Fierce scratching, U.K. and U.S. hip-hop, and electro-flavored beats all figure into the turntable crew Scratch Perverts' entry into the Fabriclive series. Arguably the most fun disc in the risk-taking series, Fabriclive.22 goes from brash U.K. hip-hopper Skinnyman to introspective rockers Radiohead and ends with five tracks of fierce jungle. It's no small feat that the flow is seamless, but these crafty perverts go that extra mile and drop some of their own remixes into the whole shebang. The Ian Brown number is an official Scratch Perverts excursion, but many of the other tracks get messed up and funked up enough they could be labeled as such. Cuts like the Roots at their most reggae and Dead Prez at their most electro span genres themselves, but everything is inspired rather than clever and concise instead of cluttered. This isn't history in the making, but it's a smart party and you'd have to go bootleg to acquire anything more mashed up and exciting. ~ David Jeffries Producer: DJ Shadow; Dave McCracken; Ed Rush & Optical; R.
