After a strong first release on Fuse Imprint with ‘The Wall’, resident Phara returns to his home base for a mirage of introspective tracks. Furthering his research of emotive club music, ‘Soft Glow, Fierce Light’ seems more than appropriately named. Shimmering melodies, swinging rhythms, and a comforting ambiance, Phara proves that his constantly evolving musical persona and relationship with the Brussels club are built to last.
 
Beginning with ‘Unfold’, the Belgium-native sets the board with a warm introduction. Reminiscent of his recent endeavor as In Glass, a balance is struck between the slower tempo techno of his secondary alias and the higher club energy that he’s been known to bring as Phara. Steady at first, filters open wide half way through the track to ensure maximum euphoria off or on the dance floor. ‘Flow’ follows in suit and here the producer keeps the level constant and tense with intricate melodic design. A steady groove with blossoming synth lines make ‘Flow’ a beauty to witness unravel. Warm chord stabs make for a nostalgic EP and shows once more that the seasoned producer frequently enjoys prioritizing emotion over drive. Flipping the vinyl to the other side, ‘Wave to Wave’ points a finger to all things dub, even a discrete appreciation of house music, through the harmony of his keys to the sound design of his square bass, and its common borders with techno. Juggling in snare rolls and rides throughout, Phara sets the tone with a soothing piece of work for lovers of the eyes-closed genre. To conclude, ’Solitude’ brings a polished vintage effect to the project that ‘Wave to Wave’ introduced, this time with heightened intensity worthy of a set closer. Punchy stabs make this a particularly extraverted track, fitting into almost any record bag - Room 01 or Motion Room friendly. Thundering claps over an electric melody, these kinds of tracks aren’t new to Phara. Pouring soul into his tracks, Phara proves once again to be a truly central artist in developing the Fuse sound and continuing his stylistic journey.

A1. Markus Suckut - Patience
A2. Markus Suckut - Resurrection
B1. Markus Suckut - Myth
B2. Markus Suckut - Moments

A highly respected figure for dancers and artists alike, Markus Suckut offers his signature built-to-last sound to Fuse with ‘Moments’. In this style, confidence is key and Suckut provides soul to club music in a way few have been able to. Simple yet ever so refined, the German artist furthers his sound with the Belgian label with rolling tracks that reach beyond the dancefloor yet again. ‘Moments’ is just that, a collection of instances spent inside the mind or outwards into the world in order to move and connect. 

The A1 remains usually the first impression of every record, so it makes sense that ‘Patience’ would mark the beginning of this eight release for the Brussels’ club. A bubbly yet impactful track, ‘Patience’ rolls through six minutes in no time with eccentric percussion and a viscous low-end. Unafraid to break the codes in order to push his sound forward while respecting the essence of what makes the genre great, Suckut puts years of mastery at work in order to find balance and air between his elements. This impressive low-end rhythm is continued into ‘Resurrection’ - which is more of an exploration of dissonance and texture than its predecessor. With hi-hats whipping around the stereo field through metallic bends and a harmonic kick/bass, the record knows for what context ‘Resurrection’ is reserved for. ‘Myth’ then comes along to lighten the load with a positive groove and an extraverted arrangement, maintaining balance to the overall EP. Complete with a subtly modulating live-played percussion that echoes the character of a vocal and layered over an almost vintage drum sequence, the persistence of ‘Myth’ finds a sweet spot between techno and house, making it a versatile tool in almost any record bag. The soul of the EP, however, belongs to its title track ‘Moments’. Appropriately named, this fourth piece concludes Markus Suckut’s latest statement for the dancefloor. A suspension of time in structure as much as in melody, the producer takes the time to unveil each element of the record while maintaining a burning intriguing throughout. A truly timeless piece reserved for only the most special moments and most deserving crowds, Suckut proves once again that his understanding of emotion through his medium will echo his music across the world for years to come.

FUSE08 • Markus Suckut - Moments

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.

🎧 S.Y.E. – Bringing the Energy and the Sound 🎶

Hailing from a strong musical lineage,  S.Y.E.'s passion for music runs deep... his grandfather is even honored in the Iowa Music Hall of Fame. Immersed in sound from an early age, his journey into electronic music began in the late '90s, discovering influential artists like The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, and The Prodigy.

In 2001, his love for Trance, Hard House, Hard Trance, and Hardstyle ignited. Within a year, he bought his first set of turntables and taught himself how to DJ. Less than six months later, he landed his first gig at a local bar in Euless, TX... and hasn’t stopped since.

S.Y.E. became a well-known resident on Space Radio DFW, an internet radio staple, and also appeared on two major Dallas radio stations: 104.9 KZMP The Beat and 106.7 FM, the former Texas Party Station.

With his crew, Radio Tech Entertainment, he founded the annual Hard Haven event... North Texas’s premier celebration of hard dance music. His high-energy sets have rocked legendary venues like Afterlife Dallas, the world-famous Lizard Lounge, and clubs throughout Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and beyond. He's also brought Hardstyle to new audiences, introducing it to his hometown of Dubuque, Iowa, where the genre was virtually unknown... and had the crowd dancing all night.

He has shared the stage with icons such as Kutski, Ronski Speed, Paul Anthony, DJ Irene, DJ Venom, Vicious Vic, Matt Cerf, Suzy Solar, Elevation, Snow White, DJ K9, MXMIND, Djabe from E-Pro, and many more.

A dedicated producer since 2005, S.Y.E. continues to evolve his sound, releasing tracks on multiple labels. His music is available on his website and major download platforms.

Whether behind the decks or in the studio, S.Y.E. delivers pure energy and an unforgettable sound experience. 

👀 Keep an eye out... he’s sure to bring the energy and sound.
