Steffi is contributing the next instalment of fabric’s revered mix series, and the Panorama Bar resident is bringing a release packed full of exclusive material.
Among the tracklist of specially commissioned material is a new collaboration with Shed under the moniker STFSHD called ‘1.5’, which is now streaming on fabric’s SoundCloud.
