And so it begins...
This weekend, Fuse took perhaps it's biggest step towards the move to it's new home so far. A few of the Fuse techies came down to test the new equipment we've obtained so far but once they had tools in their hands, they just couldn't stop. This resulted in what you see above. Piles of equipment tested and ready for installation, reems of wiring lists and other designs and a Studio 1 stripped of much of it's wiring and equipment.

Kraftwerk Day
It was about 2 years ago that I was declared by techie Matthew Leach to be Fuse FM's resident Kraftwerk expert. And as such, I couldn't let myself get away without informing you about an event coming up this Sunday on BBC Radio 6. This weekend, our friends over at the British Broadcasting Corporation will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the chart success for one of the most iconic electronic tracks ever created. The Model by Kraftwerk.

Rihanna Album Review
Rihanna: Talk That Talk Review By Nikos Voulgaris
Rihanna may be the best artist that Barbados can take pride of, but she is, in fact, way more than that. Having sold over 20 million albums and 60 million singles worldwide she is fairly one of the best selling artists of all time already, before the age of 24. Using a mixture that is far from rare, she is loved by her fans for connecting RnB, hip-hop and house music in her albums.
