Fabric's Latest Star DJ Doesn't Quit His Day Job

Michael Mayer, the Cologne based DJ who's just mixed the latest compilation CD for London club group Fabric, is determined to hang onto his Monday-Friday regular job, he revealed this week (on the press release accompanying the CD).

"I need a straight job, an office job to keep me right, to ensure that I don't lose my head" said Michael.

"I like doing normal things during the week and then being wild at weekends."

The 32 year old German techno-electro DJ admittedly has a music business day job at studio complex Kompakt, though his refusal to embrace the DJ lifestyle fully could signal a new attitude to the role.

"For me it's the perfect balance," he added.

"If I wasn't in a club every weekend and listening to all the records we distribute through the week then I'm sure I'd have a problem and wonder why I'm doing all of this."

Fabric 13- Michael Mayer comes out in November; Michael in the first mainland European DJ to do a mix for the fabric CD series.
