t-quest

Request done ;) a while ago someone asked me to post a set by T-Quest (formerly know as "dj Stefaan" ... remember Teknoville-party?) so i did.

For Belgian readers T-Quest needs no introduction at all, he's a regular guest at Fuse, and was also part of their resident-team for a while.
As a producer he made his contribution to the techno hall of fame with the Upiter-track, one of my favourite releases on the Music Man-label.

Nowadays he has a residency at the Kozzmozz-parties, and according to some he also has a hidden agenda and enjoys playing elektro-tracks, wearing a tuxedo and looking like The Hulk's thin brother.

is she a taperipper to?

Lately i've been posting lots of sets by "guest dj's" at the Fuse-club, a bit unfair towards the resident-dj's, isn't it?
Warming up, trying to keep a vibe, and sometimes (often?) even outclassing the guests ... throughout the years these jocks earned their spot in Belgian nightlife: Pierre, Trish, St-Dic, Deg, T-Quest to name a few.

Deg joined the Fuse-team in 1997 after showing his qualities at AB-Sounds, Mauna Kea, Borsalino, BWP-experiments, Rave Explosion, Network, PK-Studios and even May-Day. Nowadays, he's still part of that same team and usually spins in the main room.

It seems to get harder by the day to keep my sets online ... so grab this one as fast as you can. In the meantime i'll try posting an update on what's online and what isn't by the end of the week (or month, year, decade?).
Here's over 2-hours of Carl Craig, as usual a set recorded at Fuse. To be honest i haven't been the biggest fan of his dj-sets the last years: a part of his tracklist never seems to change. This is like an exception (maybe because it was recorded over 7 years ago).
It sets off in a very laidback houzy kinda way and slowly enters a Detroit spectrum called techno. Tiny details: the first 8 minutes of the recording are played by one of the Fuse-residents.

Posting artists who are related to R&S seems to have become a habit of mine ... or just a coincidence.
Uk-born and Belgium-based Christian Jay Bolland (dj/producer) started of on the label in 1991 with his Ravesignal-series.
Alongside Frank de Wulf he was one of the first Belgian dj's to gain succes abroad. Nowadays he's still in high demand, not only solo, but also together with Tom Barman under the Magnus-alias.
The 2-hour set underneath was recorded at Fuse in 1999, 2 years after he released one of his biggest successes: The Prophet. It's a very solid mix, mainly techno. Go! Bang!!

kevin "master reese" saunderson

I'm back after a 2-weeks stop in France (Provence & Corsica), which were both very nice ... but that's probably not what you're interested in.

So here goes: underneath's a link to a 2 hour set by Kevin Saunderson, 1/3th of the Belleville Three.
I had the pleasure of hearing him spin already a few times (Teknoville a.o.), but the past few years i often have the impression he plays to hard (or i'm getting to old).
Luckily this Fuse-set is rather housy, and filled with a fair amount of unknown tracks + some classics near the end of the set.
Enjoy!

Last post before i'm taking 2 weeks off.
Rush rush, no time for research ... packing my bags and i'm off on holiday.

If you're into techno here's what you can listen to in the meantime:




 DJ Set The Advent (Fuse, May 30, 1998) by Red Bull Elektropedia

extra time

Here's one of my alltime favourite videos: Ken Ishii's breakthrough-track Extra. The video's just as excellent as the song itself. The release came with a few excellent remixes, hard to choose which one's the best ... Dave Angel did a great uptempo track, but the more breaky Wagonchrist-remix was truly amazing (that bass sound just blew me away).

I saw Ishii perform only once, when he did a dj-set at I love Techno (the first or second edition at Flanders Expo i guess). His set was very diverse, blending techno with house, breakbeats and some olskool sounds.
Underneath's a comparable set, recorded at Fuse. You've been warned: expect more than just techno.

As usual i'm testing yet another filehost (it's starting to turn into a fetish)

up up up up

As you've noticed a lot of my sets have been deleted ... i've started replacing the old links by some mirror-files. Within the next few days a lot of stuff (not all) should be online again.
