EARLYBIRDS FLYING OUT THE DOOR!!

BIO

Tradition is as much part of life as the calendar is and for us these two very important pennies drop simultaneously in April with Adventures In The Beetroot Field, our annual peacock like display of ascension rituals. Over the past 6 years AITBF has marked Easter Thursday on a grand scale, presenting an ‘indoor festival’ that’s populated by the latest and greatest bands and DJs across all three rooms here at fabric. Forging an unrivalled reputation for unearthing those acts that are destined for much greater things it’s the archetypal warm up for the summer festivals with AITBF’s hit rate recounting previous successes including Hot Chip, Florence and The Machine, Friendly Fires, Brodinski and Mount Kimbie.

This year’s installment will be no exception; the lineup spans modern takes on the classic house and disco templates, providing ecstatic dream pop alongside industrially tinged electronic, micro chopped hip hop instrumentals and grunged-up indie rock. It’ll also be taking a diversion into contemporary R&B thanks to So Bones – a tri-city (London, New York and Bristol) celebration of everything that is great about this overly produced, sexed-up, chart-bothering music – who are hosting Room Three with sets from Romy xx, Night Slug’s Girl Unit, the slowed up alias of a key member of the Numbers crew, DJ T€ARJ£RK£R and the collective’s main protagonist, Tri Angle made up of the people behind the on-point label of the same name.

The players on the 2011 AITBF lineup have been responsible for some of the biggest dancefloor anthems of the last 12 months. Infecting nightspots the world over with their own sound signatures producers like Tensnake, Riton and Mehdi (appearing together as Carte Blanche) have impacted on listeners with their own manner of disco and electro respectively. Artists like Gatekeeper put the discomfort and experimental dread into their Merok label backed techno whilst acts like the Young Turks signed CREEP, transplant a little of that same darkened texture into songs that are a little more hummable; something that Camden based rock quartet, Tribes, also excel in when writing their melody lines. Having sparked scrub fires across the nation’s airwaves and prompting acres of breathless praise across independent press and the blogosphere, all the artists on the lineup are on the tip of the proverbial tongue in the first quarter of 2011; and as ever, we invite you to take fabric and AITBF by the hand as we guide you through the soundtrack of the future.

MORE INFO ON SO BONES (Room 3 Hosts)

Devised by Robin Carolan (Tri Angle Records owner, and member of the 20 Jazz Funk Greats blog), SO BONES began life as a blog (now sadly defunct), and later mutated into a sporadic clubnight, which has now been transformed into a regular event taking place in London, Bristol, and New York.

For anyone who thinks R&B and hip hop is a guilty pleasure, we're probably not going to be on the same level.
