New Fusion: Slim Shore, Titan, Zany, Noisecontrollers, B-Front and Frontliner

admin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:47:34 +0000

I figured since not a whole lot is going on in the hardstyle scene at the moment, and the fact that it’s doing some pretty interesting thing at the moment, I can give you an update as to what’s forthcoming on the now massive label, Fusion Records.

Recently signed to Fusion, we have two newcomers, Slim Shore, who you may recognise as the old Dutch Master, and Titan, who has played at Q-Base as DJ Pinas.

Slim Shore is slated to have a 3-tracker debut EP, featuring King of the Stage, Scars and Siren. Of the three tracks, only two have previews which are below, however all three sound quite dissonant and contain weird harmonics. A new musical direction for Henry? I hope so, because it sounds awesome.

Titan, basing purely on sound, sounds to me like a darker Zany alias. Having no prior productions, yet listening to the quality of his music – not to mention the fact it’s Fusion – leads me to believe he may have had quite a helping hand from head honcho, Zany and possibly the label’s musical magician, The Pitcher. Either way, Strength and Fury and Nightmare are both melodic and rough, a perfect combination.

Click here to view the embedded video.

Then we have two tried and tested artists, some of the biggest in the scene coming together to give us two – possibly three – predictably hard tracks. If you’ve listened to either a Zany or Noisecontrollers set in the past few months you’ve probably heard either Diffusion or Paranoid, and though they might not have been quite so memorable, they are quite so awesome.

We haven’t heard a whole lot from B-Front since Fusion signed him quite some time ago. Apparently working on a solo 4-tracker, he’s been busy at work with someone who has had quite a lot of attention since he arrived on the scene, Frontliner. Together they’ve come out with four pretty hard tracks to be split and released on both Fusion and Scantraxx.

The Fusion two contain Magic and Become The Sky, Magic being the rough standout and perfect combination of styles.

More and more previews keep coming, yet barely anything is released. Not only is there the above in the queue to be released, there’s also Zany & Dozer with Fruxaq and Huwex, Noisecontrollers & Toneshifterz with Empire of the Sun and Jaydee, Zany’s solo with Angel of the Sun & Purify Your Senses, Dozer’s solo with Robin’s Revenge and Elixer, some unofficially announced forthcoming Pitcher and no doubt some Donkey Rollers.

C’mon Fusion, pick up the pace, everyone wants your stuff!

Titan Joins Fusion Records

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:57:32 +0000

Fusion Records, seemingly looking toward the future, are not to be stopped, as another newcomer is added to their large label. This is helping them establish an extensive roster of incredibly skilled producers that can only improve in the future. Speculation at the moment involves a rearrangement in the record label, moving the established artists such as The Pitcher and Dozer off Superplastik onto Fusion, leaving Superplastik for the ever growing number of new talents.

The new artist, Titan, which some of you may recognise previously as Pinas, a man who has already played at Q-Base in 2006, and Defqon.1 in 2007 and 2008, not to mention a vast array of smaller events, was officially announced – it was assumed Titan was going to be signed to Fusion as he was performing on the Fusion truck during the parade – in a similar fashion to Slim Shore, via a video on YouTube.

Coming seemingly from nowhere, because as far as I can tell he has no prior productions, he must have spent a while locked in the studio, practicing and possibly being mentored by Zany, as the preview of his first track Titan - Strength and Fury definitely has a Zany touch within it.

Check out the track embedded below, which sounds quite dark and rough, and very professional, so a spot at Fusion does make sense.

A big congratulations to Titan, we’re looking extremely forward to seeing what he can come up with.
