London clubbing institution Fabric is reportedly facing closure after police called for a review of its license.
According to the Islington Gazette - ITV and the Evening Standard are also running with the story – police made the move after an MDMA-related death in September. Officers claim that eight people have collapsed from ecstasy use in the last three years at Fabric, four of whom later died, and they are “seriously consider[ing] revoking the club’s license.
In a report, Ch Supt Steve Deehan said: “Immaturity of lifestyle of the patrons leads
to them becoming actively involved in the taking of illegal drugs and this could account for the disproportionate and wholly unacceptable number of deaths and near death incidents at the venue.”
Deehan then criticised the club for not informing police about September’s death, an 18-year old girl, claiming that it could “seriously frustrate a criminal investigation”.
The licensing committee are reviewing Fabric’s license tonight, the club will not comment on the story until then.
Fabric opened in 1999, and is one of the world’s most famous and well-respected clubs. It operates two in-house record labels, Fabric – which has traditionally focused on the Fabric and Fabric.live mix-CD series, and the more artist-driven Houndstooth.

another step in the direction of a sterile gentrified london of cereal cafes, development villages, gastro pubs, flash mobs, pulled pork and foxtons.
what the fuck is happening to this city. its like all the fun and disorder is being sucked out and replaced by buildings that look like this and food served on roof slates

do you not see this as a problem though? when the biggest clubs in london can be shut down so easily what's to stop the smaller ones? already a few closed down recently.

it represents a fucking huge part of london culture.
fairly standard lineups is a massive understatement
next weekend skepta, jme, preditah, joker, deadboy, logan sama, mssingo, moxie, dj ez, mungos hifi, ragga twins, uncle dugs, ben klock, prosumer are all playing
the weekend after
p money, newham generals, plastician, riko dan, novelist, slimzee, spyro, dark0, pinch, wen, youngsta citizen, jackmaster, scuba, seth troxler, dj hype, Mistajam, Matt Jam Lamont, Wookie ,Hatcha are all playing
these are the best and most popular djs in the world in garage, grime, dubstep, dnb, techno. theyre not just fairly standard line ups lol.
ive only been twice and ive lived in london 21 years. its still one of the reasons that London is able to attract big name djs and have a club music scene. that is rivalled by very few cities.
