Resident mix #3
@route8

If there’s anyone in Hungary in house music who doesn’t really need an introduction it's Szilvio. He has been churning out tunes and mixes from his bedroom for the past five years to international acclaim. He had been gracing the catalogues of international labels for years by the time he released his debut album last year. All that experience shows when he takes over the DJ booth. It’s no mistake that he’s been invited to record mixes for some serious hitters in the industry such as Melbourne Deepcast, Butter Sessions, c-, The Lot Radio or a Public Possession

Domestically he’s carrying the torch for our scene with his label @this-is-our-time and his event series @itsokaytodance. We are filled with pride that he accepted our invitation to become one of our residents at mhmm parties from here on out.

● What type of house music are you most excited by nowadays? 
I’ve started leaning slightly towards progressive house. I’m in love with hypnotic synth melodies that are surrounded by tribal house percussion, and vocal chops. I’m especially drawn to tracks from the late 90s, early 2000s. It’s quite exciting to dig through that period, as it is quite a challenge to find gems from that time. Luckily some new producers have appeared who are keeping the prog sound alive: @djlifee, @Andersonmusik, @adampits .

● What are the most memorable gig settings you’ve been in? 
200-300 capacity open air parties outside of Budapest in nature, with friends and a cold Club Mate have always been near to my heart. Last summer, when we had a couple months to get together between virus waves, there were a couple of great parties with this type of setting: mhmm x Santsat in the Arboretum by Budakeszi, Pavilon in the hills behind Szentendre, and parties at the Nomad Bar in the Danube bend.

● A couple thoughts regarding the mix?
This recording is meant to accompany dance moves during sunrise. It contains tracks from our new This Is Our Time release, some trancy pieces, and some Route 8 nuggets. 

● Three tracks?
Round Two - New Day (Club Vocal Mix)
The Other People Place - Let Me Be Me
Echomen - Orient
----------------------------------------------
Szilvió hálószobájából több mint 5 éve repülnek ki a megjelenések és mixek. Már tavalyi nagylemeze előtt is neves nemzetközi kiadók katalógusát erősítette, és a világ minden táján táncoltatott már. Ez a tömérdek tapasztalat meg is mutatkozik amikor a pultban áll. Nem véletlen az sem, hogy eddigi mixei többek között a Melbourne Deepcast, Butter Session, C-, The Lot Radio vagy a Public Possession-nél landoltak. 

Itthon a kiadójával (This Is Our Time) és az It’s Okay To Dance szervezői zászló alatt tesz hozzá az szcénához. Büszkeséggel tölt el minket, hogy elfogadta a felkérésünket, hogy mostantól ő is rezidense legyen az mhmm buliknak.

● A house zene melyik vonala kelti fel a leginkább az érdeklődésedet mostanában?
Kicsit elkezdtem menni a progresszív house irányába. Nagyon élem a hipnotikus szinti dallamokat amiket megfűszereznek tribal house dobokkal, és szaggatott vokálokkal. Főleg a 90-es évek végi, 2000-es évek eleji trekkek körében mozgok, amik között elég nehéz megtalálni a gyöngyszemeket. Szerencsére idén több új előadó is felbukkant ebben körben (DJ Life, Anderson, Adam Pits) akik zenéjükkel tovább viszik a prog szellemét.

● Az eddigi fellépéseid közül milyen környezet volt a legmaradandóbb?
Mindig is közel álltak a szívemhez a 200-300 fős Budapesten kívüli open air bulik, a természet lágy ölén, barátokkal és hideg club matéval. Tavaly az első covid hullám után, egész szép volt a felhozatal ezen a téren (Budakeszi Arborétum mhmm x Santsat, Pavilon, Nomád Bár) amikben remélem idén is lesz részünk.

● Pár gondolat a mixről? 
Napfelkeltés táncmozdulatokhoz ajánlom ezt a mixet, amiben szerepel új This Is Our Time kiadványunk mellett egy két trance és Route 8 finomság is.

● Három kedvenc?
Round Two - New Day (Club Vocal Mix)
The Other People Place - Let Me Be Me
Echomen - Orient

Blasha & Allatt [All Night Long] | Meat Free, Salford, MCR | 07 SEP 2024

We had the pleasure of taking you from the night into sunrise through many sub-genres in our record collection. It felt so good having the freedom to craft the set exactly how we wanted on a setup that had been perfectly tweaked by Lyra Audio + crew over the course of 2 days.   

We spent around 6 months planning this event. Everything from the lighting (@seanclarke) to the sound, personally applying for a TEN to use the space (that’s another story altogether) and how the event would run.
 
When you have all the these other variables running alongside an event it can be difficult to lock into the set at your own party but this time everything worked out and we’re really excited to share the memory of this special night. 

Thanks to everyone that made it down and helped in anyway, it’ll always stay with us, this one <3

The 10 year celebration continues with a hybrid live recorded set from German dab hand Vril. Much of his work, like the metaphysical and culturally seminal substance from which he took the name, is heavy on duality, hard and gentle, vibrating with machinelike power and shot through with a raw and often tender emotion. It’s a calculation that has yielded some of the most unforgettable sounds of recent times, 2018’s heavy-hitting Anima Mundi or last year’s Animist have lost none of their soul-stirring resonance, and his purist techno reaches far beyond his published work. Live and in flow state, he carries just as strong a charge, a frothing, fulgurant techno that invokes awe and measures in colossal proportions. Leave aside collabs with Rødhåd and Sebastian Mullaert for Circle of Live, though the magic’s there too. It’s an arcane and ghostly sound that burrows into the soul and leaves its mark, and in his scores of fans and 51 toured countries, it has. For Bassiani Podcast 237 the haunting power of his work finds form in 92 minutes of visceral techno that rolls from crystalline form to brooding storm. The sound of a new world dawning just beyond our current horizon.

REC33 w/ Mama Snake

Last year, on November 30th, Fuse welcomed Denmark's Mama Snake to our control room in light of her Amniote Editions night.  With an untamed aura spreading through the space, the dark hours were marked by hypnotic, slightly mental, and utterly intense temperaments.

Snapping between writhing acid lines, crisp tribal rhythms, and trance-laced techno, her selections struck a perfect balance between the meditative and the manic. The floor was hers: fluid, fierce, and full of intent. A reminder that mastery doesn’t always shout; it listens, reacts, and dares to draw outside the lines when the need knocks.

@fadimohem is right at the heart of contemporary techno. He brings his own twist on the classic sound - deep, rhythmic and atmospheric. He's a Berghain resident whose first contact with the genre came at the hallowed club, and since then, he has blazed his own trail on the most influential labels in the scene, including his own Mohem imprint. This year, he plays twice at Dekmantel Festival, once as part of WSNWG Live and once on the Radar stage.

Ahead of that, he has put together an exclusive one-hour live set comprised only of unreleased music. It's a masterclass in control that embodies just what you get from Fadi in the club: deep techno planted firmly on the floor but always going somewhere. As dubbed out low ends, glitchy textures and more tripped out melodies come and go, the tension ramps up while both body and mind stay locked.

Multisexual Mix #27 Blasha & Allatt

Waves of pulsing, layered techno from the revered Mala Junta resident.

If the electronic music industry is caught in the crosshairs of a battle over what makes for true techno, then D.Dan is one of the underground's great modern emissaries.

A figurehead from the new guard of DJs to arise in the '20s, the Berlin-based artist and Mala Junta resident is an ambassador for a sound that is strongly anchored in the classic roots of techno. His productions, like his mixes, are revved-up takes on the hypnotic wormholes that defined dance floors last decade, but with a fresh (and high BPM) millennial twist. 

Originally from Seattle, D.Dan became enamoured with the spectral stylings of psych rock and shoegaze in adolescence. It's not difficult to see how the cosmic tapestry of bands like Cocteau Twins became a blueprint for the entrancing music he's gone on to make as an adult. His releases on Mutant Future and summerpup are latticeworks of loops and layered percussion, custom-tooled for lost hours on the dance floor and drawn-out mixes behind the decks. 

This approach directly extends into his DJ practice, where he pairs song selections from contemporaries that mirror his own reduced, controlled approach to techno. RA.994 is a Grade A display of contemporary four-to-the-floor from flagbearers like Roll Dann and Marcal.

And like D.Dan's standalone records, his RA Podcast finds room for sweetness—the intermittent peal of an open clap, the steady ripening of a chord—while ultimately emphasising the beauty of function and form over flair.
