After a long hiatus, Refabricated is finally released! Our debut album tracks have been turned on their heads by some really skilled and imaginative artists out there. It wasn't easy picking ten remixes for this compilation, these remixes are pure quality, as we hope you will find out yourselves as well. As for styles and genres, it's really hard to define anything here. The album begins and ends in an experimental/ambient mood but anything goes in between: Heavy beats, sticky grooves, nostalgia winks and fresh ideas!
Massive thanks to all who participated in our first competition, thank you for your support, and of course... congratulations to the winners!

You can listen and freely download the entire album from soundcloud:

Here's what they have to say about it:
"There are a lot of things to be heard in this eponymous debut by Greece's Fabrics. A lot less glitchy than what you might think from seeing this handmade (and fabric-based) minimal cover and being reminded about the rest of the seemingly very active new Greek scene (potentially spearheaded by Spyweirdos), Fabrics deliver here electronica tracks which are not afraid of thick beats or multi-layered IDM complexity. The whole thing is still very abstract, relatively dark, and has a slight industrial-ized feeling which might appeal to fans of Tympanik Audio (though in a rawer manner). Pretty well done and interesting"

Lia Psoma, talented video artist and long time friend of Fabrics, has created an unofficial video clip for the track "The Mark 13" based on original material from the motion picture "Hardware" (which inspired the track and its name after all). Enjoy it!

"Just like any piece of fabric in the hands of a fashion designer can be transformed from a plain rug into an haute couture masterpiece, every piece of music designed by Fabrics is the result of the avant-garde tailoring of simple and complicated sounds, noises and textures. A patchwork of influences and inspirations, tailor-made for audiences pursuing sophistication.

Although their first release dates back in 2007, Fabrics were actually formed a year earlier, in 2006, making their debut during the 4th Another Fine Project annual music stage, in Thessaloniki (as ed209 & spinnet back then). Both of them students of Dimitris Adam's Music Technology class at the New Conservatory of Thessaloniki, their collaboration came as a result of their common passion for eccentric soundscapes and rhythmic structures as well as noise. The duet set out for the electro music stage with tampered loops and deconstructed beats, followed by the release of two digital EPs and the participation in various compilations over the next two years. Since then, continuous studio experimentation and live performances in Greece and abroad have led to the release of their first • self-titled • album: FABRICS.

The album combines electro, breakbeat, industrial, noise and glitch elements in a dark and futuristic way. Starting in a retro-idm mood, soon things speed-up, reaching remote corners of an industrial environment, to the inevitable destination, equivalent to a warehouse collapse upon the sensory organs of the listener..."
