After Fabio & Grooverider were residents at the first jungle/drum and bass club night, Rage at Heaven, Fabio channelled the kinetic soul of the music to a new night, Speed, alongside comrade LTJ Bukem and in conjunction with Groove Connection, Swerve, where in the late 90s his ‘Liquid Funk’ vibe successfully ignited the unique musicality of drum & bass as typified by releases on his Creative Source label.
