Fusecast #222 - Francesco Bottalico

Resurgiremos Encíclica y Abstractamente 

Enjoying quality (Techno) Grooves and Vibes 🎶

Fuse Records began its journey aiming to build bridges beyond boundaries in electronic music. Over its 14 years of existence, Fuse has strengthened true exchanges, not only in different music styles but also exchanges intended to boast the musical and cultural education of its audience.

Believing that music and the surrounding environment make the perfect match, there is also the concern to provide the best locations around Portugal, in different shapes, schedules and venues. The chosen approach is to discover the traditional roots and experiences where gardens, boats, clubs, beaches, and festivals become unique and each space becomes special.

It's a record company featuring a strong collective of artists and great experience in the organization and planning of its events. Fuse, with its well-drawn horizons, counts on a vast number of participations and collaborations of big artists, such as dj's, producers and their respective record labels.

One of the great collective’s intents is to show the best of what happens in this "country planted by the sea," and also mix the best of what is made outside and beyond international borders. Enjoying the best of both worlds in electronic music becomes an attainable utopia.

"We want to continue to be the symbol for quality, up-to-dateness and fusion," that's the motto fulfilled with great pride and creativity.

Werkhoven grew up in a musical family. His father was a big-time music collector and his uncle played in a funk band. Being inspired by this he embarked on his own musical journey, he started going to house and techno parties. After going to these parties he knew exactly where he would continue his journey in the world of music, it was a search to create his own sound and that sound would set him apart from the rest.
Werkhoven started producing and dj`ing, focusing on creating his own sound. He got his first professional gigs in a club formerly known as Subsonic, in Groningen. This is where he really got the chance to master his own sound meet like-minded people with the same passion for music.
About a year ago he started and event organization with two of his close friends in Groningen, they named it Plotsklaps Events. With this organization he has been able to share the stage with names like Mulder, Sandeep, Hollt, Man With No Shadow, and De Sluwe Vos. Next to that he was invited to spread his groovy sound in other cities like Amsterdam, Leeuwarden and Zwolle.
