I think I've inadvertently created a new regular feature- FABRIC WATCH. I think it's important that we keep an eye out on what's happening at EC1, not that we didn't beforehand....

Anyway, it's the moment we've been waiting for, fabric's birthday weekend line-up has been announced. Although the celebration for fabric's 11th year will unlikely be as monumental as their 10th, a date which yielded the very first ON & ON....& ON, it will certainly give it a run for it's money. The party commences on the Friday, with Fabriclive's dubstep and d 'n' b sessions, but the main attraction for us is as always the Saturday which will not cease for 30 hours, taking the 'night' into the afterhours of Monday morning.

The line-up does not disappoint. Despite the nay-sayers, we are blessed with Ricardo Villalobos commanding most likely all the rooms at various times throughout the event, highly exciting live sets from Âme and dOP, and sets from among others, Damian Lazarus, Ryan Crosson, Floating Points, Levon Vincent and Trus'Me. Lee Burridge will most likely team up with Craig Richards for some legendary TYRANT sessions too.

All in all it's going to be quite an event. Pretty much everyone is going at some point it seems, me and Chris will of course be right on the front-line for the best moments but in the meantime, here's a little taster of one of EDM's classics which I fully expect to hear...
