Cassy – fabric 71

The newest edition in the fabric compilation series comes courtesy of one of the world’s finest DJs, Catherine Britton (aka Cassy), and does more than simply live up to the series’ esteemed predecessors. Her prowess as a track selector is the very thing which arguably sets her apart from the masses and ultimately shapes the sound of fabric 71, showcasing what the young artist loves about electronic music.

As Britton states, “The project has come at a perfect time for me in terms
of being able to communicate where I am artistically. I have aimed to
get back to the roots of what this should be about for every DJ –
namely playing records for the love of playing records – and not
because of anything else.”

In order for Britton’s fans to understand these “roots,” it is essential that one also understands her musical journey.  Growing up in Vienna, Britton was immersed in a culture that embraced music and the arts as a way of life. From an early age, she developed a deep appreciation for Classical music and Jazz – music that served as her gateway to electronic music and, eventually, to DJing. It’s these early influences that allow Britton to create such lush musical landscapes, as demonstrated so supremely on fabric 71.

If you’re as much of a globetrotter as Britton is, you can catch her
at one of her four residencies including Panorama Bar in Berlin, Trouw in Amsterdam, Rex Club in Paris, and now Output in Brooklyn, NYC.
