RICHARD FEARLESS (Death in Vegas)
BILL PATRICK + DENNIS RODGERS
Cafe Deville, 103 3rd Avenue
10pm onwards
Richard Fearless was born in Africa, to an engineer and an artist. He began collecting music at eight or nine; at first he loved film soundtracks and 60s stuff, then his older cousin gave him some Stooges and Velvet Underground. By his early teens � and having won a scholarship to nurture his own artistic talent - he�d discovered Chicago house and techno via ex-NME staffer Barbara Ellen, his sister�s flatmate, and unearthed a whole new set of possibilities. At eighteen he started working in record shops and put on his own night, Job Club. He invited his favourite DJs to play - Derrick May, Andrew Weatherall, Dave Angel, The Chemical Brothers and more. There were no Technics; records were taken on and off the decks on an upright home system. The legendary Heavenly Social followed, though between times he made his first record, Opium Shuffle, and signed to a major. 1997�s Dead Elvis LP and it�s follow-up, 2002�s Scorpio Rising (featuring collaborations with Iggy Pop, Dot Allison, Paul Weller, Liam Gallagher and more) established Death in Vegas as a true dance/rock crossover act.
�When I was nineteen I did a remix. Someone heard it and asked me to make a record and I called it Death in Vegas, which was a film a friend of mine made about Elvis� last five minutes, just before he overdosed. Off the back of that single I got offered a deal by BMG and, like an idiot, signed it. I got released last year after thirteen years.� � Richard Fearless, Death in Vegas
This atmospheric dancefloor mix is the first Death in Vegas project since the aborted Don�t Believe the Truth sessions with Oasis (�We didn�t have the songs at the time but there was some good stuff that would be great for a box set or something down the line� � Noel Gallagher). It blends the coolest, cutting edge minimal artists with classic Detroit techno and some heavy Death in Vegas productions, most of which are exclusive edits. �FABRICLIVE 23� captures the Death in Vegas attitude to DJing and production, ridiculing both the �avin� it large� and �breakin� the boundaries� clich�s that split anything to do with electronica. Using quick mixes to build his moods and grooves, Richard Fearless delivers an effortless, elegant 4/4 selection.
�Our music�s always been very visually inspired. It�s very cinematic and the obvious route to go down was soundtracks. We did Lost in Translation and a few other films. The next project we�re working on is really inspiring. I moved to New York to get back into film; I�ve been directing shorts and videos for about four years. I�m at college there and teaching photography. It�s great, I love it. We�ve got our own label Drone, which our last album came out on, and we�ve got some great acts we want to sign. But it�s a big Catch 22. we had to put a lot of money in to get the label going and it all has got to go back in. So it�s baked beans for another year!� � Richard Fearless, Death in Vegas
