DJ Tennis fabric Presents Mix has officially landed, marking a new chapter for the Life and Death founder while also introducing his latest single, “I Wanna Know,” alongside Ash.
A Personal Reflection Through Sound
For DJ Tennis, this mix is more than a compilation — it’s a reflection of a lifetime immersed in underground culture.
“fabric has always been a place where I shaped my taste—getting lost in the middle of the dancefloor, learning to really listen. This mix reflects how I approach music today: psychedelia, sound design, and groove shaped by early rave culture and an experimental, DIY background, beyond genres or formulas.”

Every track on the mix is something he would genuinely play in Room 1 at fabric, reinforcing the authenticity behind the selection.
