Honey & Badger has rightfully found himself as a tracklist staple throughout the resumption of festival season, and he’s back once more to ensure that’s not going to change anytime soon. Just like most of his deliveries, “Fuse” alongside Hooders—who also had a seat at Malaa’s Illegal Mixtape Vol. 3 table—was another evasive ID that perpetually made the rounds over the past few months, appearing not once but twice at EDC Las Vegas at the hands of both Habstrakt and Wax Motif. A handful of months after its initial unveiling and “Fuse” has now come out of its live-only residency for a fitting arrival through Wax Motif’s Divided Souls imprint.

We’ll say it time and time again but there’s truly nothing better than a title that fits the production its married to. “Fuse” is the embodiment of just that, with Honey & Badger cementing a Belgian quintet alongside the four-person powerhouse known as Hooders as the countrymen drop in ingredients of both tech-house and techno, detonating a darkened, white-hot production that wears its name on its chest proudly.
