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.

MAURER is the 452nd guest of our original Hate Podcast series.

This mix captures the essence of MAURER’s sound — a vision of techno built on percussive drive and fluid motion, shifting between hypnotic cuts and melodic contrasts. Layered with textures, twisted synths and pulsating sequences, the set unfolds as an energetic journey crafted for the dancefloor yet rich in detail for deep listeners.

At its core, it’s about balance: the tension of hypnotic repetition against the release of melody, the raw pulse of percussion intertwined with moments of introspection. A narrative where every track contributes to a story of motion, intensity and connection with the underground.

At this point a regular contributor in defining Token’s sound, Border One steps up for his sixth EP on the label in five years. As in many of his past projects, ‘Where is Now’ bleeds characte r through effect for a trip on the dance floor. 

‘Time Drift’ reaffirms his minimalist approach to the EP, only inviting anxious drum sequences with rising rides in the second half. The portal opens steadily in ‘Time Drift’, establishing a slightly more meditative tone than he’s done in the past.

Premiere: Border One "Time Drift" - Token Records

SERA J, also known as Dimitrios Serasidis, is a techno DJ, producer and live performer from Thessaloniki. His sound draws from Detroit influences, built on tough basslines, steady grooves and sharp, detailed rhythms. He’s released music on labels such as Mutual Rytm, Life in Patterns and Projekts, building a solid reputation through consistent work and support across the scene. With more than a decade of experience, he’s played at clubs and festivals including RSO, Dreaming Festival, Under Club, Fridas Pier and Lofi, and has recently been exploring a more experimental edge through his live sets.

This one-hour mix is hypnotic and steady, a bit more stripped back than usual. It moves with a slow, immersive pull while keeping that raw drive at the centre, offering a deeper and more reflective side of his sound.
