Last weekend, London’s iconic fabric transformed into a sonic temple as Innervisions celebrated two decades of shaping the global electronic landscape. The revered label, co-founded by Dixon and Âme, hosted a 24-hour “Continuum” session that honored its deep, emotive, and meticulously curated sound.
A Journey Through Sound
The line-up read like a who’s-who of the label’s past and present: Âme (live and DJ), Dixon, HAAi, Bambounou, Hardt Antoine, and more. The programming captured everything Innervisions stands for — depth, progression, and emotional storytelling through sound.
Across three rooms, fabric’s architecture became a vessel for sonic evolution: Room 1 hosted the heavyweight moments, Room 2 offered experimental edges, and Room 3 delivered intimate, hypnotic grooves. It wasn’t just a night — it was a pilgrimage through the label’s DNA.
A Defining Moment: Trikk & Dixon’s “TRIXON” World Premiere
One of the standout moments came deep into the marathon when Trikk and Dixon unveiled their long-awaited “TRIXON”, performed live for the first time. The set — a slow-burning blend of melodic techno and Afro-percussive tension — became an instant highlight of the night. The crowd, already lost in the hypnotic flow, erupted as the bassline unfolded — a moment of collective awe that embodied the essence of Innervisions: innovation with soul.
Fabric’s Endurance Test
Known for its dark intimacy and flawless sound system, fabric was the perfect host. From Saturday night into Sunday evening, the energy oscillated between meditative calm and explosive release. Lighting was minimal — flashes of white strobes and hazy reds cutting through the fog, amplifying the rawness of the experience.
Despite its 24-hour duration, the production remained thoughtful. Re-entry was allowed, with chill zones, coffee corners, and hydration bars — turning the marathon into a sustainable, communal experience rather than a physical challenge.
The Crowd & The Spirit
The crowd mixed veterans who’ve followed Innervisions since the mid-2000s with newcomers discovering its emotional depth for the first time. There was a shared understanding in the air — this wasn’t about viral clips or social media highlights (especially under Fabric’s no-photo policy) but about presence. Hands were raised not for cameras, but for connection.
As Dixon took over in the early morning hours, his selections blended nostalgia with forward motion — revisiting classic Innervisions moments while venturing into new, cinematic territories. It felt like a conversation between past and future.
Final Word
Twenty years on, Innervisions remains proof that emotion and patience still outlast the hype. Its 24-hour odyssey at fabric wasn’t just a celebration — it was a reminder that the future of electronic music still needs heart.
