About Me


Liquid funk was born and raised at Swerve. Fabio serves up a dose of premium quality, soul-fuelled drum & bass each and every Wednesday in The End’s lounge.

After the legendary parties at the Velvet Rooms came to an end when the club shut down, Swerve found a new home in The End’s lounge in 2003. Since then, it has remained a groundbreaking leader, held in the absolute highest regard within the scene, and amongst drum & bass enthusiasts around the world.

On the night, an MC-free and attitude-free environment makes for a laidback, social vibe where the drum & bass glitterati congregate to exchange tracks, enjoy a drink and listen to Fabio select the future classics. Meanwhile, a crowd of dedicated clubbers hit the dancefloor and get down to the freshest, funkiest flavours drum & bass has to offer!

Swerve is as much a pull for DJs as it is for punters, one of a very rare breed of club nights where every DJ considers a set there a privilege rather than a chore. From regulars such as Bryan Gee, Grooverider and Bailey, to the likes of DJ Marky, London Elektricity and LTJ Bukem, every DJ worth their salt has stepped in to Fabio’s booth, with The End’s lounge even being occasionally treated to a special ‘Swerve Set’ from such heavy hitters as Andy C, Fresh or Friction.

Come and try The End on a Wednesday, have a drink, have a dance, and get your Swerve on.

Fabio : :

Fabio started off in the scene playing on pirate radio, called "Phase 1". Here, he played a mixture of Soul, Jazz and Rare Groove. After this, Fabio got into acid house as it came along and he then hooked up with Grooverider and together, they would DJ as a team.

They started getting booked for all the big rave parties, like Sunrise, Energy and Biology. After this, Fabio himself did not look back. Fabio has always steered towards the mellow and jazzy side of Drum and Bass and is well known for this style.

Fabio has not done much in the way of producing although that looks set to change in the future with different projects lined up. Fabio does run a label called "Creative Source" and acts as the A&R man for the label which keeps him busy spotting new talent. Fabio also plays with Grooverider on Radio 1 for the "One In The Jungle" show, after Kiss FM failed to keep hold of them.

With this type of exposure, Fabio is sure to remain on the Drum and Bass scene for many a year to comeFabio started off in the scene playing on pirate radio, called "Phase 1". Here, he played a mixture of Soul, Jazz and Rare Groove.
