DJ Format gets the Fabric treatment...

Being from Southampton myself you've got to show some love to the homegrown talents and over the last couple of years a nice little scene has been developing. You know about the established Craig David and Artful Dodger a few years back. But you may not know that DJ Format is from this neck of the woods. He is the next in a prestigous line of DJ's who have headed a CD as part of the Fabric Live series. Number 27 combines funk, UK Hip-Hop, b-boys breaks and cut & paste samples in an eclectic mix that gives you an idea of where the inspiration for Music For The Mature B-Boy and If You Can't Beat Them Join Them come from.
