Another good episode for you all.  This time we have a big timer in the form of D:Fuse.  AKA Dustin Fuselier.  I've known Dustin for quite a few years now and am proud to have him on the show as he has been a great influence in the progressive scene over the years.  I will let the bio speak for itself but let me say that what follows is but a taste of what he has been into over the years.  I would also like to point you all to his websites.

Born and bred in Texas, D:FUSE always dreamt of being a musician. As a
teenager, D:FUSE hated electronic music. "I felt like live musicianship
was what real music was, a group of guys all jamming together." But
after several years of playing in the live music circuit, D began to
feel that the "live" music scene was becoming old, and began to believe
that the real art

music wasn't just in playing it, but in creating and writing it; live
instruments
seemed to have a lot of limitations. "Electronic music seemed like a
vast landscape to me. Limitless. When I picked up Nine Inch Nails"
Pretty Hate Machine," I knew electronic music was what I wanted to
write," D:FUSE says.


D:FUSE broke onto the Texas club scene ten years ago
performing industrial music under the name Culture Industry. Influenced
by bands like The Fixx, The Chameleons, U2, Ministry, and Depeche Mode,
the young D:FUSE soon turned his energies to full-time DJing, spinning
progressive music.


As his DJ reputation grew, D:FUSE began spinning all over the
USA, Canada and Mexico. His first mix CD, "Psychotrance 2000,"was
released in September 1999, was followed up with "Psychotrance 2001,"
and then "Progressive Mix Volume One," When D:FUSE's skills came to the
attention of Paul Oakenfold, Oakenfold was so impressed that he offered
D:FUSE the opening DJ slot on two North American Perfecto tours. This
gave D:FUSE the opportunity to expand his horizons and establish his
name with huge audiences. According to Oakenfold: "D:FUSE represents
what I admire most. He's worked hard for what he's achieved, He's a
fantastic DJ and artist, he has a creative mind and he understands the
whole vibe."
