Show notes

In 1994, Fuse opened its doors on the Rue Blaes in downtown Brussels. From early on, this nightclub attracted Detroit techno pioneers Carl Craig, Jeff Mills, and Juan Atkins and cutting-edge French innovators like Laurent Garnier and Daft Punk. Over time, Fuse became one of the most important clubs on the European techno scene and, to celebrate its 30th birthday last year, Koen Galle published Fuse: 30yrs Of Making Noise (AfterClub, 2024). In this recording of a live event, Galle talks to Simon Taylor about the glory days of Fuse and what has made it one of the longest-surviving clubs in Europe – outlasting and predating more famous venues like Trezor and Bergheim in Berlin. Formerly a DJ, Koen Galle founded publishing house AfterClub to uncover stories about Belgium's rich electronic music culture and nightlife. Learn more about your ad choices.
