Colombian born Adriana Lopez has established herself as one of the most influential techno artists of all time. 

Over the years, the DJ, producer and label head, has been perfecting her instantly recognisable style of brooding, hypnotic and driving techno through releases on labels known to nurture this sound, such as Spanish labels PoleGroup and Semantica and of course on her own label, Grey Report where Adriana has been developing and releasing music from artists such as Developer, NX1, Takaaki Itoh & more.  

As a DJ, Adriana has been developing her craft for well over two decades now, beginning in her hometown of Bogota in the late 90’s before moving to Barcelona in 2003 which opened up a global touring schedule with performances at the best clubs in the world. Her sound is dark yet groovy, its rhythm and energy offers pure escapism. It’s hard to find a more dedicated, consistent and skillful approach to DJ’ing…  

Adriana steps up for the second edition of our newly launched fabric podcast. For 2 hours, we’re treated to a ferocious offering of unreleased music, current favourites and some of Lopez’s own productions.  

Saturday 9th July, features Adriana Lopez, Oscar Mulero, Quelza and Tapefeed (All Night Long). Tickets below…

Hannah Holland’s role in London’s alternative and queer scene goes back over a decade ago. In the mid 2000’s, she began exploring the lines between techno, electro and house music whilst also being heavily influenced by the D&B and Jungle raves of which she spent most of her teens.   

London served as the ultimate melting pot and hub for development, nurturing Holland’s unique sound which took her through residencies at iconic events such as Trailer Trash, to festival stages such as Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow and to extended sessions at Panormama Bar and across Europe.  

She also heads up the Batty Bass imprint, founded in 2009 as a label and event series, it provided a platform for her own explorations as well as one for artists such as our own resident Josh Caffe, The Carry Nation, Lauren Flax & more.   As a producer, Hannah has collaborated alongside Josh Caffe on Crosstown Rebels whilst also taking up remix duties for legendary figures such as DJ Hell, Goldfrapp, The Knife and Planningtorock.  

Hannah joins us for 003 in the fabric podcast, ahead of her appearance at fabric on July 2nd where will be celebrating Pride with HE.SHE.THEY. Also on the night is Cassy, TAAHLIAH, Anna Wall, Massimiliano Pagliara & lot’s more.

Martyn’s music transcends the constraints of genre… 

Pick a track from his extensive back catalogue and you’ll be sure to hear influences from Drum ’n’ Bass, Garage, Detroit, Chicago or Dubstep - the latter of which Martyn was probably known best for having been influential in the evolution of the “Post-Dubstep” sound in London that was so closely connected with institutions like Plastic People and FWD>.   

This broad collection of influences has created a sound that is distinctively, Martyn, and as an extension of that, a sound that is very much associated with his own label, 3024. It has also found it’s way on to the best labels across the electronic landscape, including Ninja Tune, Warp, Hyperdub, Brainfeeder and Ostgut Ton to name a few.  

His ability as a DJ runs parallel to his achievements as a producer, having secured his place in fabric history over 10 years ago with his contribution to our fabric CD series. A perfect snapshot of a place in time with music from Kode9, Actress, Zomby, Joy Orbison and lot’s more. 

He joins us on July 30th as part of a weekend of music curated by Goldie. Which features sets from LCY, rRoxymore B2B Fiedel, Goldie B2B DJ Bone & more. Tickets and more info can be found below:

Next up on the fabric podcast series: 005 delivers a very special back-to-back session featuring Ahadadream and Champion; a flavour of what to expect when the More Time label co-boss and the Formula Records founder link up for FABRICLIVE on 5th August: https://ra.co/events/1548577

__

Ahad Elley, aka Ahadadream, has had an impact on the party-starting circuit since lockdown that's been well recognised, but his impact stretches long before then; Ahadadream formed More Time Records with Sam Interface in 2017, and has his fingers in several pies and projects. As co-founder of South Asian music-focused festival Dialled In, which launched last September, and mastermind behind No ID party which has welcomes the likes of Naina, Nabihah Iqbal and Jyoty to staple London venues, Ahad has played a key party in championing and paying forward the sounds and talent of South Asian DJs who are electrifying UK dance music.

With a tour in the works, the British-Pakistani DJ and producer has been shutting things down at festivals and venues across the globe this summer, with notable sets including a recent B2B with Daytimers’ Yung Singh at Glastonbury’s famous Silver Hayes area. His sound is aptly club-ready, often referencing his South Asian roots, whilst emphasising his love of drums, percussive hits and an energy that is distinctly London-rooted. The sounds of which decorate recent EP release Homecoming. Met with warm acclaim, The Guardian dubbed it as “the stuff of ravey dreams.” And we’re dreaming of raving with Ahad very soon.

Champion is one of east London’s finest bass and beatsmiths. His tracks have featured on numerous iconic past FABRICLIVE mixes (Four Tet & Champion – ‘Flip Side’ on FABRICLIVE 89: Hannah Wants, ‘Gunshot’ on FABRICLIVE: 88 Flava D, and Champion - ‘Cannon (Dismantle's VIP)’ on FABRICLIVE 86: My Nu Leng), so it feels right to be welcoming him back fabric for a Friday night. 

Since breaking through with a debut EP in 2011, Champion has been a formidable name in the UK bass scene. In a way, this pairing symbolises the legacy of old school fabric, and the new generation coming together. Ahadadream and Champion’s mix for us taps into some serious rave-ready sounds, reflecting the dazzling rhythmic rapport of these two. We can’t wait to see it in action.

Favorite Quote: “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” 

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
You are good enough. Your voice is important. Do not let anyone put you beneath them, and if they try to - use your FORWARD ENERGY. When the punches get more intense, relax harder. Breathe. Keep going. You’ll get stuck sometimes, and then you’ll keep going. Things will change, and you will keep going. 

There is not something deeply broken inside of you. We all have parts of us that are hurt and need healing, but the core of you is not broken. The core of you is beautiful and whole. And that beauty can be found. Listen to your inner voice, speak kindly to yourself. Healing is not linear. When you feel the urge to isolate, reach out. It is OKAY to ask for help. Learn what form of self-care works for you at any given moment. You deserve to love and be loved.

Imposter syndrome happens to all of us. But all of those minutes you spend questioning your sound, your message, your decisions, your selection, your transitions - all of those minutes you spend questioning and judging YOU - enough time will pass and you’ll look back or listen back and you’ll be proud of who you are and what you made. The mistakes that felt blinding will fade. You’re still going to sweat about it, just try not to sweat too much because it will keep you from enjoying the moment. You are not a machine! You are a human! 

Fuck the system. Use that DIY energy to create the space you long for but don’t go it alone. Find others, build something, do it together. Play the game if you wish, but remember you also don’t have to. You can forge your own path, one that’s less trodden. It will be hard and you will have doubts but if you keep going, you will find authenticity. It’s never too late.

Know yourself. Learn to love yourself. 

About the mix: In all of these years, I myself have never made a Daisychain mix. Now, here it is. Talk about daunting pressure! But with these ideas of time, transition and change, I did a retrospective to create this concept: my sonic journey through Daisychain. I went back and listened to all of my old mixes to select tracks that were of utmost significance to me during this span of time. I wrote down 125 tracks on 125 post-its that took over the walls of my dining room. I somehow narrowed it down. [Continued on website]

Our own @raleigh-harmony hadn’t done a solo closing on Harmony since 2017, we were keen on putting him to the test again after such a break.
By the time he started, @ankali has already been fully engaged after the energetic, self-confident performances from Dash, Zeynep, D. Tiffany, and Ayu’s cutting-edge live set that we posted a couple weeks ago.
Throughout the night—which maintained a steady progressive, adequately trancey vibe—Raleigh added a slight mental twist to it before everyone headed off to join their loved ones around the Christmas tree.

Enjoy the first two hours of the recording and await his forthcoming EP on Harmony Rec in the spring.

Ahead of Amniote Editions’ 5 year anniversary night at Bassiani on the 6th of December (cancelled due to street protests) comes a very special mix from Munich’s finest, BASHKKA. Derived from the Turkish word for ‘different’ (she has roots there), the name reflects a no f*cks given approach to sound and culture that draws people toward her like moth to flame. From formative days in New York City where she started taking inspiration from its wealth of queer histories, she carved an insubordinate sound that’s crossed the Atlantic and set up shop in her native Germany, where her liberating tunes have found common cause with such venues as Blitz Club, Panorama Bar and Amsterdam’s Raum just a hop and a skip across the border. The aim is to reclaim spaces, assert the existence of marginalised groups (SWANA people like herself for one), amplify their narratives and create moments’ where ‘individual heartbeats merge into one motherbeat’. Further to those activist visions, her debut EP Maktub (2023) was a five-track banger and labour of love that synthesised Kurdish vocal samples with runaway beats. The reference to overlooked perspectives and elusive spark found at the intersection of culture and sound is the driving force, and something that’s felt in the gut when she plays. It’s a much needed energy in turbulent times, a reminder that you can save the world and have fun doing it. For Bassiani Podcast 242, BASHKKA brings her inimitable rhythms to the fore of the counter-cultural struggle: brazen and rave-ready, a two-hour trip to the future, slamming beats from a true icon.

International, Dutch and Amsterdam Legend Tom Trago with this weeks IsBurning mix. 

Two decades into his winding voyage through music, culture and creativity, a producer, DJ, label owner, collaborator, remixer, radio host and DJ’s DJ who is renowned not only for his impressive productivity, but also the genuine depth and variety of his work. Tom’s last performance is still fresh in our memories it was a 4hour  b2b  with our own Carlos, both good friends, and they seamlessly shifted through techno/house and disco and keeping everyone one their toes. 


Highlighted track: Josh Wink - Used to be

“This song is quite new, but captures the essence of a sexy acid house record. In a timeless way. The vocals always make me wander through my mind, and makes me reflect on my past life. For some reason it really triggers quite some emotions with me”.

Tom Trago... IsBurning #161
