Fabric Records

Fabric Records is the label associated with Fabric, the London nightclub that opened in 1999 in Farringdon on Charterhouse Street, opposite Smithfield Market. The label’s identity is closely tied to the club’s role in electronic music culture and to the kind of DJ-led programming that a major venue sustains, linking recorded releases to the musical world presented in its rooms.

Fabric’s profile as a club has been widely recognised. In DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 Clubs Poll,” Fabric was voted World Number 1 Club in 2007 and 2008, and ranked World Number 2 in 2009, 2010 and 2017. That international standing provides the context for the label’s reach and for its emphasis on dancefloor-focused electronic music connected to a long-running London institution.

Artists associated with Fabric Records reflect a broad spectrum of contemporary club music. Names such as Laurent Garnier and Floorplan point to established strains of techno and house rooted in DJ culture, while Daniel Avery and Red Axes suggest a darker, more experimental edge within electronic production. The presence of acts including Pola & Bryson and Dot Major indicates that the label’s orbit extends into adjacent electronic styles beyond a single subgenre, consistent with a club environment that hosts varied line-ups.

Fabric Records operates under the same umbrella as the Fabric club. Its public-facing home is the Fabric London website, aligning the label’s releases with the venue’s wider activity and brand. The label’s catalogue, as represented by the artists linked to it, presents Fabric as a London-based platform for electronic music shaped by nightlife, DJ sets, and the club’s long-standing position in the city’s dance music ecosystem.
