Fabric Turns Stateside with Fabric 21 - DJ Heather
The musical backdrop of the late 80's Chicago club scene, open to all and celebrated provided DJ Heather's musical upbringing. A mix of hip hop, house and disco with many other styles thrown in as well combined of course with her innate love for music have given rise to one of Chicago's best house DJs. Too long in the shadow of the great house music forefathers hailing from Frankie Knuckles Way now is the time for Heather to step forward and bask in the bright limelight her razor sharp mixing skills will inevitably bring her, and when listening to her new fabric mix, you can't help but think it's going to come soon.
A perfect mix of some very cool house music, nothing too flashy, no screaming vocals, just a cool groove that draws you with it's addictive beats. Like the club the focus is on quality music.
DJ Heather on fabric: "I'm into soundsystems and that's what I like about it. The DJ isn't on display really, you have to seek that person out, it works in reverse. People are there to have a good time and you have to be able to read and understand the room. That's what it is for me: fundamentals. It's about sound, not flash."
Fabric 21: DJ Heather is due out 24/03/05 UK/Europe 19/04/05 USA/R.O.W
