18 Hours of Techno Family: Fuse and Vault Sessions Take Over Circle Park and the Club

On 4 July 2026, Fuse teams up with Dutch label Vault Sessions for a massive 18‑hour marathon split between an open‑air day at Circle Park in Anderlecht and a full‑on club night at Fuse. From 14:00 to 08:00, the event brings together Brussels regulars and international heavy‑hitters for a hardgroove, techno, acid and raw techno ride that feels like a proper summer ritual. For the city’s queer and allied ravers, it’s a chance to experience a long, multi‑venue day that mixes familiar faces, new sounds and the kind of communal dancefloor energy Fuse has been nurturing for decades.

Two Spaces, One Long Ride

“18HRS of Fuse w/ Vault Sessions: Open Air & Club” starts in the afternoon at Circle Park (Rue des Goujons 156, 1070 Anderlecht), an outdoor space that has become a reference point for Brussels’ more adventurous parties. As Fuse puts it, “the air changed, and so did the park”: the idea is to reinvent this green‑industrial spot with a full day of music under the long summer light.

From there, the event transitions into a night session at Fuse (Rue Blaes 208, 1000 Brussels), the iconic club that has shaped local techno culture for over 30 years. The format is simple but powerful: open‑air to club, sun to darkness, grass underfoot to concrete and strobes – a full spectrum of rave settings without leaving the city.events.

A Line‑Up That Speaks Techno Fluently

Daytime at Circle Park is led by Rene Wise, joined by Dutch voices AMORAL and VSC (Vault Sessions Collective), with Brussels’ own Bored Bouddha on board. Expect grooves that balance hypnotic repetition with serious drive – the kind of sets that work equally well with sunglasses on and with eyes closed.fuse+1

When the sun checks out, the focus shifts to Fuse. Phil Berg and Lobster (NL) go b2b, ANNĒ flies in as “Greek’s very best”, and residents Border One (live), Hadone and Phara carry the night through to the other side. It’s a line‑up that speaks the language of techno fluently: hardgroove, acid, raw textures, but also enough variation to keep things moving over 18 hours rather than flattening into one mood.

For queer and under‑the‑radar ravers who often build their nights around smaller collectives and DIY spaces, it can be interesting to see how a major club like Fuse collaborates with an international label like Vault Sessions, and how local names share the bill with guests from the Netherlands, Greece and beyond.

Why It Matters for Brussels Nightlife

Brussels’ clubbing ecosystem has been through a lot: closures, noise complaints, changing regulations, shifting scenes. Events like this 18‑hour collaboration show that there is still room for ambitious formats that treat the city as a playground rather than a constraint.

The dual‑venue set‑up – Circle Park for the day, Fuse for the night – also echoes what Ket sees in queer and alternative scenes: a desire to mix outdoor spaces, more relaxed atmospheres and classic club experiences, rather than sticking to one model. And while 18HRS of Fuse is not branded as a queer event, many queers in Brussels have long considered Fuse part of their extended nightlife family, especially on nights where dancefloor codes feel welcoming, diverse and focused on music rather than spectacle.
