Veteran UK DJ/producer Anthony Child has been innovating techno under the name Surgeon since the early ’90s, releasing albums and singles on Tresor, Downwards, and his own labels Counterbalance and Dynamic Tension. Already so deep into the game, it’s about time Surgeon contributed a mix to the ongoing Fabric series. Fabric 53: Surgeon comes out July 12 in the UK and August 24 in the US. The hour-plus DJ set extends its grasp into the various realms of hypnotic dance tunes populated by the likes of Scuba, Instra:mental, Ital Tek, Greena, Starkey, and Surgeon himself, though the mastermind behind 53 simply says, “To me, this is all techno. That’s the way I think of it; I don’t subdivide genres, the beats are just slightly different places in the bar. They all have different feels and textures, but I don’t differentiate. I just like all this music, so I want to mix it together.” Check out the artwork and tracklist for Surgeon’s mix below.
