London - Fabric - 30/01/10

If you were to walk into any of the three rooms inside Fabric this Saturday night you would be forgiven for thinking you had somehow been teleported to either Berlin, New York or Detroit.

Breaking the beard stroke mold of rooms 1 & 2, DFA Disco starlets Holy Ghost, Jacques Renault & Justin Miller will be hosting room 3 with what New York does best. Close your eyes whilst entering room 2 and it won’t be hard imagine yourself inside Berghain or Panoramabar with residents Ben Klock & Steffi amist support from Fabric stable mate Terry Francis.

Leaving room 1 in the capable hands of Jamie Jones (DJ Mag's 2009 'Best of British' producer), Cesar Merveille, Wolf + Lamb's Lee Curtiss (live) and motor citys legendary Carl Craig.

A night for the music purist, beardo, snob or enthusiast. We can all get along.

Die Faser

"I prefer warm, melancholic or endlessness feelings with an authentic character and deepness."

Take one listen to Cio D'or's Die Faser and you will know exactly what this sound and music obsessive is talking about.

A true listening experience from start to finish. Cio D'or will guide you through landscapes of warm ambient bliss littered with organic drones and experimental samples. Cio doesnt stray away from her take on big room education with tracks like 'brokat' and 'Wildseide' to put a wry grin on any furrowed brow listener.

Plastikman Resurrection

Richie Hawtin has announced the return of Plastikman in 2010. Coachella being the first and only date to be annouced so far. One can only assume Sonar will be added to the list of 2010 appearances.

Let the rumour mill begin.
