The closure of fabric has seen a reaction that has been completely humbling and overwhelming to all of us on the team here, from over 150,000 signing a petition of support to raising in excess of £300,000 in donations to help our legal fight. 

Support has come from every corner of the industry, with fundraising events at a number of different venues being held up and down the UK. This response perfectly encapsulates everything the electronic music community represents.

Both fabric Records and our artist led label Houndstooth decided a release that embodies this spirit would be a further powerful way to demonstrate the collective power of our community. We asked artists associated with both labels to donate a track to the cause, needing to act fast we gave a deadline of just 3 weeks in total, from inception to final master. The brief was simple, we asked for a previously unreleased track, either brand new or an alternative version of an old classic.

The response has been far greater than we could have ever anticipated, with an array of amazing artists delivering stunning tracks. Given this generosity every track that has been submitted is featured on the release, meaning an incredible 111 tracks make up the final running order, presented in alphabetical order.

Due to touring and time constraints many more artists could and would have like to have been involved, and we can’t give enough thanks to all the labels that have generously allowed their artists to contribute.

In the era of the playlist, this compilation represents a comprehensive overview of electronic music from the outer fringes of experimental explorations right through to music aimed squarely at the dancefloor.

Ahead of the court date which will determine the long term future of fabric nightclub we’d like to present this compilation as a document of this moment in time but also as the perfect embodiment of everything fabric is and stands for.

Untold - This Is How I [#savefabric]

multi genre enthusiast
co-founder of instinkt lab

UK record label based at fabric, East London. Run in part by Rob Booth (Electronic Explorations)

Been following dance music since the early days, started off listening to house, migrated to techno after listening to a life changing essential mix from Darren emerson and being educated by a friend back home about the joys and intricacies of techno who also introduced me to the Arches in Glasgow when it was in full swing with the Slam boys doing their weekly sessions.

Always looking for music that challenges and pushes the boundaries and I still like to keep an open mind and ears to all kinds of music from general pop, rock and Jazz. My passion still remains for techno which I fell is often misunderstood to be banging 4/4 euro trance. Music has to be about emotion and feeling, with my insprations and loves coming in particular the Detroit sound from the likes of Robert Hood, Carl Craig. However, not forgetting my Glasgow roots, they have been central to my inspiration. Maybe it's the dull grey winter nights that helps bring out the creativity in us!

Hoping that I can share my passion and enthusiasm and give something for others to enjoy while getting plenty of personal pleasure at the same time.
