It was announced, i dunno, maybe a year ago. Maybe more. Shit all the way back then Tony Blair was still Prime Minister and Uffie wasn’t annoying. Alot of time has passed, with baited breath waiting for this goddamned Justice Fabric mix. And then it got rejected. It was rejected because it was supposedly too short and not what Fabric bargained for. In other words Fabric were expecting apocalyptic and thumping blasts of Justice’s typical electro, in order to sell to thousands of new-raving kids. The rejected mix was then given out for free as a ‘Christmas Mix’ at their live shows. Its pretty eclectic – the kind of thing you’d expect from Justice if they were compiling a DJ Kicks CD. Its got pop, electro, disco and indie, all quite nicely blended together:

Its certainly better than the humdrum MANDY mix for Fabric that replaced it. After repeat listening i began to really enjoy this. Treat it as an ode to old school pop, bootlegged to Justice’s regular retro distortion noises. Interesting at any rate, but not one for the stereotypical Fabric crowd.
