The Next Big Thing

Alright, alright I know promoters say a lot of things about the guests they bring down but this time it's for real! For the progressive crew and music lovers across all genres, you're going to love this...

GWILL MORRIS (UK) aka MAIN ELEMENT

Fri 20 Dec Fabric will be throwing a special Xmas party featuring one of the hottest talents on the UK scene, Gwill Morris better known as Main Element. Signed to Silver Planet Recordings with releases on Nick Warren's GU and Lucien Foort's Singularity compilations, he is undeniably one of the most impressive producers to appear in years along with partner-in-crime James Holden.

As a DJ, his sets are consistently well programmed and exhibit an ability to connect with the crowd. His varied tastes and tight mixing have seen him provide everything from deep house to progressive to trance and techno in clubs in destinations the world over, including New York, Melbourne, Sydney, Berlin, Turkey and Greece and for the first time, Adelaide. In London, he’s played at Bedrock, Ministry of Sound, and Elements, as well as holding residencies at the Silver Planet night in Brixton and Slide in Oxford.

Touted by many (including Mixmag) as 'the next big thing' and Sasha's heir apparent, don't miss your chance to see Gwill Morris as he takes up the Fabric challenge Dec 20 at Skylab.

As it's also a special Xmas edition, look out for presents galore including giveaways of Fabric Sounds Vol 3 mixed by Andee.

Tickets $12+bf available now from Sanity Dance Arena and 618 Records.

Check out the Fabric website for more information.

goatboy Punter	The "This is the highest I've ever been" sessions, no less. TFB: I might just make an appearance on Vol 4 Look out for an interview with Gwill Morris courtesy of ITM's lovely Lotus in a forthcoming issue of dB. Check out Gwill's website for bio, tracklistings, discography and tour information.

Beekayz ITM Moderator	If you let Andee do No.4 you couldn't incorporate another of his classic quotes: Fabric Sounds Volume 4 - The "I haven't been so fucked since last Volume" Sessions Now overhere we have little Johnny and Miss Sue, smokin' on a joint, this is not the thing to do, i think that we have to take pictures of these two, camera's ready prepare the flash

goatboy Punter	Check out interview with Gwill in current issue of dB. To paraphrase: "I usually end up falling off the stage at some stage, and forget to take my records home." What a star

I met Gwill on Saturday night and he's really excited about playing at Fabric (especially after all the good things I said about it! ). I hope I didn't hype it up too much...you guys better make it live up to expectations

I saw James Holden last week and he played a fantastic set. However, I have heard reports that Gwill Morris is an even better DJ and if that is true you guys have a lot to look forward to.

And if anybody gets too excited and faint you're in safe hands as Gwill is a Dr and when he's not practising his DJing he's practicing medicine

Now overhere we have little Johnny and Miss Sue,
smokin' on a joint, this is not the thing to do,

primevibes: It's coming!

Will definitely make sure I bring it along for you. Mixed by one of Melbourne's hidden treasures Tony Vid. Sorry it's taken so long, I've been too busying bagging other genres of underground dance music and their promoters while professing my love for the scene.

Back on the subject check out Gwill feature here.

Rival Louie Nu Skool	I've been a big fan of Gwill's production work for a while now, he has a unique sound which could best be described as beautiful and melodic. I can't wait to see him!

LightningChyld Old School	I had a great time! I was in and out of the place all night, as it was a tad hot, but seeing everyone there was great. Subway Rider, Whytee and Walker_Txs_Ranger (I'm not sure who the other person was, whether he was an ITMer or not)...Who eventually won the soccer game? I missed the end!

I have to disagree with Syk Syd (not that I know anything about the finer points of mixing) but Gwill Morris was fuckin amazing - I would go as far as saying I enjoyed his set more than Sasha's recently.

My first real introduction to a Progressive nite (can't wait now for the next one ) Mal, Gwill and Nick T all played great sets, with the tunes just getting more and more hypnotic the quality selection of tracks was excellent (not that I could name any of them )

Skylab was hotter than hell! Everyone was battling for the position in front of the air con vents, just to try and keep from passing out. But the dancefloor was pumping all nite - it was impossible not to dance as the rhythmns just kept building and building luring you into the groove.

Another huge ITM turn out, got to meet lots of new avatars whytee, lawsa, goatboy, ghetto minx and more. All in all I had a top nite finished off with a few hours at Rise (which also had its fair share of proggy tunes last nite).

Oh god not another genre of music to get into - gettin more expensive all the time I can now see what all the fuss is about Beekayz

When we touch each other,
In a state of ecstacy.
