The news that the mighty Death In Vegas was on the verge of a triumphant return in the form of fifth studio album Trans Love Energies prompted a most uncharacteristic hunting down of the press officer by our own James Holden, so desperate was he to add present-perfect and future-continuous dancefloor anthem Your Loft My Acid (out this week!) to his Traktor files:

Your Loft by Death In Vegas

The rest of the album, not to mention the cover and title, proved to be equally up our (and Mr Luke Abbott‘s) respective streets, as you will be able to hear for yourselves from next Monday 26th September:

Knocking up a quick list of his top Death In Vegas moments for the Fabric blog was the least James could do in return, although choosing favourites from the bulging Death In Vegas back catalogue is certainly harder than it sounds. Dyed-in-the-wool Border Commies should remember Death In Vegas’ Anita Berber from its pop-up appearance on Mr Holden’s At The Controls mix CD of a few years back, spearheading the migration of a sizeable chunk of the Satan’s Circus album into his digital DJ virtual record box, where it would eventually be joined by generous helpings of ‘Trans Love Energies’ seven years on.

The Fabric connection in all of this hinges around said album’s live launch in a special Thursday night edition of Fabric Live later this week (September 22nd), where Death In Vegas-mainman Richard Fearless will be present and correct on both live and DJ duties, joined by none other than Andrew Weatherall and Stopmakingme in his residential capacity. Tickets are naturally on sale now in individual and Fabric-archive-CD-bundle form, starting from £13.00.
