Since touring Australia at the tail-end of our summer, UK maestro Four Tet has been on a glorious streak in the studio. Following on from his hook-up back in March with the elusive Burial and the inescapable Thom Yorke, Four Tet has conspired again with the Radiohead frontman. This time he’s put a spin on Radiohead’s Separator for a remix 12-inch, which also features Pearson Sound and Lone working their magic on cuts from the band’s latest LP The King Of Limbs. The 12” is due out in early August.

As we revealed back in May, Four Tet’s other focus has been his entry to the FabricLive mix-CD series. The tracklist for his 59th volume is now doing the rounds, and it predictably looks the business. 27 tracks are worked into the mix, including some gems of his own. It appears we’re getting everything from ‘bass music’ to stripped-down techno and missives from the past.

“This mix is not about my DJing,” says the man himself in Fabric’s press release. “It’s about London and Fabric and nights out and my take on all that. The memories and the influences. I used old and new music, I used recordings of Fabric, and I made new tracks of my own for it. I hope people play it fucking loud and lose their minds in it and remember or imagine what it’s all about.”
