Progressive Mix Session 1.0

If you like D:Fuse's work, you should also check out his CD ... check out the Illusion Mix, which is also excellent.

Yeah, this CD has some great tunes, but its genius is revealed in its entirety. The tantalizing and utterly compelling build to track #6 is so divinely calculated and so completely effective, that the heavy percussive qualities of "Dutch Drum Attack" will blow your mind regardless of the system on which it is being played. Then, the mood relaxes a bit with some melody, and pumps it up again with "Bodyshock" (which, admittedly, REALLY shines with a quality subwoofer). Track #10 ("Cicadian Rhythms") is one of the most amazing, mind-expanding, progressive tunes I have ever heard, and will take your consciousness on an unforgettable, superfast, action-packed journey. And just when you think it can't get any more tasteful, D:Fuse eases you out of your "frabjous" state with a poignant, soothing, downward-spiraling trance melody.

Some people have issues with such melodic trance at the end of a hard-hitting progressive masterpiece. Well, it isn't THAT melodic, and if you listen to the CD as one complete composition, you will be thankful -- as I am -- for D:Fuse's rare gift of pulling just the right piece of vinyl out of his box.

PROGRESSIVE MIX SESSION 1.O by D:FUSE is a totally awesome cd. His mixing is clean and the song selection that he chooses will get you up and dancing in no time at all. The bass is bumping and the music jumping and we can see that D:FUSE is a very talented DJ who has a very promising career ahead of him. The music is perfect when just driving in your car or getting hyped for a night of some serious clubbing ahead. I recommend this cd for anyone interested in house/trance.

For those of you who are sick of cheesy trance then this is for you. This cd is awesome. I have about 100 house/trance cd's and this would definitely be in my top ten. I listen to everything from break beat to trance to house. This is more progressive house and less trancy. These are songs you would hear at a club.
If you are looking for something to dance to and listen to in the car then get this. You will not be disappointed. Those of you who like Nick Warren GU Budapest should get this. D:Fuse is not a household name but he is definitely talented. I have seen him live and he knows how to throw some wicked beats. Recommended.

d fuse is back with his third cd and it his best by far. driving bass lines of deep dark dirty progressive house/trance, nothing beats it. the only bad part about the cd is the intro which in my opinion isn t nessasary. after the into the fun begins. d fuse wastes no time to kick it into gear and the mix is off and running. its hard 2 find quality cds like this. I saw d fuse live with oakey and he put on a awsome set similar to this cd. This one and digweeds new G.U are the best of 2001 but Max Graham is coming out with tranceport 4 soon(I know it will be good) but this is a must buy for the true progressive Quality not cheese fan.
