Fabric

Fabric is a nightclub in Farringdon, London, England. Founded in 1999, it was closed down by authorities in 2016. Fabric began a campaign to save the club and the UK's dance music culture on 16 September 2016. Fabric was later allowed to be reopened under strict laws in 2017. Located on Charterhouse Street opposite Smithfield Market, the club was voted World Number 1 Club in DJ Magazine's "Top 100 Clubs Poll" in 2007 and 2008 and ranked World Number 2 in 2009, 2010 and 2017.

Fabric has three separate rooms with independent sound systems; two of the rooms feature stages for live acts. A feature of the club is its vibrating floor in Room One: known as a "bodysonic" dancefloor, sections of the floor are attached to 400 bass transducers emitting bass frequencies of the music being played.

Links To Peel
Peel was invited first to perform at Fabric on 1st February 2002 and continued performing there until October 2003. In an interview with Nick Doherty of Jockey Slut, published in 2002, he described his experience at the club:

"'I was amazed, and very, very scared, and it was just fantastic. It was much better than the gigs I used to do in the sixties and seventies or eighties...So Fabric was amazing, fantastic. It was as great a night as I’ve had in my life, and people will say ‘oh, he would say that wouldn’t he’, but it actually was. The fact that people were singing ‘Teenage Kicks’ eight minutes after I’d finished was unforgettable.'"

After his successful appearances at Fabric, the record label of the same name released an album called FabricLive. 07, consisting of tracks compiled by Peel in a mix.
