For its latest instalment, Fuse enlists the services of Dold. Known for pure techno releases on Blue Hour and his own Arsenik imprint, Rider drops an excellent, diverse four-tracker. "Smile" is a lean, pulsating groove, peppered with acid squelches. Meanwhile on "Old News", Dold puts the focus on robust, steely drums - which act as the basis for a stripped back, rolling groove. The other pieces reveal a more musical side to Dold's sound and the insistent groove of "Rich String" resounds to a moody organ riff. Best of all though is the title track, a richly melodic Detroit groove that recalls Aril Brikha's futuristic leanings.
