- The Baron of techno gets dark on the latest installment of the club's mix series.
Dave Clarke has mixed fabric 60, due for release in October.
Clarke, once dubbed "the Baron of techno" by the BBC's John Peel, has long specialized in the darkest and toughest strains of club music, from his breakthrough Red Series 12-inches in the '90s to his DJ sets around world today. fabric 60 shows him running at full tilt. "I wanted to have a gothic and bass heavy start that represented the sonic characteristics that Room 2 is capable of handling," he says. "It's all pretty dark though and I think it represents the edgier side of club music that you only get to hear in clubs that care." Rather than looking back on old favourites, Clarke sticks mostly to records from the past two or three years. Though techno is the order of the day, he also finds a place for one of his other fetishes: electro. "Fabric is one place that can truly appreciate that."
Clarke will headline a launch party at fabric on November 12th, details for which are still forthcoming.
