If you’ve missed out on Ibiza’s hidden gem, here’s your chance to claim your treasure. FUSE, one of London’s most beloved institutions, has come to Ibiza in recent years, cementing itself as the place to be for lovers of the underground on Wednesday nights. And Sankeys Ibiza, the island’s most underground friendly venue, is the perfect place to see the night play out. We chatted with one of the night’s residents, Rossko, ahead of another incredible night of uncharted, boundary pushing territory that FUSE founder, Enzo Siragusa and the rest of the crew have become hailed for. We spoke to Rossko in order to find out how his relationship with one of the most respected brands in underground clubbing came about.
How long have you been with FUSE? Hey Pulse Radio! I was playing for Fuse on and off as a guest since 2008 when the first parties began at 93 Feet East, but officially Enzo and Tony invited me to become a resident back in June, 2011.
How did you hook up with them initially? A mutual friend introduced Enzo to me at a warehouse party in London back in 2008. After hanging for the night, we actually came to the conclusion that we had met many years ago, but that’s another story itself! Enzo invited me to come down to play his new party, Circuit. It was in a basement of this really cool bar/club called Home Bar tucked away in Shoreditch. After spinning there, I met up with Tony and the rest of the crew, and I started to hang out with everyone. Fuse started a few months later as an after party for the after party of Circuit!
What makes playing FUSE Ibiza different than back in London? FUSE Ibiza exposes us to new people from all over the UK and rest of the world that may not of had the chance to experience the parties what we do back home. It’s been great to meet people that support the label and have been following us from afar. Ibiza is a great hub for this and it really does show us how far we have reached out.
Why do you think the party works so well out here? Having our Ibiza residency at Sankeys has really helped us create the similar vibes and feeling to what we do back home. Having a great PR team and full-support from the club is really important to us. It’s also great we have a sound engineer that really understands our sound and is very patient with us every week!
Have you any new original tracks in the pipeline that we might be hearing this summer? This year I have been sitting in the studio with a few engineers working on some new projects that I have been testing out at Fuse. I also have a track with Enzo and Luke Miskelly that will be finished soon. This winter will be committed to studio time so I can get all these finished and more ready for the label.
