For 30 years, Fuse has been at the heart of the city’s nightlife, shaping the soundscape of techno and house music. As it celebrates its milestone anniversary, Fuse releases Fuse: 30 Years of Making Noise, a book by journalist and DJ Koen Galle. This beautifully crafted publication dives into the club’s history, its cultural impact, and its role as a space for connection and celebration.
Spanning 352 pages, the book showcases rare photographs, iconic flyers, and personal anecdotes from artists, staff, and clubbers. With a lineup that has included legends like Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, and Charlotte de Witte, Fuse has long been a beacon for electronic music. But Fuse is also intertwined with Brussels’ LGBTQ+ scene, as it’s the home of La DEMENCE, one of Europe’s most iconic gay parties. This connection underscores Fuse’s role as a space where music, diversity, and inclusion meet.
A Legacy of Sound and Style
Designed by Otis Verhoeve, the book’s Swiss binding and linen spine reflect the care that has gone into preserving this history. Limited to 2,000 copies, Fuse: 30 Years of Making Noise is not just a chronicle of music but a testament to the cultural role Fuse has played in bringing people together.
Whether you’ve lost yourself on its labyrinthine dance floors or danced the night away at one of its legendary events, this book celebrates the sounds, stories, and shared moments that have defined Fuse.
