Fuse resident Downside delivers the ninth release on Fuse Imprint with Traces Of Spring, a record that reflects both clean articulation and careful tension building. Across four tracks, he explores a balance of intensity and restraint, depicting a narrative that mirrors his evolving role within the club.

Opening with Until It Fades, the A1 sets a hypnotic tone through patient layering and ambient space, hinting at drama while maintaining subtlety. With Blackout Protocol, the atmosphere turns into focus through an imposing, clear low-end that takes control, driving a darker framework designed for moments of deepened urgency. On the flip, Revolt moves with raw immediacy, its rhythm pushing forward with detail and weight, yet strangely uplifting. Closing with the title track, Traces Of Spring offers a suspended atmosphere, delicate in rhythm and melody, it's a reflection of the fragile balance between soft synth tension hanging by a thread and a focused, monumental pace.

With this release, Downside contributes a coherent and articulate statement to the Fuse catalogue, one that captures both the physicality of the dancefloor and the subtleties that extend beyond it.

FUSE09 • Downside - Traces Of Spring

MNEME

The Rituals series rises again — a fresh strike carved deep into black wax. RITUAL12 summons an international assembly of techno insurgents from the OMEN roster, each delivering their own sonic rite. Across two sides, the intent is absolute: raw, unfiltered power pulled from the shadows and unleashed on the dancefloor.

[SIDE A]
SWARM INTELLIGENCE – Inexorable
Berlin’s Swarm Intelligence ignites the record with precision-tooled percussion and fractured basslines. Polyrhythmic tension winds tighter with every measure, industrial grit locking into a cybernetic march toward total hypnosis.

B.A.R.K – Shikijitsu
A bone-rattling invocation of distorted low-end and ceremonial drums. B.A.R.K drives forward like ancient machinery grinding to life, a Japanese primal energy sharpened to a deadly edge.

AXKAN & DUELLIST – Resilience
Mexico meets Scotland for a brutalist assault: hammering kicks, serrated synth textures, and walls of analogue saturation. No safe passage here — only forward momentum into the heart of chaos.

[SIDE B]
EAS – Honored One
From Los Angeles, EAS delivers a tense, ritualistic construction where a subterranean EBM bassline pulses through metallic drones. Hypnotic, uneasy, and charged with controlled dissonance.

HATELOVE & OGMAH – Hanged Bodies
A dark ceremonial groove heavy with ritual percussion and spectral synth chants. The layers rise to a fever pitch, blurring the line between transcendence and collapse.

CRYSTAL GEOMETRY + AXKAN – Kratom
France’s Crystal Geometry joins AXKAN for a militaristic strike of modular chaos and pummeling drums. EBM-infused basslines drive beneath razor-sharp synth fire, rallying the midnight faithful to the front lines.

RITUAL12 is not a compilation — it’s a convocation. Forged in analogue heat, drenched in distortion, and aimed directly at the heart of the floor, this record demands full surrender. Step in. There is no turning back.

All tracks written and produced by the featured artists.

A2 - B.A.R.K - Shikijitsu

New Split EP by label core artists "Chimachine" and "Numbers And Parameters" delivering four solid dance floor focused cuts. Opening fire on the A Side we have two groovy and infectious uptempo tracks. "Rollin" and "Rotación De Mentes" takes inspiration from Detroit's golden 909 Techno era melted with some Acid House and Hard-Industrial influences. B Side reveals two dark and hypnotic Rave bangers. A revisited version of "Shooting Modes" pushing things to a harder side and a pitch black peak-time gem called "Destroy" closes this reference. 

Tracklist:

A1 Chimachine - Rollin
A2 Chimachine - Rotación de mentes
B1 Numbers And Parameters - Shooting modes (Revisited)
