Fabric 20 is a DJ mix compilation album by John Digweed, as part of the Fabric Mix Series. It was whittled down from a five-hour set based on Digweed's time at Fabric.
Fabric 20 is more similar to Digweed's Kiss FM radio show, rather than his previous progressive and house mixes. The first half is punctuated with a techy, electro vibe. The second half of the set features more of Digweed's uplifting sound that helped make him and Sasha a global phenomenon in the late 1990s.
Many fans have commented that Digweed is "too commercial" or mainstream for an entry in the Fabric series. It received generally positive reviews, but some critics such as Pitchfork Media found the mix to be nothing particularly special.
