--- 
An empty page is before us.
Inner silence takes over our mind. A silence louder than our anticipation of what's coming.
With each of our cells, we just do one thing: wait.

Then, we hear the whispers of the page turning. The next chapter is about to start.

----
Introducing Gnork's new album: Inner Ride. It is something to listen to with your headphones on and your mind wandering. It's influenced by the cosmic and psychedelic sound of the 70's, from Pink Floyd to Herbie Hancock, with a twist of the synths of the Berlin school. 

The tracks were made in the span of 5 years from 2017, though they are not a collection of random jams. Inner ride is a conceptual, full-length musical work with 10 songs. A classic album that was designed to put on to your record player and to get lost in it.

Inner Ride

Gnork - Inner Ride LP  /// Out on Next Chapter

fabric, the cultural institution that has provided the backbone for electronic music within London and worldwide, today (06th September) announce the consolidation of 23 years of influence across the scene with a brand new label, fabric Originals. Drawing from the guiding lights of the genres that have been emanating from the club’s soundsystems and fitting alongside their already hugely established fabric mix series and Houndstooth label, the imprint aims to release special projects from the artists that form the present and future of boundary pushing club music globally.

To launch the label, fabric Originals today unveil A Day After A Night With U / Stars & Water, a new split 12” on coloured vinyl from hi-NRG pioneers @eris-drew & @octoocta .

Opening with ‘A Day After A Night With You’, Eris Drew draws on elements of 90s big beat with a propulsive twist, adding chest-rattling bass notes to anchor the track’s eyes-down 4/4 rhythm. The track’s throwback sensibilities push to the fore further with an infectious soul vocal sample and vintage feeling synths, alongside an almost spiritual mysticism that permeates the song’s skittering production and upbeat melodics.

Created in reaction to ‘A Day After A Night With You’’s dancefloor wonder, Octo Octa’s ‘Stars & Water’ takes on a much more commanding tone. Finding cues from a classic house sound, the track employs deft polyrhythms to build progressive energy. The track’s analog bassline contributes to its authoritative tempo before a beautifully spacious switch up leads the track from a high energy workout to a half-time wander through the track’s sonic oasis, before an ecstatic build towards a final climax.


Limited edition vinyl comes with an exclusive silver die-cut logo slipcase outer. A total of one hundred copies are available worldwide.

Orders are restricted to one per customer.

Taking the reigns on @portable-aka-bodycode's acclaimed track 'Ripple Effect', @call-super leans into the jazz dimension of his wide-ranging palette to reveal the sweetness of this beautiful track.

The remix sways from delicate piano to a relaxed, sentimental kind of garage, eventually edging towards an uplifting, off-centre strain of house music.

Produced in the depths of quarantine and finally slated for release, Majorettes’ new single “The Waves”. Born from a journey inspired a documentary on the art of sampling, the track was an ongoing project which became a lifeline for Majorettes throughout the long days of the pandemic in the absence of playing out and organizing parties which are so core to the group and the wider Brooklyn house scene they are figureheads of. 

Enlisting three rising peers and producers to rework their original, the trio have curated a stellar EP package to soundtrack fall 2022 and beyond, with some of the most exciting and ones to watch talents in the international underground house scene hailing from Mexico, Colombia and Brooklyn respectively. 

Por Detroit resident and Mexico City upstart Kodemul, delivers a body shaking, exhilarating rework pumped full of energy, rhythmic swirls and fills, and a spell-binding breakdown worthy of any dance floor. “We were blown away by Kodemul’s style and production from the moment we met and many of his tracks have become staples in our sets recently so it was only fitting that we got him on board for this project”. 

Colombian artist, producer, and DJ, ELO, also know as Leeon, is an integral part of Medellín’s dance scene as well as the American underground at large. His rave brake with such grace that it feels extremely fresh and like an old friend at the same time. “While hanging out in the field at Glasontbury’s Block9 this past summer nerding out over each others new productions we knew it would be perfect to have him bring his impeccable style to “The Waves”. 

Brooklyn-based artist PH Balanced takes “The Waves” into an ethereal realm with bubbling vocal effects, pungent pads, and plenty of twists and turns that are smooth, sexy and surprising all at once. “Everyone always ask to hear the PH Balanced remix over and over, you just don’t want it to end. He has such a unique presence in our scene here as both a dj and producer and we can’t wait for the world to soak up his brilliance”.

DJs, producers and good pals Warren Cummings and Joe Danvers-McCabe formed Kassian in 2019 after clicking at a party in Peckham. The two had been doing their own thing for some time - Warren under the moniker Warren Xclnce and Joe as Danvers - but after finding a musical symbiosis with one another, they decided to join forces and have since received a ton of praise in the short time they've been a duo.

Their first releases explored the realms of house music, on releases for Heist, Phonica Records and Shall Not Fade, but since they've veered into the world of techno and UK bass.

The launch of their label, Faux Poly, was a catalyst for the new direction. Starting as a space for their own releases, they're now welcoming new artists to the label, the first being London-based DJ Jay Carder and her debut EP Entropy, which we premiered a track from recently. When they're not running the label, gigging or readying their own releases,  Joe and Warren run their own East London-based studio, 38east Studios, which offers a fully equipped space for producers to come and make music.

Following a healthy string of gigs across the UK and Europe, including debuts at Panorama Bar, HOR and Radio Radio, and ahead of a jam-packed release schedule next year, Kassian treat us to a mix of bass heavy grooves, melodic techno and hypnotic broken rhythms.
