30 years of Fuse means 30 years of road paving. 

In over a quarter century, Fuse has stood the test of time by rooting itself in ageless music and employing pioneering artists - large or small, international or local - to command the decks of Belgium’s longest running dance floor. A celebration of this legacy and the renewed imprint is in order, coming in the form of a 30 track compilation of techno’s best and brightest from around the world. One track for one year, this collection of recordings highlights the status quo of enduring club music, beginning with a nod to the past: a re-release of Jeff Mills iconic ‘Step to Enchantment’ from 1993. This glance to the past quickly shoots us forward into the current state of techno with legendary artists like Planetary Assault Systems, DVS1, Steffi, Rødhåd, Donato Dozzy, DJ Nobu and many others who headlined the club in recent years. Cementing itself as a respected escapist institution, Fuse also calls on its growing local scene to prove why Brussels continues to remain a reference in the scene even outside of its own borders. 

An ode to the past and a hint to the future, Fuse shares this milestone with its original guests from 1994 all the way to its fresh party goers of the past years as a promise to keep its dance floor focused on quality music and timeless moments.

His relentless innovation has cemented his place as pioneer of the Swedish techno scene. With over thirty years in music, his reputation as a studio scientist is well-documented. Throughout his career, he has adopted numerous pseudonyms and consistently pushed the boundaries of techno.🚀

BCCO Podcast 380 is very special one. Today we are honoured to have electronic music pioneer Steve Rachmad aka STERAC with us with a two-hour set that was recorded live for promoter 01366 at the White Hotel in Manchester, UK.

Steve has used a range of aliases over his career reflecting his diverse outputs covering dub, disco and house. But STERAC’s focus has always been on the no-nonsense, darker, and deeper side of techno and this set is no exception to that.

We hope and expect you will love this set just as much as we did.

DifferentSound invites Ken Ishii (Tokyo)

The DifferentSound Podcast #298 welcomes Ken Ishii!  
Ken Ishii: A Pioneer of Japanese Techno
Ken Ishii debuted on the renowned Belgian techno label R&S Records in 1993, quickly rising to Number One on the UK's NME magazine techno chart. His first album, "JELLY TONES" (1995), was critically acclaimed, and the video for the single "EXTRA" won MTV's "Dance Video of the Year" in 1996. Internationally regarded as a top pioneer of Japanese techno, Ken produced the official theme song for the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano. In 2000, he was featured on the cover of Newsweek, symbolizing Japan's dynamic new culture. His work includes producing the soundtrack for the Japanese hit film "Whiteout" (2000) and contributing exclusive tracks to the cult-favorite video game Rez. Ken has performed at iconic venues worldwide and won the Best Techno DJ award at the 2004 Dance Music Awards in Ibiza. He regularly headlines major dance festivals, including Monegros (Spain) and WIRE (Japan). As a prolific producer, he founded his label, 70 Drums, in 2002 and released several albums, including "FUTURE IN LIGHT" (2002) and "SUNRISER" (2006). In 2012, Ken launched the project Ken Ishii Presents Metropolitan Harmonic Formulas and released "MUSIC FOR DAYDREAMS." His recent highlights include performing at the Nintendo SWITCH Presentation World Premiere in 2017 and releasing the album "MÖBIUS STRIP" in 2019. In 2020, he produced the official theme track for PAC-MAN's 40th anniversary. Ken continues to expand his creative reach, composing soundtracks for Netflix's anime series "Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune" (2023) and the VR game "C-Smash VRS" (2023-2024). He has also launched a noh & techno collaboration performance series, TECHNOH LAB., with noh actor Manjiro Tatsumi. Beyond music, Ken co-brews his own craft beer, “KIKK-IPA,” with RISE & WIN Brewing Co., winning silver prizes at the International Beer Cup in 2022 and 2023. Currently, he is more enthusiastic about making music than ever, releasing new EPs, collaborating with various artists, and touring globally. He is working on a collaboration album with a jazz musician, set for release in late 2024.

Ever-evolving 2 mixers & 6 CDJs synergy from two prodigies of timeless contemporary techno, recorded live at Ratherlost in Lofi, Amsterdam on 01.01.2024.

Nørbak VS Quelza at Ratherlost NYD 2024

From London’s inner suburbs comes this next guest, a through and through veteran of UK techno whose touch has left a lasting mark on the world around him. Steve Bicknell’s early days were spent in the intoxicating worlds of dub, reggae, acid, DIY warehouse parties and pirate radio, an auspicious mix of references that would inspire him to make music of his own. After a string of residencies at the UK’s then most influential parties, he launched his own series with creative collaborator Sheree Rashit: LOST. These legendary gatherings brought together names like Plaid, Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins, Robert Leiner, Basic Channel, and a wider array of future techno hegemons. This was swiftly succeeded with the duo’s launch of imprint Cosmic Records, whose triumph went on to spawn another three successors: LOST (early provider of Bicknell’s dancefloor sounds), Clubtracks (for Chicago-leaning fare) and ID(entity) (a channel for the work of well established music-makers who wanted to release under a secret alias). A nine-year pause in productions came to a halt in the mid 2010s with Steve’s most recent label, 6dimensions, an exploration in sound and the whole spectrum of human emotion. Finally, 2017 saw Steve team up with Luke Slater and David Sumner under the LSD sobriquet, a force for the creation of ‘lysergic machine music’, heavily danceable stuff (just ask ADE, Dekmantel, Awakenings). With a story as full and enduring as Steve’s there’s much to pull from, and only experience in the flesh could attest to the depth and scope of his musical evolution, but it’s clear that the voice he has honed has only become louder and more refined. It’s a techno that’s fully embodied, a blistering percussive barrage that invokes something profoundly human and fundamental. Bassiani Podcast 217 is just a taste of what Steve has to offer, a window onto a world of sound he’s meticulously crafted for over three decades: masterfully layered and piercing sounds that shimmer and relentlessly rise in lockstep with a formidable 4/4 beat.

BINÄR PODCAST 032 // KAISER

Dirty Epic is pleased to welcome back @temudo for its 96th episode of Amplify Series.

- “This set was recorded in León last weekend, in a lovely night by Solid Velvet. The main reason why I chose this particular mix is not because it has a lot of unreleased or exclusive music, but mostly because it captures my current flow, and it was a really fun session :) Still, you can also find some ‘mystery’ beats from myself and friends. Hope you enjoy!”

One of the most active players shaping contemporary Techno, Temudo has developed his own vocabulary creating a unique trademark sound. 
His interpretation of the genre is made through a clinical approach, blending the soul of the genre with a modern and unorthodox methodology.
With the rare ability to absorb and express different moods keeping the same signature sound, he manages to have the seal of a wide spectrum of labels like Klockworks, Blueprint, Soma or Warm Up - whose work speaks for itself. 
As a DJ the sharp vision remains, delivering a fast paced eclectic journey with music from different time frames mixed in an coherent and elegant way. 
He’s one of the minds behind Hayes and runs his own Mastering Studio: Tema Mastering.

In 2023 Temudo starts a journey into Live performance: his approach has been much less linear than one would expect as it is more of a spontaneous act than a structured, pre-programmed set. This results in each set being completely different, a whole lot of variety and him squeezing Ableton to the limit of sonic possibilities.

Amplify Series 096 - Temudo (Live at Solid Velvet)

We are happy to have @theownlife hosting the 96th episode of Syntop Audio.

As a DJ he is influenced by different styles in electronica, which clearly shows at the time when he propounds his own sound from the DJ booth. He always establishes a bridge in between the past – the purity of the first works of pioneer techno producers, and the future – visible in the advanced character of the vanguardist productions of different artists these days.

Dold LIVE @ Fuse, Brussels (24-06-08)

A true pioneer of the techno scene, Italian DJ and producer Gaetano Parisio needs no introduction but we'll just underline that since his first steps in the then-burgenoning electronic world back in 1992, his influence on the sound hasn't flinched one bit. Responsible for countless seminal releases on the likes of Primate, Zenit, Mosaic, his own structures Conform, ART and Southsoul and a myriad more, Gaetano has been pushing techno in new directions with ultimate drive and devotion to duty. Clocking in with a two-hour trip into his boundary-pushing headspace, the Neapolitan maestro treats us to a wild ride of trampling uptempo funk, sci-fi-indebted flights and further alien-engineered heaters. The forward-looking power of rave in its purest expression.

Reclaim Your City 

Reclaim Your City 598 | Gaetano Parisio

@norbakmusic, a DJ/producer and a pivotal member of the Hayes Collective, takes the helm in this week's podcast. The Portuguese artist makes use of a thorough knowledge of classic techno and fuses it with modern sound design, the result of which is a signature sound that has seen worldwide support from tier-1 artists and mammoth labels such as Soma Records, Warm Up Recordings and Mord. 

His continued evolution and forward thinking posture can be felt deeply through his sets and releases, where he seamlessly combines a dancefloor attitude with the experimentalism of IDM. The next 60-minutes is a showcase of his textural story telling through hypnotic sequences and rolling basslines, featuring upcoming tracks on Hayes along with recent favorites from friends and fellow producers.

"November 2022 was the first time I'd ever played at De School and I remember the energy was extremely high as Claudio PRC was building the room into a frenzy, so I was pretty nervous to take over and do the closing. Luckily things felt very comfortable from the first beat and time just flew by - what a night. I was also very happy to play longer than planned!"
