Various Artists Fabric 30: Rub-N-Tug

• Words: Luciana Lopez
• Label: Fabric
• XLR8R Rating: /10

If you haven't been to a Rub-N-Tug party, there's little better incentive to go than this mix, where Eric Duncan and Thomas Bullock show off the killer dancefloor instincts that have made their soirees so legendary. Packed with house and disco, both pounding ("Let's Get Busy" from Curtis McClaine and On the House) and electro-fueled ("No Exit" by Rufuss), Fabric30 favors tracks with more to offer than just formulaic 4/4 thumps. The sometimes-uneven mixing zips through 16 tunes and an intro and, while it's not as good as going to the party, it's not bad, either.
