6 Records That Defined Fabric, According To DJs And Club Regulars
Listen to the songs that helped artists form an attachment with the legendary London venue.
The closure of Fabric and resulting global outpouring of support from clubgoers and artists was inspiring. More importantly, it was impactful: it was announced today that the club will reopen after reaching a new agreement on operations with local authorities.
The sustained response to the club's legal battles from artists and club-goers all over the world was a reminder of what venues can accomplish. Far from being simply a place to party and play music: clubs foster community and new sounds to inspire, become symbols of hope in a rapidly gentrifying world, or even just give up-and-coming DJs something to aspire to. Before news broke of the club's reopening, we asked a number of Fabric regulars and admirers for the songs that they'll forever associate with that iconic venue. What previously felt mournful is now a celebration of the chance to create more moments like the ones they describe below.
5. Pinch & Mumdance, “Double Barrelled Mitzi (Turbo Mitzi VIP)”
"For me, the intro to this track just sums up the mood of Room 2 and the green laser, both from when I used to play there as a DJ and before that when I used to go there as a raver and spend all evening firmly rooted in the middle of the dance floor. It's part of a run of tunes that I made around that time with Pinch and Logos around the Proto album which conjure up that mood and space." —Mumdance
