See the Technics1210 website the Technics 1210 turntable heritage and a 30 year timeline of dance music - including interviews and testimonials for some of the worlds top DJ's, including Fabio. Born Fitzroy Heslop on Sep 27, 1965 in London, England Fabio is the pioneering break beat DJ who, along with Grooverider, brought drum'n'bass into the British club scene. A DJ since the early '80s rare-groove and hip-hop periods, Fabio grew up in Brixton, London.

Though he went to college for a while and worked as an insurance agent, his burgeoning mixing career soon took centre stage.A soul fan and early friend of fellow DJs Colin Dale and Tim Westwood, Fabio first made his name on the pirate station Phase 1 and got hooked on house music by 1986. With Grooverider, Fabio hosted several popular after-hours house events during the late '80s. During the early '90s, he formed two of the seminal club-nights for drum'n'bass, Rage and Speed.

 

At the former, he and Grooverider provided the early dark side to hardcore techno while the latter saw Fabio and L.T.J Bukem charting the course of an increasingly experimental-minded scene. Though Fabio concentrated on mixing while Grooverider added production credits to his résumé, Fabio and his Creative Source label proved crucial to the early development of producers like Alex Reece, Wax Doctor and Hidden Agenda.
