Voted second best club in the world in DJ Mag's 2009 poll, Fabric is located in Clerkenwell, East London, in a former meat-packing factory close to the Financial Centre. Fabric presents a broad range of musical genres, featuring electro, house, hip-hop and drum and bass. Rather than world-famous DJs, Fabric tends to book emerging acts and, since 2001, has produced an independent CD series featuring DJs that have played at the club.
