fabric announce a book chronicling the 25 years of its history
London nightclub fabric have announced an illustrated book, fabric, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the club written by Joe Muggs with an introduction by Annie Mac and foreword by Bill Brewster.
Featuring stories about the club’s birth, struggles and successes, as well as rare photography and iconic artwork, and an oral history by Joe Muggs featuring over one hundred testimonies from the legendary DJs associated with fabric, this is a celebration of the colossal impact fabric has had on club culture over the last quarter of a century. Above all, it’s a story about the misfits and visionaries who made it happen, the curators and resident DJs who have kept it true to its roots, and the experiences of clubbers on the dancefloor.
Author Joe Muggs said: "You know how people say, "If these walls could speak..."? Well, after months of interviews, research and writing, I genuinely did feel like those walls deep under Farringdon were sharing their stories of thousands of nights and millions of dancing bodies passing through. fabric is a living entity with a personality all of its own, a constantly evolving work of art in its own right, a channel for collective consciousness, and getting the chance to immerse so deeply in quarter of a century of its life was just glorious."
fabric will be published by White Rabbit on 3 December in hardback, with two special editions to follow on 17 December, all available to pre-order now.
