LONDON. Iconic Fabric nightclub closing: “The sense of disbelief among DJs and clubbers that its licence has been revoked might have something to do with the fact that Fabric was a nightclub that thrived against the odds. It was a 2,500-capacity venue – with three areas, a state-of-the-art soundsystem and dancefloors equipped with “tactile transducers” that caused them to vibrate in time to the music – that opened in 1999, just before the clubbing bubble of the 1990s burst.”
