The Building And Area
fabric is found at 77a Charterhouse Street, London EC1. It occupies the renovated space of the Metropolitan Cold Stores. Smithfield Meat Market stands and operates from a site directly opposite and is the last of Londons great markets. The areas construction took place in Victorian times alongside nearby landmarks Holborn Viaduct and Fleet Valley Bridge. These projects swept away much of the villainous subculture of Victorian London, captured forever by Charles Dickens in Oliver Twist. Post-World War II, whole communities migrated from the area to satellite towns. A vacuum was left, buildings became solely used for commercial purposes and Smithfield lay deserted at weekends. In the fashion of the nearby Barbican Centre (for the study of The Arts), fabric has been acknowledged as a central component to the revitalisation of the area, which can now offer itself as one of Londons best instances of 24-hour culture.
The Club
fabric opened in October 1999 after years of planning. It has three spaces, two of which feature stages for live acts. The rooms house Europes first bass-loaded bodysonic dancefloor, 5 soundsystems and 3 bars over two levels and a total area of 25,000 square feet.

SUNDAYS
WET YOURSELF
Starting on Sunday, 8 February, Wetyourself will be making the move to our very own Room One at fabric, as part of our new Sunday night project. Bringing an eclectic mix of bass heavy electro, minimal and maximal techno, disco and house music, fabric on Sundays will soon be brimming with fashion muses, instigators and colourful "in the know" club kids, all mixing comfortably with forward-thinking music aficionados. Kicking off with a riotous and rather fitting appearance from Miss Kittin, on 8 February Wetyourself and fabric unleash a thrilling partnership, brimming with possibilities… but it does come with a warning: Monday mornings will never be the same.
The secret behind WYS’ vibrant success lies in its strong alliance: Cormac, Peter Pixzel and Jacob Husley are each as powerful on their own as they are synergistically…
“Following on from her now legendary set last year, it is perfect that we welcome back Miss Kittin to set us sail on our new disco journey. Wetyourself will be keeping its special intimate Sunday night vibe and will be bringing you super star high calibre DJs each and every week…we are very excited to be working with the fabric crew and have a simply stellar 2009 lineup planned, combining some of the more magical headliners of WYS’ past, alongside some incredible new talent. Come and experience fabric as you never have before in its new WYS late night, underground guise.” – Wetyourself
