Flava D
Fabriclive 88: 10" Vinyl Sampler

Listening notes

Flava D's Fabriclive 88: 10" Vinyl Sampler was released in 2016 on Fabric (2) under catalog number 10FAB016. The release is a 10-inch vinyl sampler tied to the Fabriclive 88 entry in the long-running mix series associated with the London club of the same name. Flava D serves as the artist behind this sampler, which sits within the electronic and UK garage genres.

The record carries two tracks across its two sides. The A-side presents "Happy," running four minutes and twenty-seven seconds, while the B-side holds "Changed My Way" at four minutes and twenty-one seconds. The two tracks offer a combined playing time of just under nine minutes, consistent with the sampler format, which by design offers a selective rather than comprehensive representation of the associated full release.

Fabric's Fabriclive series has been a documented vehicle for showcasing artists working across electronic music, and this 10-inch sampler follows the format that label has employed for such companion releases. Flava D, working within UK garage and related electronic genres, is the credited artist on this particular installment, numbered 88 in the series.

As a 10-inch vinyl release, the physical format itself sits between the standard 7-inch single and the 12-inch format more commonly associated with club music, a distinction that may be of interest to collectors and format enthusiasts cataloguing this release. The catalog number 10FAB016 distinguishes it within Fabric's output.
