Fabric to Release Exclusive Bass Music Compilation

• Words: Thomas Rees

In the past two years, a certain nebulous genre has multiplied like mushrooms in the UK. Somewhere between dubstep, grime, and garage, much of the music coming from the likes of Rustie, Caspa, Untold, and others has simply been referred to as "bass" music, but now, London's Fabric has come up with a cheeky new name for the bass-driven, dancefloor-scorching sounds: elevator music. On volume one of the synonymous compilation, Fabric has gathered some of the biggest talents in this eclectic scene to create exclusive pieces, culminating in a huge party at the infamous club on January 8 featuring the artists mentioned above along with Martyn, Joy Orbison, Hudson Mohawke, Vista, Mosca, and a scad of cohorts. And with advanced purchase of the compilation, fans get free entry to the event! More details here, and a full tracklisting after the jump.
