Exploding into the world of techno back in 2009 with a remix of Riz MC’s ‘Don’t Sleep’ on the Crosstown Rebels label, Toronto’s Jonny White and Kenny Glasgow aka Art Department went on to release their 2011 debut LP The Drawing Board, spawning a tidal wave of hype.
With the Art Department name now ran by Jonny White, the transition into this new chapter has manifested into the new fabric 82 mix compilation, scheduled to land June 22. Tying the knots of the past and present, featured tracks include Matthew Herbert’s ‘Deeper’, Rick Wade’s ‘Wired’ and the Art Department tune ‘Cruel Intentions’ featuring Seth Troxler.
Regarding the fabric brand, Art Department wrote:
“fabric – the club and the mix series – are still going strong all these years later because they deliver a real, creativity-driven product, night after night, year after year and because people support them the way that they support us, the artists. They’ve given us a unique platform to work with for so many years, and that’s what makes the opportunity to record this mix so special.”
Art Department will also celebrate the fabric 82 record launch playing fabric’s Room 1 on June 13th. Also scheduled to appear on the bill will be Kenny Glasgow, Scott Grooves and Nitin. Visit http://www.fabriclondon.com/club/listing/1094 for further information.
