It’s hard to measure the impact that Fuse has had on techno in the past 20 years. Capturing the energy as the dance music of Detroit exploded into a global phenomenon in the 90s, the club has always stood proud as a bastion of techno culture that continues a long tradition of uncompromising electronic music in Belgium.

From Motor City innovators such as Juan Atkins, Robert Hood and Carl Craig to show stopping acts like Bjork, Daft Punk and Aphex Twin, and every underground legend in between, the cast of characters in Fuse’s long history is comprehensive. As such, the prospect of such an institution setting up an own festival comes with a great weight of expectation.
