The year that ends today – Tuesday 31st December 2024 – has been a very important one for fabric London: this year the british club celebrated its 25th birthday and did so in the best possible way, with a world tour, a music marathon in mid-October, a compilation signed by Laurent Garnier and, above all, with a book and artwork that are both collectors’ items.
The book is entitled ‘fabric’: a 300-page tome available in three different versions – standard, record store and super deluxe – with images, interviews and previously unreleased content, storytelling “authentic misfits and visionaries who gave birth to fabric and made it grow, took care of it and kept it consistent with its history and roots”, as the book’s introduction states: among the contributions are those of Joe Muggs, Bill Brewster and Annie Mac.
fabric 25 Years artwork was created by British artist Mark Vessey, who has previously worked for Carl Cox, Fatboy Slim and Simon Dunmore, and who this time has indulged in immortalising the best of fabric’s compilation covers, compilations released from 2001 to 2018 without interruption, signed by LTJ Bukem, Four Tet, Ricardo Villalobos, Tale of Us and many others, and capable of selling more than 1.8 million copies in all.
‘fabric has always stood for culture in music, club and art and has always tried to be at the forefront of everything, with flyers of gigs and compilation covers – says Cameron Leslie, co-founder of fabric – we are really excited about Mark Vessey’s work’
