Fabio & Grooverider

Fabio & Grooverider are pioneering figures in electronic music, known for their substantial contributions to the development and global popularization of drum and bass. After establishing themselves as pioneering figures on London’s Faze 1 pirate radio station in the mid-1980s, Fabio & Grooverider quickly became instrumental in the development and global popularization of drum and bass. Their dynamic DJ partnership began by igniting illegal raves and warehouse parties across the UK, notably at Mendoza’s in Brixton and the seminal ‘Rage’ at Heaven nightclub in 1991. These early sets were crucial in shaping the nascent acid house movement and subsequently forging the jungle and drum and bass genres.

Their profound and lasting impact on electronic music has garnered significant industry recognition; a Mixmag poll voted them among the Top 25 DJs of All Time, and they were honored with the Outstanding Contribution to Music award at DJ Mag’s Best of British awards in December 2015. More recently, their highly successful collaboration with the Outlook Orchestra has captivated audiences, including a series of sold-out dates at the prestigious Royal Festival Hall. Beyond their musical endeavors, Fabio & Grooverider expanded into new creative territories in 2022, making their acting debut on BBC 1’s comedy series King Gary. With their ongoing monthly show on Rinse FM and continued high-profile performances, Fabio & Grooverider remain vital and innovative forces in the global electronic music landscape, consistently demonstrating their pioneering spirit and capacity to engage new audiences across multiple platforms.
