Fuse London (Melbourne Showcase)

Brought to you by Subsonic Music and supported by KONTRAST and Stable Music, we are happy to present Enzo Siragusa, Seb Zito and Rich NXT to Brown Alley in Melbourne on Friday December 11th as a sideshow to Subsonic Music Festival.
FUSE LABEL
Since its inception in 2008, FUSE has established itself as a London institution and a major player on the international clubbing circuit, hosting over 300 successful events across Europe and around the world, whilst launching two critically acclaimed record labels. The philosophy of FUSE is simple: to stand out from the crowd by hosting exceptionally high-quality raves, built around superior-technical standards of sound design, and a close-knit core of residents. FUSE ensures line-ups are always well programmed and resonate with the distinctive FUSE sound.

With Enzo at the helm, the increasingly famed FUSE event series has expanded into new territories, pushing their sound around the world courtesy of label takeovers at some of Europe’s leading clubs, plus a highly coveted residency at Sankeys Ibiza, which launched in the Summer of 2012.

Unsurprisingly, FUSE at Sankeys Ibiza has been a roaring success with the residents playing every week alongside regular appearances from close friend tINI and other FUSE favourite guest DJs such as Sonja Moonear, Onur Özer, Martin Buttrich, Guti, and Julian Perez.

ENZO SIRAGUSA
Enzo Siragusa is something of an institution in the London nightlife scene. Having played records at the city’s finest clubs for over a decade, in 2008 he saw the time right to launch his own event and brand: FUSE. Initially taking place at East London’s infamous 93 Feet East, the weekly Sunday party then moved on to Shoreditch hotspot Village Underground. FUSE quickly built up an intensely loyal following, evolving its own unique sound which has inspired a new generation of producers around the globe.

Currently represented by the highly respected Artist Alife Agency which boats a roster of artists such as Loco Dice, Chris Leibing, Matthew Dear, Robert Hood, Radio Slave and many other high profile artists, Enzo is playing at an increasing number of prestigious gigs worldwide.

On the production front, Enzo is picking up where he left off last year with his exciting Kilimanjaro project, the collaboration with Alexkid that explored the boundaries between Garage, jungle and techno. With a brand new studio built near Fuse’s East London base, Enzo has already put together an exciting body of work that comprises some exciting collaborations with the likes of Guti, Julian Perez, tINI and other Fuse artists that will continue moving dance-floors into 2015.

Since discovering electronic music in 1994 Seb has rolled with the punches and moved with the times during a journey that has required constant evolution. Like a lot of London’s youth, his first encounters with the burgeoning underground community came via pirate radio stations and garage raves such as Exposure, Sun City, and Garage City. These years of nights spent in clubs have been the integral factor in the natural affinity that he shares with the dancefloor. The ability to read a crowd, invite them into his psyche, and keep them enveloped in the journey is all based on his own experiences.

And it is this that allowed him to establish himself as one of the core residents for London and Ibiza’s successful FUSE event series. His place as one of the key proponents of FUSE’s distinctive warm dubby sound is also reflected in his productions. Regularly featuring on VA EPs for both FUSE and inFUSE, the past 12 months have seen a string of releases and remixes that built on a solid foundation of previous output on labels such as OFF and Monique. His ‘Never’ EP on FUSE showed his ability to translate his DJ style into solidly crafted cut, whilst remixes for Whim-ee on Nite Grooves and Claudia Amprino on Tzinah showed his dexterity in reinterpreting other artists creative endeavours.

For years, Rich NxT has been a part of London’s thriving electronic music scene. Through all the genre shifts and changes, Rich has been a continual presence on the DJ circuit, gracing the decks at almost every venue in the capital worth mentioning. Playing out so regularly was the perfect grounding for Rich. As a long time music technology head, drummer, DJ and keyboardist, he amassed an array of invaluable experience and the all-important knowledge of what makes music stand-out and move people.

In his shows the boundaries between studio and performance are continuing to blur with Rich integrating more improvisation in his sets though the use of technology and calling upon his musical experience. Rich continues to deliver stand out music with his own NxT records about to drop dance floor gems in November 2015. Further releases include tracks appearing on the next Fizical Records release, Italian club HUND's new label and Opium Audio. This along with remixes for Tim Green’s Disc Over and new collaborations with Seb Zito and Enzo Siragusa will make 2015 Rich’s most active year to date.
