“Romantic Schizophrenic”
We’re thrilled to announce that Das Spezial’s electrifying track “Romantic Schizophrenic” has been handpicked by acclaimed international DJ and techno pioneer, Laurent Garnier, for the upcoming Fabric Presents compilation, set to release on 29th November 2024.
This selection is both an honour and an achievement for the Das SPEZIAL team. Fabric, the iconic London nightclub and record label, has long been considered a global institution in electronic music. Since opening its doors in 1999, Fabric has become synonymous with cutting-edge sound, hosting the world’s finest DJs and shaping the trajectory of dance music culture. Their compilations are celebrated as definitive time capsules of the underground music scene, showcasing the most forward-thinking artists.
Laurent Garnier, a cornerstone of the techno movement, brings decades of influence and unparalleled taste to this compilation:
'All I've ever wanted to do was share the music I loved with people and make them dance. I never thought I was going to make a career out of it. especially not one that would last over 35 years. This might well be my last mix CD, and if it is. I'm very proud of it.' - Laurent Garnier, Fabric London press
For Das Spezial, being featured alongside Garnier’s visionary curation means joining the ranks of electronic music’s elite. Known for its haunting melodies and intricate rhythms, "Romantic Schizophrenic" embodies the kind of innovation and emotional depth that Fabric stands for. This achievement is a proud moment for Das Spezial and a testament to the power of unique, genre-defying soundscapes.
The release drops exclusively in physical form only on 29th November, as deluxe vinyl collectable and CD sets, and it'll also feature a new original 4-track EP from Laurent.

25th anniversary
At last, Laurent Garnier joins our ‘fabric presents’ mix series. A year in the making, it’s a bespoke collaboration that’s guaranteed to be memorable, as he’s brought into the fold to celebrate our 25th anniversary.
fabric: ‘After 20-plus years of choosing artists to record mixes for our original fabric and FABRICLIVE series, up to the current ‘fabric presents’, we drew up a shortlist of acts we all admire who had not yet recorded a mix for us. This person’s career had to match the club's lifespan and the musical generational changes we've all been through to join us in our 25 year series.'
fabric presents Laurent Garnier will not only pay homage to our widely adored Farringdon venue, but also showcase his own mastery of genres and the diversity. One for collectors, this year it’ll drop physical-only on 29th November, both as a uniquely-packaged deluxe vinyl and on CD. Furthermore, with Garnier eager to pay reverence to the club, the release will also feature an exclusive four-track EP.
