Illum Sphere to mix FabricLive 78

Illum Sphere is set to join the ranks of elite DJs considered worthy enough to record an official FABRICLIVE mix.

As the Manchester artist now holds a quarterly residency in fabric’s famous Room 2, it seems like the perfect time for him to be called up to the series. FABRICLIVE 78 sees him explore a wide array of electronic music, from the “lo-fi experimentalism” of Tapes’ ‘Dungeness’ to the driven synth arpeggios of ‘H.S.T.A.’ by Das Ding. “I decided to stick to more electronic based music, from new wave, dub, techno, acid, etc.”, explains Illum Sphere. “In terms of range I think the oldest thing is probably late 70s and the newest thing came out this year.” This decade and genre spanning blend also features work from the likes of Legowelt, Kassem Mosse, Actress, Charles Manier and Soul Syndicate.

FABRICLIVE 78 is due for release November 17th via fabric Records on CD and digital formats, pre-order yours here. Illum Sphere will host a launch party at fabric on Friday 7th November, alongside JTC, Krystal Klear, Eclair Fifi, Jonny Dub and Jon K, plus DT favourite Chunky will provide vocal support. Tickets available here.
