Dj Tennis releases fabric presents mix & compilation 20 tracks featuring Djrum, Paurro, Josh Wink and more
February 13, 2026 sees fabric Records unveil the latest chapter in its flagship series with fabric presents DJ Tennis, a 20-track mix and compilation curated by DJ Tennis. The release arrives alongside two originals from Tennis, including the new single “Hello Hello,” out now.
For more than 25 years, the fabric presents series has functioned as a cultural barometer for club music, spotlighting artists capable of translating personal vision into dancefloor architecture. Alumni include The Martinez Brothers, Andrew Weatherall, Surgeon, The Streets, and Confidence Man. With this installment, the focus shifts to Tennis’ singular blend of psychedelia, groove science and rave-rooted experimentation.
“Fabric has always been a place where I shaped my taste, getting lost in the middle of the dancefloor, learning to really listen,” Tennis explains. “This mix reflects how I approach music today, psychedelia, sound design and groove shaped by early rave culture and an experimental, DIY background, beyond genres or formulas. Every track is something I would genuinely play in Room 1, and the cover says the same thing: a brain on a plate, memory, influence and process, exposed.”
The tracklist moves with intent. It opens with Fordell Research Unit’s “Theme From William Basinski,” establishing a reflective tone before pivoting into the intricate textures of Djrum’s “Out of Dust.” From there, Tennis threads through house, electro-leaning psychedelia and peak-time propulsion, with cuts from Vitess, M-High, PAURRO, ATRIP and Danny Daze & .VRIL.
A rework of Josh Wink’s seminal “Higher State of Consciousness” in its M-High edit injects classic rave energy into the mix’s modern framework, while Tennis’ own contributions, “I Wanna Know” with Ashee and “Hello Hello,” anchor the compilation in his current studio language. “Hello Hello” lands as a stripped-back club tool, driven by a warped, muscular bassline and tightly coiled drums engineered for impact in large rooms.
Beyond the booth, Tennis’ biography reads like a cross-section of alternative culture. In the 1990s he tour-managed Black Flag and Minor Threat, later serving as European agent for The White Stripes, Sonic Youth, Björk, and LCD Soundsystem. He went on to manage Tale Of Us before their arena ascent, and built Life and Death into a respected platform for emerging and boundary-pushing electronic artists.
Now performing more than 150 shows per year, Tennis continues to operate across disciplines as a label founder, mentor and curator. Upcoming dates include Skyline Festival in Los Angeles, Caprices Festival in Crans-Montana, a return to fabric in London, DGTL Amsterdam, and Cercle Festival in Paris, underscoring his ongoing presence at the forefront of the global circuit.
With fabric presents DJ Tennis, he delivers a mix that functions less as a snapshot and more as a statement of intent: a carefully assembled body of work that bridges early rave memory, contemporary club functionality and an enduring commitment to taste shaped on the dancefloor itself.
