HEAVY BASS LICKS AND CRISP PERCUSSION
A CONVERSATIONย WITHย ENZO SIRAGUSA
When a DJ is inspired by every party he attends โ be it break beat to classic house to drum and bass โ what does he do? ย For Enzo Siragusa, London DJ and Producer, he continues to throw the best old school rave parties. Named FUSE, along with his FUSE label and sound.ย Siragusa has become an internationally sought after electronic music producer and DJ talent.
His performance,thisย Saturday May 13, 2017, is his Toronto debut performance. Siragusa will drop his new and upcoming releases throughout his set at CODA. This includes a collaboration with Archie Hamilton for MOSCOW Records and a Premiesku In Sfera remix on VIS298 | 20:20 Vision.
โIโll be road testing these and other new tracks this Saturday,โ Siragusa shares with me. He just got back from playing a gig with Kerri Chandler, one of his earlier inspirations.
While Siragusa has been DJing since 1993, he only started producing eight years ago. โI never stop making music,โ he confesses. โIโm always making a loop on my way to a new gig.โ He also expresses the usual frustration any artist encounters with the fleeting muse of inspiration. โI once made a classic deep house track in two hours, โOur Little Angelโ โ other times I hit a wall.โ
Siragusa likes to close his sets with โOur Little Angelโ, ย yet, as a DJ, he denies that he is a purist โ โI mix it up: Iโll spin vinyl and bring along a USB because I canโt bring my new stuff on vinyl as it hasnโt been pressed yet.โ I challenge his sentiment when he shares that he prefers an expanded mixer, two CD-Js and two turntables.
โI like to have to dig for the records. I go with a mood and an energy and believe thereโs always a record that can capture that. Thatโs DJing for me.โ And his first record? Green Manโs โShut up and Dance.โ Purist 100%.
Siragusaโs special sneak preview on Saturday at CODA will likely pave the way for his return with a Toronto FUSE party at some point. Until then book in to hear his new releases in club sound this weekend or check FUSEโs four nights back to back at Amnesia (Ibiza).
