Fabric 20 is a DJ mix compilation album by John Digweed, as part of the Fabric Mix Series. It was whittled down from a five-hour set based on Digweed's time at Fabric.^[1]

Genre

Fabric 20 is more similar to Digweed's Kiss FM radio show, rather than his previous progressive and house mixes.^[2] The first half is punctuated with a techy, electro vibe.^[3] The second half of the set features more of Digweed's uplifting sound that helped make him and Sasha a global phenomenon in the late 1990s.^[4]

Critical reaction

Many fans have commented that Digweed is "too commercial" or mainstream for an entry in the Fabric series.^[5]^[4] It received generally positive reviews,^[5]^[6] but some critics such as Pitchfork Media found the mix to be nothing particularly special.^[7]
