Only great things make their 10th anniversary. House music has been going for plus 20 years now. A Technics turntable often lives well beyond 10 years without any problems. Harry Patch celebrated eleven decades on this planet which itself has been in existence for 450 million decades. And most importantly my pair of lucky boxers celebrated turning ten the other week. there are a few holes, tears and stains, but by god they’re comfortable.

Another thing that’s turning ten in October will be Fabric. After busting through the super club crash of the early noughties. At a time where large clubs and nights were ending due to a loss of appetite for big room trance in soulless douldrums, Fabric remained unphased and continued sticking to its underground music policy to pull through the tough times in club land. Their music policy paid off and the club’s popularity rose with the upward trends of underground house and techno as well as the emergence of breakbeat and the second wind of drum n bass. Before long, from the strength of the nights along with their much revered CD series Fabric were setting the trends and becoming the template for what clubs should be doing.

Fabric’s birthday has always been an important date in their events calendar. The lineups have always been strong and the party has been known to roll on well into the next day. Of course any birthday party worth its salt has to have a little take home goody for the night. Past goodies have included Fabric oven gloves, ice cube trays and fridge magnets. So with this monumental milestone on the horizon its not surprising they’ve gone all in. Its probably one of the most ridiculous club lineups i’ve ever seen. Every DJ on the bill oozes quality. There’s obviously the big hitters such as Villalobos and Steve Bug who can do no wrong at the minute. But then even after that you have pure quality from the likes of Daniel Bell doing a live DBX show, Ivan Smagghe, Matthew Jonson, Konrad Black and Michael Mayer. And even after that there are the solid long time favourites too – Andrew Weatherhall, Bill Brewster, Dave Mothersole, Doc Martin, Fred Everything. But that’s not the end of it… Daniel Wang,  Pete Herbert, The Revenge, Kenny Larkin, Swayzak. All great in their own right. To top it all, a Fabric birthday would be nothing without its faithful residents Craig Richards and Terry Francis. Truly an eye watering lineup. How can one possibly fit that into one night? Well the answer is keep the damn place open for two days!?!?! Saturday night to Monday morning – non stop! It is a sickening amount of time for a club to be open and definitely not for the faint hearted. But… i wouldn’t have it any other way. Roll on the sick note for Monday.

So whats the deal ticket wise? Fabric First members have first dibs on a limited 500 slightly cheaper tickets whilst the general sale go on after that at a couple of quid more. The tickets are broken down as follows:
£22/£25 – Valid from Sat 11pm – Mon 5am
£12/£15 – Valid from Sun 10am – Mon 5am
£8/£10 – Valid from Sun 10pm – Mon 5am

Tickets for the general public now on sale at TICKETWEB!!

The question is, how big is your belly?
