fabric resident and founder Craig Richards brought his signature magic to the event. His set was a deep and immersive sonic journey, showing why he is such a respected figure in the electronic scene. With his ability to read the audience and select the perfect tracks, Richards took us all into a trance-like state. His presence and charisma in the booth added an extra layer of authenticity and passion to the night, reminding us why the London venue is a temple of electronic music.
Another highlight of the night was the back-to-back between Ricardo Villalobos and Raresh. The chemistry between these two DJ maestros was evident, and the way they fused their musical cultures was simply memorable bringing high expectations and public euphoria through their set.
The event began at 6 PM and lasted till 6 AM the next day. During those 12 hours, the combination of such a significant place, a carefully curated line-up, and a passionate audience made every moment to remember.
