[Mix Of The Week # 29] Ricardo Villalobos

For many, including Fabric resident and musical curator, Ricardo Villalobos is the crème del a crème of DJs with an incredible ability to wind together expansive sets of minimal techno, avant garde beatless soundscapes, house and more.  His sets at London's Fabric have become the stuff of legends with extending sets going well into the following day featuring curve ball selections such as The Artful Dodger – Rewind and The Imperial March from Star Wars.

For this weeks Mix Of The Week we turn to a section of Ricardo's set recorded live from Voltt at Amsterdam's Paradiso back in 2009.

 

This weekend Ricardo will join Cocoon boss Sven Vath, Detroit techno pioneer Richie Hawtin and Fabric legend Craig Richards for the 5^th anniversary of Cocoon In The Park at Temple Newsam, Leeds.  With the weather forecast promising the heat wave will continue, the site set up has begun and we are happy to announce this years event will take place back in it's original position at the bottom of the hill with the impressive Temple Newsam hall in view.

Tickets have been shifting over the past couple of weeks for this weekend's event and advance tickets are the only way to guarantee entry.
