Fact insists that it will continue to "showcase the present and future electronic music and art" going forward, reassuring listeners that "almost every mix" the publication has hosted will remain on Mixcloud and SoundCloud as an archive.
“As Fact has always maintained, there has been no more exciting time in the history of music than right now, you only have to listen,” the statement continues.
Fact’s mix series was launched in 2008 with Count & Sinden’s ‘Mix 01’ before spanning a huge host of global electronic music artists including the likes of Slowdive, Autechre, Ellen Allien, Bored Lord, RP Boo with recent episodes from Toumba, Jossy Mitsu and more.
