Frequent collaborators DJ Nobu and Wata Igarashi come together for an anticipated joint release on fabric Originals. This will be the first offering by the fabric imprint for fabric’s 25 Year celebrations. The pair also announce a forthcoming back-to-back set at fabric London on Saturday 2nd March 2024. The split single release features two luminaries of the techno realm with the DJ Nobu track ‘Flares’ and Igarashi’s "泡 (Abuku)” – which translates as ‘bubbles’ or ‘foam’ in Japanese. The productions explore two of the multifaceted sides of the techno genre. Nobu revels in a driving urgency that is not without delicate nuance. Igarashi embraces the more europhoric and psychedelic side of 4-4. Both hit the sweet-spot of club-floor pleasure and headphone delight.
