London's Fabric- Not Everyone is Ruled by the 'F' Word

East London club Fabric will be hosting events with labels including Novamute, Warp & Kompakt next year, though a club spokesman told Skrufff this week, they're becoming increasingly fed up with discussing their success.

'The secret of the club's popularity is closely guarded between us and the KFC fella," press chief Nick Doherty sighed.

"But I can honestly say we don't have a masterplan, which I know is a real disappointment in these brand-conscious times."

Nick was also unconcerned by a recent article in British trade magazine Music Week in which industry figurehead Lynn Cosgrave mused that 'large nightclubs went out of fashion'.

"Large nightclubs very possibly did go out of fashion, but there are still lots of big venues all over the country that are crazy each week, none of which play underground dance music. I don't fancy going to them myself but each to their own, eh- Richie Hawtin is playing on our soundsystem for the first time next week: putting together nights like that is our purpose in life," said Nick.

"Not everyone is ruled by the 'f' word, and Fabric isn't that large anyway. Our biggest room holds 600 people at one time," he added.

Fabric chief Keith Reilly also appeared sanguine about problems afflicting music magazines and the record business.

"Our business is getting people to dance; magazine failures are more relevantly associated with a lack of creative journalism," he said.

Record sales are falling because the industry refused to embrace the future, preferring to resort to exclusionary practices to preserve unnecessary and unwarranted expense accounts for record execs who - without the facade of such trappings - had little else to compensate for their total lack of understanding and vision," he added.

Other characters joining Fabric next year include Ricardo Villalobos and DJ Heather, plus party promoters Bashy and Playhouse.
