Recent interviewees Buraka Som Sistema are keeping things close to home - mixing installment #49 in the consistently excellent Fabric Live series.

Seaking about the mix, the Portuguese trio - who are signed to Fabric's label - note the influence their adopted kuduro sound is having within the world of bass: "it’s very exciting to be out there doing different music and influencing different sounds. A lot of artists, like some dubstep artists and even some UK funky are picking up on the sound, and that’s amazing. That’s something that we are really happy to be part of.

"We also wanted to avoid making a compilation of 20 club bangers that two months from now are going to be totally forgotten and people are going to be totally sick of them because they’ve heard it in the club so many times already. We also wanted to have a lot of our fresh material on there. And thirdly, we wanted to achieve a kind of flow where there are moments in the mix for you to relax, like Zomby’s track.” The mix is released on December 7.
