FABRIC16birthday

In an age of gentrification where anti-club sentiments run deep among many, Fabric London, arguably one of the world’s finest nightspots, is getting ready to celebrate its 16th birthday with a massive 31-hour marathon blowout. A club that has served as the home for some of the finest DJs in the world as well as a breeding ground for a generation of newcomers since its inception, their much deserved victory lap will commence over a weekend of nonstop festivities taking place October 16-18.

Ricardo Villalobos, Ben Sims, Dan Ghenacia, DJ Qu, Dyed Soundorom, Felix Dickinson, Jamie Jones, Marcel Dettmann, Matrixxman, Paranoid London (Live), Prosumer, Shonky, Steffi and Virginia are some of the talent who will join residents Craig Richards and Terry Francis for the shindig.

Looking Back on 20 Years of Wiggle

Twenty or so years ago house music diehards Terry Francis, “Evil” Eddie Richards and Nathan Coles launched Wiggle at a disused garage in Camden. In 2015 they’re still making dance floors move and groove, steadfastly remaining true to their musical integrity by presenting quality parties in London and beyond in the face. What’s more is that they’ve done it in the face of too many fleeting musical fads and trends to remember.

Over the years a legion of likeminded jocks have graced their DJ booth — Layo & Bushwaka, Pure Science, Maetrik, Audiofly, Stacey Pullen and Abe Duque, to name a few — and that open-mindedness has helped earned them a diverse legion of fans.

In November the triumvirate celebrated Wiggle’s 20th anniversary by issuing a killer compilation, Wiggle For 20 Years, featuring exclusive tracks from notables including Just Be, Berkson & What, D’Julz and Jay Tripwire as well as selections from recent Wiggle guests Alex Arnout, Saytek and Dachshund. Incidentally, Wiggle’s long-standing, same-named imprint continues moving along nicely, releasing Bravofox’s Spyderman EP and Lo’s Rotating Planet EP in December.

After presenting a series of parties marking Wiggle’s major milestone, the threesome continue marching to their own beat. We asked Wiggle resident Nathan Cole to briefly look back on the past 20 years and ahead to the future.
