Hudson Mohawke, Jackmaster and more respond angrily to Fabric closure

Many who showed strong support before the hearing get their voice out tonight.

After weeks of having their license suspended for police investigation following a voluntary closure, iconic London club Fabric will now be forced to shut its door permanently.

Many DJs and musicians offered their support via social media and by encouraging people to sign a change.org petition in favor of keeping Fabric open. Following the decision by Islington Council not to renew its license, Mumdance, The Black Madonna and more have expressed their anger and sadness. We’ll be adding to the tributes as they roll in this morning so keep checking back.

I’m sick to my stomach. As an American in Kentucky the Fabric mixes were my window to the world. This is inconceivable.

Respect. Love. And Solidarity with all who made Fabric the legend that it will always be.

I cannot believe Fabric had its license revoked.I can’t help but feel the powers that be made their decision long before it went to summons.

Anyone got a hook-up for some luxury flats in the EC1 area? I'm in the market for a sick crash / banter pad.

When oppressive government policy shuts down important cultural institutions, as a creative population we have a new obligation to innovate

— LOUISAHHH!!! (@LOUISAHHHh) September 7, 2016

I dont fully understand the process – does this mean they dont get a warning, just immediate closure? Seems extreme.https://t.co/X9nQY1iYVi

— Holly Herndon (@hollyherndon) September 7, 2016

London is being torn apart, sold brick by brick. It’s very soul buried under luxury flats and developments. Truly heartbreaking

— Cosmin TRG (@CosminTRG) September 7, 2016

damn upset about fabric. First club to ever book j&j to play live. Paid us well even when nobody knew our music. Wonderful staff. Open

So sad to hear @FABRICLONDON is closing. Brainfeeder 2010 was a memory we'll never forget… pic.twitter.com/LmqeMInGPh

Closing Fabric won't make people safer.

— Jas shaw (@Jas_shaw) September 7, 2016

So sad for the incredible team at Fabric. Went first time at age 18/19, played at the club maybe 40 times as Commix/Shifted. Feel bereft.

— Shifted (@SHFTD_AVN) September 7, 2016

Just woke up and heard the news. Gutted for the whole team. This is fucked

— Elijah (@Eli1ah) September 7, 2016

the end of a long and cynical campaign against the club by the police and @IslingtonBC which started a long time before these recent deaths

— Ben UFO (@BenUFO) September 7, 2016

the exploitation of drug deaths to serve the interests of the very rich by those who are supposed to represent us feels too grim to be real

— Ben UFO (@BenUFO) September 7, 2016

I had some drugs I was going to take on Sat at Fabric, but now it is closed so I will throw them down the toilet and never take drugs again

— Jon Hopkins (@Jon_Hopkins_) September 7, 2016

Protest rave outside fabric today I reckon, bring your sound systems

— Mr. Mitch (@mrmitchmusic) September 7, 2016

..50% of London's clubs have closed in the last 8 years, and 40% of live venues. This just isn't good enough for London. Help us @SadiqKhan

— Disclosure (@disclosure) September 7, 2016

Feel very privileged to have been a part of some of the last few nights & the last Fabriclive CD

Long live Fabric!https://t.co/wyHPYQi3rv
