TheMerode Music Club: 30 years of the legendary Fuse


Hear the story of the Fuse from its founder, Peter Decuypere, and its iconic DJ, Pierre.

30 years ago, Peter Decuypere founded the Fuse in Brussels. A club that would become one of the world's techno temples. 


In a conversation with Diane Marois, Peter Decuypere and DJ Pierre will share the story of Fuse. From one man's vision and determination, through the obstacles and challenges, to the evolution of techno music and high-quality programming, they will recount the anecdotes and big names (Laurent Garnier, Bjork, Daft Punk) that have marked its history.



TheMerode Music Club presents an exceptional talk followed by a DJ set to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this legendary club, featuring its founder and historic DJ, Pierre. 


Don’t miss this opportunity to dance to the sound of Fuse.

speaker

Pierre Noisiez

DJ Pierre : There are not many artists these days who manage to forge their reputation solely as a DJ, but Pierre comes proudly from an era when the craft of stitching records together into a meaningful experience had just as much importance placed on it as being the producer behind the tunes. From his position of influence as one of the long-standing residents of the world-famous Fuse club, he has been responsible for countless moments of shock and awe amongst the club-going crowds of Brussels and beyond.
