fabric Celebrates 25 Years with a New Book Chronicling Its Legendary History

London's iconic club fabric is marking its 25th anniversary with the release of a comprehensive 300-page book, aptly titled fabric

Published by White Rabbit and authored by Joe Muggs, the book offers a deep dive into the club's rich history, featuring over 100 testimonies from DJs, staff members, and other key figures who have been closely tied to the club’s legacy. In addition to these personal insights, the book is filled with rare photography and the club’s renowned artwork, bringing its story to life visually. It also includes an introduction by Bill Brewster and a foreword by Annie Mac.

Joe Muggs, reflecting on the process of writing the book, shared: “You know how people say, 'If these walls could speak...' Well, after months of interviews, research and writing, I genuinely did feel like those walls deep under Farringdon were sharing their stories of thousands of nights and millions of dancing bodies passing through. fabric is a living entity with a personality all of its own, a constantly evolving work of art in its own right, a channel for collective consciousness, and getting the chance to immerse so deeply in a quarter of a century of its life was just glorious.”

The book will be available in three distinct editions. The standard edition hardback, priced at £50, will be released on December 3, limited to 4,000 copies. On December 17, two special editions will follow. The record store special edition, limited to 1,000 copies and priced at £99, includes exclusive cover art, prints of classic fabric ephemera, and a copy of the rare compilation mix CD ‘fabric 001’ by Craig Richards.

For the ultimate collectors, the Super Deluxe White Rabbit Edition will be available for £349, limited to just 500 copies. This edition features off-white foil-blocked cover artwork, rare prints, and a host of other exclusive items, including the sold-out ‘fabric 100’ release (featuring Burial and Kode9), a reproduction of fabric’s 25th birthday poster, and a silver pendant designed by Tom McEwan, originally gifted to a select 99 people at the club’s opening in 1999.

Cameron Leslie, fabric’s Co-Founder and Director, reflected on the milestone, saying: "Creating this book has been a remarkable journey and a rewarding experience. Seeing that, even after 25 years, our contribution is still impactful in the London scene is humbling and is certainly something that motivates us to keep pushing boundaries as well as supporting the community that surrounds us and has given us so much. I hope this book will be well received and will serve as a testament to the legacy of fabric in this truly wonderful world of electronic music.”

Pre-orders for all editions of the book are now available through fabric and White Rabbit’s online stores here.
