F.U.S.E.
by John BushA Richie Hawtin pseudonym which predated even the more famed Plastikman, F.U.S.E. debuted in 1991 with the fourth single on Hawtins +8 Records, Approach & Identify. Given wider issue later that year on the +8 compilation From Our Minds to Yours, F.U.S.E. released several more singles during 1992, then the album Dimension Intrusion in 1993. Released on Warp Records (Britains premiere label for the new listening techno), the LP gained Hawtin many converts, especially when it was released in America as well, by TVT Records. While Hawtin increasingly concentrated on his Plastikman project, new F.U.S.E. releases became more and more rare. [See Also: Richie Hawtin, Plastikman]\r
