Fabio

Fabio began DJing during the mid-eighties spinning funk, soul and acid house at after hours clubs and on pirate radio stations. His broadcasting career began on Brixton-based Phaze 1 where he met Grooverider - a like-minded DJ playing fresh, underground sounds. Together they honed their skills and embraced new music, eventually cementing their association with the seminal drum 'n' bass night, Rage. In the early 90s, Fabio left Phaze for the newly-legal Kiss FM and in 1998 moved on to Radio 1, where Fabio and Grooverider's '1 In The Jungle' show gives the drum 'n' bass scene an international platform. Ever prepared to represent acts at the margins, Fabio seeks out new converts for an already vibrant scene. He's a regular at Progression Sessions and his own night, Speed, created in '94 and now known as Swerve. Through his Creative Source imprint Fabio has consistently championed unknown talent including Primary Motive (aka. Danny C) and Calibre. Fabio is credited with popularizing the sub-genre known as Liquid funk as well as coining the name. Fabio is widely considered as the godfather of drum and bass music for which he was one of the early pioneers of in the late 80s and early 90s. Fabio hasn't produced many records but one of his more recent works was a tune called "No Joke" in which he produced with Photek.
