Rising drum & bass duo Pola & Bryson launch FABRICLIVE presents, a brand-new mix and compilation series paying homage to the iconic FABRICLIVE series, which ran from 2001 to 2018 and became a defining platform for bass music culture in the UK.
The compilation FABRICLIVE presents Pola & Bryson opens with “Worlds Apart” featuring Emily Makis, the duo’s exclusive new single and their highly anticipated follow-up to 2023’s “Phoneline.” Additional new music comes from Etherwood & Hugh Hardie, Xeonz, Charli Brix, and Molecular, alongside a jam-packed mix showcasing heavyweight drum & bass names like Camo & Krooked, Mefjus, and Breakage, as well as rising talents IYAMAH, Monrroe, and Thread.
Available digitally, as a double vinyl LP, and digipack CD, the release offers a seamless journey through Pola & Bryson’s musical world, balancing euphoric, vocal-led rollers with heavyweight club weapons. The vinyl edition, curated for DJs, fans, and collectors, features eight carefully selected tracks for home or club use, while the extended CD and digital versions present 29 additional cuts, all blended by the duo themselves.
“We’ve always been inspired by how many flavours and offshoots drum & bass has evolved into,” Pola & Bryson explain. “Every time we mix, we naturally gravitate toward that variety, blending contrasting styles in a way that still feels cohesive. This mix reflects some of the sounds we’re especially drawn to, just one take among many in a genre that never stops evolving. It was a real joy to put together. Big love to the fabric crew for the opportunity. It means a lot.”
FABRICLIVE presents continues the legacy of fabric’s legendary FABRICLIVE series, which helped define UK club culture with iconic mixes from pioneers like Andy C, Marcus Intalex, LTJ Bukem, Goldie, and Calibre. Known for capturing the raw energy of Friday nights at fabric, the series ran for nearly two decades, becoming essential listening for drum & bass fans worldwide. This edition marks both a return of one of UK club culture’s most iconic mix series and a defining moment in Pola & Bryson’s rise to the forefront of modern drum & bass.
For 25 years, fabric in London has stood as a cornerstone of the UK’s drum & bass movement, a space where the genre has not only thrived but evolved. Beyond being a club, fabric has been a vital incubator for underground sounds, consistently championing drum & bass alongside a broad spectrum of electronic music. Its legendary room two has become hallowed ground for DJs and ravers alike, influencing global trends while remaining fiercely true to its roots.
FABRICLIVE presents Pola & Bryson lands on 15th August via fabric Records. Pre-order the LP ahead of release to experience the full tracklist and a new chapter in UK bass culture.
