Introducing the second release in Chapter’s (http://joinchapter.com) new music series, COMPOSITION_DISORDER with artist, The KVB.  Based upon the blending of disciplines of similar mind and direction coming together as an inspiration of sorts, COMPOSITION_DISORDER, features the artist’s own uniquely conjured interpretations of dark, distorted but emotionally powerful ambient sound. By creating irregularity in compositional spaces the perspective of scale and the listener’s place is shifted.

The second of the music series, Poetics of Space, is provided by The KVB (http://facebook.com/thekvb1). The KVB is an audio/visual project of U.K. duo Nicholas Wood and Kat Day.  This U.K. duo (whom currently reside in Berlin) blend reverb-soaked shoegaze with minimalist electronic production to create their delicate and ephemeral sound.  Formed in 2010 by Nicholas Wood and Kat Day, The KVB got started with a number of limited cassette and vinyl releases before their first full-length, Always Then, arrived in 2012. Two more albums, Immaterial Visions and Minus One, arrived the following year, Minus One being a proper release of material that had surfaced before in the form of digital downloads and extremely limited cassettes.

Poetics of Space was influenced by the strong, minimalist aesthetic of Chapter. The work is an immersion into this concrete landscape via machine-like processing of the drums. “We tried to capture the phenomenological experience of the architecture with the textured synths and guitar to create a solitary narrative throughout this imagined space,” describes The KVB. “We’ve also recently moved to Berlin, so that may also play a part.”

"Inspired by the personal journals of Detective J.H. which chart his investigation into the mysterious events that took place in The House In Harbour Park, Isobel Ccircle~'s album is part Clem Snide investigation and part X File, painting a haunting and often terrifying picture full of strange occurrences and unworldly rituals".

Jasmine Guffond - Useful Knowledge

Having released a dreamy album inspired by 60s sci-fi soundtracks, Swedish trio @death-and-vanilla were invited to live score cult horror Vampyr at a Scandi film festival and their slow, steady, swirling accent continued. 

Their new LP To Where The Wild Things Are,is a poppier affair; the warm analogue loops of their vintage instruments crying out for the sweet breathy vocals that Marleen delivers with a calm and enchanting ease. Named after the children’s book, the album celebrates imagination and the ability to delve into the less-explored areas of the mind. Exactly what we need to get us through today, we are pleased to present the premiere of album track, California Owls. Almost hypnotic, this is dream pop at its absolute best. Enjoy!

artist: Various
title: #savefabric
label: fabric Records & Houndstooth
date: 4th November 2016
cat.#: FABHTH001
format: 111 track - Digital Compilation

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.
