The Manchester collective grant the US artist a full release with the forthcoming Curiosity Model.
There is a sense of mutual appreciation apparent between meandyou. and Workshop that has worked in the favour of the former so far. A relationship that began publicly with Kassem Mosse, Lowtec and Even Tuell playing meandyou. events has developed further since the Manchester collective branched out as a label. The debut meandyou. 12” featured Kassem Mosse, whilst an early live set from the Leipzig native at one of their Manchester parties was issued on tape last year. Workshop co-founder Even Tuell now features on this later split meandyou. 12” named Bookbinders to further honour the now-closed Manchester venue they used to throw parties in.
A fourth record from the Manchester collective features music from Even Tuell, Testtoon affiliate Sensu and Spectrum Spools artist Fabric.
Marcel Dettmann brings his MDR label mates Answer Code Request and Anthony Parasole to fabric on March 7 and we have a double pass to the event plus a whole load of fabric CDs to give away.
A rather impressive looking 27-track mix from the irrepressible Mumdance will arrive in March.
The great beauty of music is, in part, its constant capacity to surprise, and make you question your preconceptions and judgements formed from a lack of knowledge. Let’s take this Fabric mix from Illum Sphere as an example. The way I feel about the mix tapping away at the keyboard now is vastly different to the underwhelming feeling I felt when news of Illum Sphere signing up first slipped through the channels. Where does this feeling stem from? It’s hard to reveal without coming across as a total ignoramus, but I’ve never heard or seen Illum Sphere DJ before or really paid close attention to his music. There’s nothing malicious behind either of these facts, just a by-product of the current state of music where there is so much to take in.
The popular Edinburgh selector mixes The Knife, Domu, Tuff City Kids and more on the 79th edition of the Fabric series.
I’ve seen Dettmann play overtime to an empty club of 15 brave Australians (including bar staff) on a cold Thursday night in Adelaide. I’ve had him outlast me at Berghain, I’ve witnessed him power through 10-straight-hours of 130BPM techno with Ben Klock, and I just saw him play back-to-back with Luke Slater at this year’s Dekmantel Festival. If there’s a DJ I can trust to helm two turntables, some CDJs and a mixer, it’s Dettmann. With the future of the mix CD uncertain, it’s nice to know there are still DJs out there with the ability to rustle up excitement around the release of one. Fabric’s storied series has become the mix CDs main faculty, and Pangaea’s complete thrust into techno music and Move D’s housier edition have kept fabric’s tin packaging in production for another successful year.
We have two doubles passes to see Marcel Dettman play at Fabric on August 30 and copies of his fabric 77 mix to give away.
We have two copies of Zip’s fabric 67 to give away and two double passes to see the much loved German DJ at the London club on Saturday July 19.
The 77th edition of Fabric’s long-running CD mix series will arrive in August.
A second split release from the Manchester-based collective is due next month.
The 74th installment of Fabric’s mix series is a masterclass in house music Djing. Compiled and mixed by Dave ‘Move D’ Moufang, it sees the respected German DJ and producer draw on old and new records, obscurities and exclusives to create a simmering, soulful set. If you’re looking for a collection of sound-alike, Martin Luther King-sampling jams, this is not for you. On fabric 74, Moufang’s selection is subtle and discerning, with no big, obvious tunes getting in the way.
Patrice Scott, Dave Clarke and live analogue jamming from Juju & Jordash will support the London night club’s Fabric 74 launch with Move D – and we have two pairs of tickets to the event and two CD copies of the mix to give away.
Veteran DJ and producer David Moufang will helm the next installment in the celebrated mix series.
Ron Morelli, Legowelt, Svengalisghost and Marcos Cabral will be hitting the Farringdon club on Saturday November 30, and we have a pair of tickets to give away.
UK techno mainstay has packed a hefty 44 tracks into his mix CD which is due in December.
Bicep will join Rush Hour and Aus Music’s takeover of Fabric next weekend and we have two tickets to give away, plus a copy of Craig Richards’ Nothing Special Fabric mix CD and Aus Music vinyl.
