Enzo Siragusa links with Kepler for the fourth instalment of FUSE’s collaborative X Series.

Launched in 2022, FUSE’s collaborative X Series brought a new project to the iconic imprint with label favourites and special guests combining to unveil a string of unique releases in partnership with one another. After welcoming anonymous pairing eb_flow, plus Traumer, Cristi Cons, Alex Neri and Mennie to the series so far, the fourth instalment sees label boss Enzo Siragusa link with fellow UK talent Kepler for a powerful three-track edition in perfect time for the height of summer.

Needing little introduction, FUSE head honcho Siragusa has continued to prove exactly why he remains at the forefront of the UK and global house landscape, with recent appearances from Glastonbury to DC10 and DGTL amongst sold-out FUSE showcases at Off Sonar and 2024’s Open Air in London. After making a trip to Will Saul’s Aus Music imprint to close 2023, he now readies his first new music of the year as he partners with rising talent Kepler, who makes his label debut following material via Pilot, Constant Sound, and his own Thirst and Perspective imprints, to deliver a trio of impressive productions across FUSEX004.

Bold and heavy-hitting, with signature weighty low-ends and skipping grooves, ‘Synergy’ is a sizzling lead effort that pairs squelchy synth lines with a bubbling bassline to deliver a no-nonsense peak-time opener. Next, ‘Soul Purpose’ brings warmth through jazz-flecked melodies and skipping percussion as the pair harness funky bass licks and playful tones, before closing the package with more rumbling sub-bass, hazy pads and dubby chords across the energy-loaded and groove-heavy ‘Parallel’.
