We're excited to announce our third release, produced by the talented Initial Code.
All four tracks are promising to be a thrilling exploration of groovy, loopy, and mental techno, featuring a remix by Raär. He elevates the original track into a deeper, more fast-paced universe, with a unique sound design and an abundance of energy.

This EP is a true timeless tool that everyone should add to their collection.

POD 007 w/ Downside

The POD series features home recordings by our Fuse residents that make the pulse of our club resound.

Drawing on his history with Fuse, Downside’s podcast sticks to the skin with what he knows about the sweaty evenings in Room 01 – and he’s well-versed in their workings.

The Brussels native with Bulgarian roots delivers a richly packaged one-hour mix, packed with plenty of sleek and hypnotic tracks thrown in. As Downside shares an increasingly pacey penchant for techno that function as a backdrop to his club music origin, you're in for a stimulating workout. The last step is simple: put your ears to it.

Résilience Podcast 022 - Ina Kacz

Fuse resident DJ and techno producer Downside is rapidly making a name for himself in the techno scene. He is no newcomer to the Brussels underground, putting out music and organizing parties for more than a decade.

For some historical context, Downside is a Brussels native with Bulgarian roots. Since 2007, he was already out, raving and playing at parties. On his days off, you could find him delving into audio engineering, obsessing over kick drums, compressors, recreating his favourite tracks from scratch. He kept at this for years, and then started organizing his own events in Congres Station of Brussels, and saw some of his original tracks released on his label - X/Y/Secret and others. His consistent output and activity led him into the Fuse Club's family, first as an audio engineer, then as a resident DJ, which puts him right at the heart of the future direction of techno. In his own sets, Downside combines techno and dub timbres with a precise, underground vibe. You'll hear his own tracks, blended with exactly what the audience needs, a skill perfected by deep experience as a DJ and sound engineer in Belgium's most legendary club.

Those in the know would be wise to keep an eye on Downside.
