Fabric Podcast
Summary: The fabric podcasts are sessions of words and music presented and compiled by a wide selection of musical luminaries; people who have dedicated their lives to creating and expressing the music we love to admire. This roster includes some artists who perform at our club and some who perhaps have never performed in any club, anywhere. Some are mentors, some are underrated champions of genres lost by time and trends, but they are all purveyors of good music, whatever that may be. We ask each host to simply play music that they love, that has inspired them regardless of genre and to explain to listeners why they've selected the pieces.

The second part of Kieran Hebden’s fabric podcast finds him indulging as much of his deep experimentalism as much as his current ear for great music. Kicking off with Joy Orbison’s remix of his own ‘Love Cry’ Hebden careers through Victoria A Jazz and James Harper and on into James Holden and MJ Cole, never ceasing his impeccable selection.
In the first in our two part Four Tet podcast, Kieran Hebden takes a flick through his phenomenally stacked record collection to unearth gems from Jo R Lewis and Hyldon, aligning them with tracks by the criminally overlooked Crazy Bald Heads and STL. Also present are tracks from Burial and Miles Davis, two notable influences.
