Fabio & Grooverider [3 Hours of DNB History] • Bristol

Fabio & Grooverider: The Godfathers of Drum & Bass – join us at Clock Factory Bristol on Saturday 17th January for our first show of 2026. 🔊

For over 30 years, Fabio & Grooverider have stood at the very core of drum & bass. From the pirate airwaves and illegal raves of the late ’80s to their groundbreaking Rage residency in London, they helped shape jungle and D&B into the global force it is today. Their 14-year award-winning BBC Radio 1 show gave early exposure to now-household names like Chase & Status, Wilkinson, Sub Focus, Pendulum, High Contrast, Calibre and many more.

Voted among the Top 25 Greatest DJs of All Time (Mixmag) and winners of DJ Mag’s Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, the pair’s influence is incalculable. Through seminal labels like Prototype and Creative Source, iconic tracks like The Warning, Mysteries of Funk and Midnite, and landmark compilations for Drum & Bass Arena, Fabric and Ministry of Sound, they’ve continually pushed the scene forward.

Even now, Fabio & Grooverider remain unstoppable - selling out orchestral collaborations with The Outlook Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, headlining festivals like Boomtown and We Out Here, and bringing their Return to Rage brand back to their spiritual home at Heaven in London.

This is more than just a DJ set – it’s a 3-hour journey through the roots, the anthems, and the future of drum & bass with two of the most important figures the genre has ever known.
