Fabric's main man has a new mix to go with his extra-underground event series.
fabric resident Craig Richards has mixed The Nothing Special, a mix CD companion to his event series of the same name.
As music director and main resident DJ for the club's Saturday night parties, Richards has a profound influence on what you hear at fabric. For the past few years, he's channeled the more underground side of his taste into The Nothing Special, a series that places him amongst experimental-leaning live acts. Past guests have included Pole, Shackleton and T++, and in each case Richards is tasked with, as he puts it, "setting the scene for each one... Playing a gentle deep warm up for Moritz Von Oswald, or a twitchy electro set before Dopplereffekt, or a disco set before Emperor Machine, all of which I am capable of because of the variety within my residency."
As a mix, The Nothing Special follows the same guideline as the night, focusing on deeper cuts from artists like Arne Weinberg, Melchior Productions and Two Lone Swordsmen. The collection is due out in July. If you're in London, the next edition of The Nothing Special takes place on June 25th, and sees Richards accommodating live sets by 2562and Conforce.
