To start our list, it only feels right to start mega.
fabric (stylised with lower-case) was London’s answer to the Berlin megaclub; multiple floors, experimental chill-out zones, and an innovative approach to venue design. Not only boasting sound and sight, the whole club experience of feeling immersed in a sprawling complex of halls and staircases (it doesn’t feel so sprawling when stone-cold sober, mind) is what you’re here for.
Farringdon’s hotspot also has an outrageous pull, bringing in some of the biggest names in dance and electronic music. Almost every big DJ you know has played there. Have a look at its past events to see how comprehensive their listings are.
More than a club, fabric have their own label where they regularly release live mixes from guest artists, as well as offering a membership where you can receive recent fabric vinyl to your door. You even get a snazzy membership card. Another membership offers half-priced tickets, the freedom to queue-jump, and a free plus-one. Now we like that a lot.
To our delight, the Berlin spirit has been kept alive to the modern day, as there no phone recording allowed. Upon entry, bouncers will place a fabric-logo sticker over both of your phone cameras, discouraging photography.
And thank god. A call-back to a time where you could actually be free on a night out, and not have to fear seeing your indiscretions over social media the next morning.
When it comes to sound, experience, and quality of artists, fabric might just be number one.
