Fabio Lecture (Melbourne 2006) | Red Bull Music Academy

If you want to know about drum & bass, listen to Mr. Fabio. Having broken through in the late ‘80s playing funk and rare groove on London pirate station Phase One, he was somewhere towards the centre of pretty much any new movement in British electronic music for nearly a decade after. In this lecture at the 2006 Red Bull Music Academy, ‘The Godfather’ talks soul music as a secret identity and formative years.
