Sully

25 years-deep at the forefront of soundsystem culture, via their legendary Friday night dances and DJ mix series, the iconic FABRICLIVE welcomes a new chapter, with their inaugural artist release, by Sully.

A perfect representation of the labels renewed vision, and a key landmark in the continuum, ‘Model Collapse sonically mirrors both FABRICLIVEs rich history and new vision, reaffirming their position as an essential platform for cutting-edge bass music.

Continuing an impeccable run of bar-raising releases by Sully, with ‘Model Collapse the Norwich don yet again demonstrates why hes at the top of his game, with two Lazer-focussed jungle/d&b weapons. Influenced by his formative years on the free party scene, the intensely vivid title track ‘Model Collapse merges caustic acid tekno with techstep depth, sharp gritty beats and classic low-end wobble.
An exercise in tone, pitch and harmonics, the warped synths, processed voices and masterful drumwork of ‘The Wash highlight an artist deep in the zone, manipulating sounds with a maverick midas touch.

The EP comes as a bespoke vinyl edition, featuring a striking picture disc and etched design, mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis and manufactured by The Vinyl Factory, everything is UK made. The artwork comes courtesy of John Karborn, a London-based artist, on whom Sully comments, “we have a few projects under our belt now and Ive always enjoyed the process. Hes a dynamo of ideas and Im never quite sure where theyll lead, which is 99% of the fun with this stuff. Conversely, FABRICLIVE is a new partnership for me but its clear we are on the same page in terms of trying something a bit different and being a bit ambitious with the presentation.
