fabric, the iconic hub of electronic music culture, proudly announces its latest addition to the fabric mix series: FABRICLIVE. presents Pola & Bryson. This mix will be a dynamic exploration of contemporary drum & bass, genre-fluid, rich in emotion, and precise in sound design. It navigates between soulful reflection and controlled chaos, painting a vivid contrast of transformation and tension.

Showcasing a unique blend of melancholy, emotion, and euphoria, drawing elegantly and purposefully on the immense power of electronic music, British duo Pola & Bryson have cemented themselves as one of the most talented production outfits in the genre today.

Throughout the mix, one can hear liquid textures laden with depth and warmth, tracks that breathe with glistening pads, smooth, flowing drums, and emotionally resonant melodies. These moments evoke nocturnal introspection and spatial clarity, connecting with the more human, melodic side of drum & bass.

But the mix does not linger in one mood for too long. Periodically, it delves into darker, more technical territories, where basslines twist, rhythms fracture and strain, and the atmosphere becomes taut and futuristic. Here, the emotional yields to the mechanical, propelling energy through razor-sharp precision and relentless force.

Experimental soundscapes weave throughout the mix, blurring genre boundaries and adding moments of unpredictability. Sometimes ambient and abstract, at others intensely rhythmic, the mix balances structure with freedom, constantly moving forward without losing emotional weight.

For 25 years, fabric has been a pillar of the UK drum and bass movement, a place where the genre has not only thrived but evolved. More than just a club, fabric has been a vital incubator for underground sounds, consistently championing drum and bass alongside a broad spectrum of electronic music. From pioneers to cutting-edge innovators, its legendary room two has become hallowed ground for DJs and ravers alike. As a bastion of innovation and inclusivity, fabric has shaped the landscape of UK nightlife, influencing global trends while staying true to its roots.

In addition to the mix album, fabric and Pola & Bryson present the new original single Worlds Apart, an emotional vocal anthem featuring the incredible vocals of Emily Makis. The track balances Emily’s soulful lyricism with Pola & Bryson’s signature crisp liquid drums and deep, hypnotic basslines. The three had previously teamed up on the track Complete alongside Monrroe and followed up with the certified hit Phoneline, deemed Radio 1’s D&B Anthem of 2023. With a track record of creating pure magic in the studio when working together, Worlds Apart undoubtedly delivers on those high expectations.
