Imagine having to bounce back from closing your business TWICE as a founder?

Cameron Leslie, Co-founder of Fabric, can relate.

Since it’s inception in 1999, Fabric has been home to not only some of the world’s best DJs but also upcoming ones who needed a platform to show their skills, soon becoming a rite of passage for all DJs in Europe.

From hosting top talents such as Terry Francis, Craig Richards, Seth Troxler and Skream and Benga to facing the closure because of COVID and licensing issues, it’s been a hell of a journey for Cameron and team.
