As virtually the last entity making a go at selling legitimate mix-sets, Fabric’s monthly CD series has become the one stop for encapsulating an entire decade’s worth of electronic music. Since it’s launch in 2001, Fabric has released 98 mix CDs—the final one of the decade being a set by Buraka Som Sistema. Here’s the ten Fabric mixes that best cover the oughties, in no set order.:

YEAH! GO FABRIC 29!!!
