I'm a big fan of his music, and Tom is a big fan of my radioshow. So a good reason to invite him, enjoy our journey's!

Fabreeka is DJ and producer Tom Whitcombe from Cambridge, UK who began his love for electronic music in 1989 after his first ever visit to a rave in Jenkins Lane, London under the guise of the Raindance party franchise. Frequent attendance to The Barn, Essex enabled him to rub shoulders with the then forming Prodigy. Inspired by their rise to fame and original sound Fabreeka began to DJ and play sets out at the local warehouse raves from Cambridge to London. His DJ career went from strength to strength when he moved to London after playing sets at Bagleys, MOS to name but a few. Appearing late in the production game he had his first release on Mistique Music in 2019 and then went on to release on ICONYC, Massive Harmony, Mango Alley, INU and the renowned label of GMJ & Matter, Meanwhile Horizons.

Connecting Souls 099 on Proton Radio guest Fabreeka

I could tell you how long I have been a DJ, how many clubs and parties I have played, and who I have opened for; but that would not explain to you the love and intense passion I have with electronic music. 

It all started more than 25 years ago while I discovered a pirate radio station on cable FM. There was no internet at that time. It was then I first heard the likes of Depeche Mode, Yello, and Divine, to name just a few. When I heard MARRS - Pump Up The Volume, I fell out of my bed and went nuts! I religiously listened every week to this station and recorded every episode on my Dad’s Dolby cassette player, which had the ability to record two channels…you see where this is going!

From there I discovered my father had a Donna Summers album, which had “I Feel Love” on it. I listened to that track a thousand times, and too this day it is my all time favourite track. Thus began my search for dance music on vinyl. What do you think I did next? Naturally I tried to mix one vinyl record, with another track from my Ghetto Blaster onto the two track cassette recorder. It wasn’t pretty by today’s standards, but the kids at school were amazed! They had never heard this music before! I started making “mix tapes” for my friends. I would spend all my money at the only record shop downtown. I would go there every weekend and spend hours upon hours crate digging for vinyl, then come home and just listen and record. So began the journey to a life of music, DJing and producing. 

Electronic dance music expresses emotion, can tell a story, and paint a picture. It encompasses every sound created and yet to be created, every genre of music is, and can be, layered within the heart of the bass drum. There is no other music that can do this, and that is why I love it. 

On that note: It is not dance music; it is music that makes you want to dance…

My favorite music is ￼Deep house ❤️💥❤️

Inspired by the first mixing programs on the Dutch radio, Clement van Dijk started mixing in the early 80’s. Being the music obsessive that he is, it didn’t take him very long to find a local club (Display) to showcase his skills. After doing so for a couple of years the promoters of Arnhems hottest dance club; Luxor, offered him a monthly residency on the Stargate party's. This gave Clay the opportunity to play alongside almost every well-known deejay in Holland, and in countries like, Hungary, Mexico, Germany, England, Greece and others... 

This quietly-spoken DJ from Amsterdam has always understood what made people dance, but never compromised his vision of what good music should be like. By continuously following his favorite waxmasters, like John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo, he developed his love for progressive house music. And now as a big fan of producers like, Guy J, Alex O'Rion, Marcelo Vasami, Matias Chilano, Matter, GMJ and many more....

His style reaches from proggy house with some of the most beautiful strings and vocals you are likely to hear unto deep and dark progressive. He combines deep house, progressive and melodic techno into a hypnotic and intense DJ set. His specialty is creating an atmosphere wherein the audience will be taken to a different musical level. He will take you on a rare, extraordinary and psychedelic musical trip in to the deep space of the progressive underground.

Every first Friday of the month Clay has his radio show Connecting Souls on Proton Radio. Let this joyful Deejay connect your souls on the dance floor with his magical mix of progressive house, deep house and melodic techno music. Now in these days you can find him as a resident in the best underground club in Amsterdam, The Recycle Lounge Gallery Club, and in the famous hotspot Club NL. Here he is the organizer of the party's 'Connecting Souls' and 'HUG' that stands for Holland Under Ground. So if you’re in the mood for a party, let Clay take you on his musical journey...

Love, Beats and Progressive!

A lover of organic and progressive sounds :)
