In Session: Archie Hamilton b2b Rossko

It's no secret that we're big fans of Fuse. The London party has gone from strength to strength over the past few years and the entire crew has proven that growing something organically is always the best way to go. And what's not to love about the brand? Its DJs are not only technically proficient with a sound that resonates through all their sets but they've all come up together through the ranks.

Helmed by Enzo Siragusa, what started out as a small, family-orientated party at 93 Feet East, is now a global affair and today we concentrate on two of the stable's most exciting names.

Rossko's rise to the top of Fuse's team sheet is one that's come from years of hard graft and dedication to carving a distinct sound and style. The only way of reaching these sorts of levels is through putting in the hours and once he swapped football boots for headphones, his path was clear. He ran several London parties and held a couple of key residencies, most notably at Public Life, but when he got the call from Fuse to join the brigade at their then Brick Lane home, that's when his calling was realised.

He's one of the few successful DJs on the circuit that's made his name through the immense quality of his DJing alone. He doesn't release any music, although he's worked on some cuts with Julian Perez in the past, and concentrates on his hectic touring schedule that sees him travel across the world. It may be an overused term but to call Rossko a DJ's DJ would just about sum him up.

One of Fuse's newest members is Archie Hamilton and here's another artist who's been lapping up his inclusion within the Fuse fold. Unlike Rossko, though, it's Archie's productions that have been his source of a progression. He started up Moscow Records in 2009 and it's been a hub for his groove-fuelled, low-slung tech and minimal, bumping productions.

Last year was a big one for Hamilton, too. His affiliation with Fuse gained more momentum and he found himself at a lot of the label's biggest parties. His 'Works On Sunday' EP is some of his most accomplished work yet and 'Mind Blank' became a summer anthem, one that came bursting with energy and bounce in abundance. We spotted it from a mile off and premiered it that July; it went off. His 'Troublemaker' EP on Sukhumvit Records was another stormer last year and with that Archie's transition from label boss to recognised artist was complete.

When Archie and Rossko come together to play though it's the perfect merging of styles. Their fruity, rolling and emotive tech works in both a jacked-up warm-up slot or when they're playing to a peak-time room and Fuse's current residency at HYTE at Amnesia is the perfect example of how well the two work together.

After a hugely successful quarterly residency at Space last year, the Fuse crew have moved to Amnesia for a Wednesday night slot at HYTE and it's a great fit. With Loco Dice rolling out his tribal, thumping brand of house on the terrace, it seems fitting that Enzo and the squad take over the club room to showcase their own batch of super-club rhythms. The opening garnered huge praise from social media across the board and we're happy to present Archie and Rossko's b2b session from the night.

What starts off sultry and silky soon builds pace and by the end of the hour and half set, it's full on pumpers. Here's to another great Ibiza season for the Fuse crew and if there's any horse worth backing on the island, it's this one.
