There’s a message in here... eventually it’s going to get through to you.

For the first time in our 25-year history, we are releasing a live solo recording by Craig Richards from the club. 

“This mix was recorded on the second of December at a Continuum party. I commenced just after five and finished at nine. The heady combination of nostalgia coupled with the past, the future and more importantly my daughter dancing next to me, resulted in a mix that I felt happy with. Historically, I have been very self-critical and have chosen not to release many mixes. Across nearly four hours this one seems to encapsulate the twenty five years of playing at fabric. In 1998 I was invited by Keith Reilly to play weekly at what was an imaginary nightclub. I had no idea that experience would continue for so many years. Playing vinyl on that sound system and mixer is highly exciting and a joy in itself. I am delighted that this has been my method of sonic communication and remain deeply grateful for my ongoing residency.” - Craig Richards


Craig will be joining us at the club on 30th March to celebrate his 25-year residency with a 25-hour Continuum party.

018 - Craig Richards - Recorded live from fabric

Artist: Various Artists
Title: [QR]V.172.TAM.24
Label: COD3 QR
Cat No: QR V 172 TAM 24
Format: Vinyl
Released: 21 June 2024

Track Listing:
A1. Avision – Hold No Groove
A2. Deetron – Pulse
A3. DJ Deep – Transition
B1. DJ Deep – What's Going On
B2. Deetron – Corazon
B3. Avision – Talk Is Cheap

In March this year COD3 QR delivered a digital threesome from DJ Deep, Avision and Deetron.  Now, twice as much is coming in June for the label's first vinyl-only release, with each artist bringing a second track to the platter.  As usual the tracks have been selected by Laurent Garnier for the label whose ethos is: Music diversity is our strength!

Fortunate to grow up around the rich club culture of NYC and influenced by the sounds around him, Avision started young on the turntables at the age of 12, gained his first residency at 15, and hasn't looked back since.  Around that time, he also began to hone his production skills and developed a distinctly New York-flavoured techno and house sound which is evident on "Hold No Groove" and "Talk Is Cheap".  It's the recognisable sound he's previously brought to the likes of Cocoon, Ellum, Drumcode and Hardgroove.  

Having been involved with making and playing music for over 20 years, Deetron is an artist who is assured in his ambitions and a skilled performer, maintaining a high level of quality in every aspect of his career: from mind-boggling three-deck DJ sets to his special touch on remixes or his diverse range of productions.  In 2014 he launched his own imprint, Character.  But has also graced the likes of Axis, Music Man, Subject Detroit, Running Back, Rekids and more.  Here he brings the original techno sound of "Pulse", alongside the deeper "Corazon".

DJ Deep got the party started on the digital version with "What's Going On".  It's now accompanied by the hypnotic "Transition".  So, it's no surprise to hear he started playing at clubs and raves in Paris in the late '80s / early '90s, including Laurent's renowned Wake Up at Rex.  The respected and versatile DJ, producer, label-boss and party curator is just at home helming the decks at major venues as well as mixing radio shows for Gilles Peterson's Worldwide FM.  As a producer his critically acclaimed appearances on Rekids, Kaoz Theory and Tresor, not to mention his own Deeply Rooted, have demonstrated his imaginative approach to house and techno.

Foster - A1 Maiden 161 Snippet

Spacetravel hits with his first outing of 2019 on Miami-Berlin label Hearing Colors second vinyl release. Four stripped down club cuts trademarked by Luca’s signature driving sound. A1 shows his 2 step influenced cowbell ridden flow whilst the A2 opens up in to peak time electro 4/4 . Tripped out B1 uses vocal cuts and a rolling acid bassline to maintain solid groove, before B2 brings that signature drive and punch that gets heads nodding. Mastered at Scape, Berlin with full colour artwork sleeve courtesy of Krikrak.

B2. Sintetic Dub

Dance Music.  It has records I bought at Black Market and Vinyl Junkies in Soho London plus ones I bought in Gramophone back in 1999. My collection is personal but it's also extensive. My mind is that of a vinyl enthusiast so I have not changed regardless of the advancements / regressions in society. I believe we are not in decline. We are lucky to be living so... hopefully this short mix is something you didn't predict as an intro.
