ENZO SIRAGUSA ON HIS CLUBNIGHT FUSE
From after-party success to international glory, FUSE is no longer just one of London's most important club nights, it's rapidly becoming one of Europe's...
Starting as an after-party at East London's 93 Feet East on Sundays in 2008, FUSE has grown to become one of Europe's clubbing powerhouses. Now with regular London parties at Village Underground and a residency at Sankeys Ibiza, plus an event coming in Barcelona during Sonar, it's safe to say FUSE is one of the big boys.
With Enzo Siragusa as the brand's face and residents like Seb Zito, Rossko and Archie Hamilton flying the flag, it's also a label. Well-respected among connoisseurs of stripped-back grooves, FUSE London has released classy tech house cuts mainly from residents, but it's as a party that FUSE is best known. Going from after-party haunt to a proper club night, naturally the music policy has shifted a little in recent years.
“It was a much dubbier sound in the early days. Very stripped-back,” says Enzo. “As we have evolved there is a lot more energy, as the event and the crowd have naturally changed slightly. We as people and as DJs have become more cultured, and that is reflected in our production output, and of course what we play.”
With parties at Mint Club/Warehouse (Leeds), Sub Club (Glasgow), Undercurrent (Amsterdam), Goa Club (Rome) and Dude Club (Milan) under its belt, FUSE looks forward to its Sonar debut with an unofficial party featuring Nastia, Livio & Roby alongside Enzo, Seb and the residents at Hotel ZT on Saturday 20th June. FUSE is about to explode!
