Fabric London, A Staple In Dance Music Community Is Saved

Fabric in London is easily one of the most iconic nightclubs in the dance music community, on par with clubs such as Space Ibiza, Verboten New York, and Berghain in Berlin. When it was announced that the nearly 20-year old club would be closing, the dance music community all over the world banded together in an effort to save this landmark. Fabric London is more than just a club, more than just a gathering place for Londoners to take on the night, it became a staple of the culture itself. The fight for Fabric London was more than just about having a place to party on the weekends, it was about the fight for a safe space for dance music lovers. To fight the great fight, producers from all over teamed up to save this iconic venue. With tens of thousands of signatures on petitions the dance music community voiced their efforts to save Fabric London. In order to raise funds for legal fees, producers such as Audion, Dusky, and Route 94 contributed to a 111-track compilation that was sold as a digital release on Fabric’s website.

Protests of Fabric’s closing came, not from megaphones and picket signs, but it was fought with the very weapon dance music fans thought they were losing, music. Events have been held in efforts to raise funds to support Fabric in its fight to keep its doors open. While Fabric will be operating under a great number of new restrictions, it’s wonderful that generations of nighttime dancers will get to share the floor of Fabric London. Celebrations are being held all over the world featuring the likes of Ellen Allien, Danny Daze, Erol Alkan, Ricardo Villalobos, and so many more. Fabric London’s shown that if a community bands together, music can be the greatest weapon.
