Fabio began DJ-ing 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 Grooveriders "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. FabricLive 10 takes a trip through the drum n bass scene of 2003; multi-faced and party-based. Tough, twisted, and innovative, Fabio rages through the straight up nu-skool of Calibre, Total Science and Social Security, takes in a masterclass from Special Forces and revels in J Majiks warm textures. Special Forces returns to drum n bass with the brooding, Robert Owens-fronted "Miracle", while Social Security offer the classic intensity of "Take Away". Dancefloor favorite "3 A.M" crashes Bebel Gilbertos "So Nice" adding summer spirit by showcasing Marky & XRSs Brazilian drum n bass flavas. FabricLive 10 hears a major drum n bass talent in room-rocking mood.
