fabric Announces Summer 2016 Line Ups
With a deliciously warm weather system breaking in the city and officially opening up the summer season, it feels timely to share what we have forthcoming in our EC1 space (and beyond) for the sun facing months of 2016.
It’s a special one for us, with our partnership with Lovebox Festival unfolding this July we are currently preparing to take the ethos and values of what we do in Farringdon out into the field by installing a bespoke club sound system in partnership with Pioneer as well as bringing all our crew from the lighting operators to the sound engineers and the key artists that represent what we do.
Back in Farringdon for FABRICLIVE this Friday night The Bug lands in RM1 inviting a host of lauded MCs to join him on stage with P Money, Flowdan, Riko Dan, Manga and Miss Red all in tow while Phaeleh helms Room Two with DBridge, Om Unit and more. Over the rest of May dubstep citadel Deep Medi make their debut in RM1 backed up by Plastician’s Terrorhythm in the second space and Birmingham party outfit 02:31 return. Finally the month is rounded out with Groove Armada cementing their residency with the launch of their FABRICLIVE 87 album.
In June Foreign Beggars come to lead RM1 representing the best of UK hip hop with a special appearance with Skinnyman and Hatcha relaunches his dub weighted Hatcha & Friends in RM2. Drum and bass remains very much at the core of Friday night’s programming as Playaz returns to celebrate 20 years with a special full club takeover and key imprints Viper Live and Blackout also return.
Saturday nights are now sewn up over May and June with Craig Richards and Terry Francis in residence joined throughout the season by the likes of Ricardo Villalobos (returning for another infamous extended session) Sasha, Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, Nina Kraviz, Dave Clarke, Skream, George FitzGerald and many more. Plus two of techno’s most integral platforms come to Room Two with Function’s Infrastructure on May 21st and Regis’ Downwards on 18th June.
Finally in July after a celebrated 6 hour session to mark his Room One debut, Joseph Capriati will make his awaited return and we also see BPitch Control boss Ellen Allien and Visionquest head back to EC1. The month is completed by Running Back don Gerd Janson marking the launch of his fabric 89 album.
WetYourSelf! are maintaining their Sunday night activities, creaming the best of London’s local talent alongside international players with the gem in their programming landing in what always is a special event – their third Bank Holiday special of the year on 22nd May. This May Stimming comes to launch his latest long players Alpe Lusia while notorious crews Unleash and Keep On Going represent.
Tickets are now on sale for the majority of our events through to the end of July; watch out for more events going on sale over the coming weeks. Lovebox and Citadel tickets are available on their respective websites here and here.
