London’s clubbing epicentre reveals spring bookings.
Fabric has unveiled its spring 2014 season, starting January 10 and continuing to March 28 – and as usual there are more than a few blowouts that get the FACT stamp of approval.
Standout nights include a three-way bonzanza on January 24 led by Eglo Records in room one with J Rocc B2B Kutmah, label boss Alexander Nut and live vocals from Fatima, plus Hoya:Hoya in room two with a live performance from Akkord, and Boxed in room three with Visionist, Slackk, Logos, Mr Mitch, Oil Gang and Murlo.
On February 7, Numbers boss Jackmaster (pictured) is in room one while Butterz fill out room two with P Money & Royal T, Elijah, Kahn & Neek, Swindle, Preditah and Flava D, and Rinse FM’s Monki takes the third room.
The Hessle Audio crew take control of room one on February 21 for the launch of Pangaea’s Fabriclive 74 mix, accompanied by rave veterans 2 Bad Mice and Andy Stott (live), while Daniel Avery, Funkineven and Kowton appear in room two and Idle Hands bring Peverelist to room three.
Plenty of other highlights to dig through, including the Night Slugs team on January 17 plus a Dusky Presents… night on March 14 and a Roska Presents… session on March 21. Head to Fabric’s website to buy tickets at earlybird prices.
