personal touches and effects, Fabric 49 is a reminder of how rarely DJs truly break the mould. A mix CD with as much artistry, perfection and vision as an original album.
