Brazilian duo ANONIMAT, the brainchild of Gaba and Atticus, channel a sound that's equal parts hypnotic groove and raw instinct. Their sets are already fixtures at iconic clubs from Warung Beach Club to D-EDGE and Soundtuary, performances filled with an ability to push beyond the dancefloor into deeper, cerebral territory. Their recent collaboration with George X on Balance Music, the main-room weapon “Telezar,” stands as a calling card for that boundary-blurring approach. On this Balance Selections mix, the duo lock in on a sound that's immersive and kinetic, threading a journey that's as heady as it is physical. With cuts from Mike Rish, GMJ & Matter, and Ezequiel Arias, the mix lands as a statement of intent from one of Brazil's most compelling rising acts. @weareanonimat

Raised on Argentina's electronic underground, Andrés Moris has quietly emerged as one of the scene's more introspective voices. With a sound that favors depth over immediacy, he has a distinct knack for building atmosphere, something that's earned him support from respected labels like Meanwhile and Sudbeat. His remix earlier this year of Eichenbaum's Transcender, released on Balance Music, showcased his ability to stretch emotion across a track without ever losing control.

 On this Balance Selections mix, the rising talent delivers a big mix filled with lush melodic flavours. Featuring Max Graham, Marsh, Scippo, and of course, Moris himself, this is a 10-track delight that moves with the ease of a familiar memory. @andrees-moris

Guy Mantzur operates at the juncture of structure and sentiment, crafting soundscapes that are both meticulously engineered and emotionally resonant.

At the start of 2025, we released the epic three-track EP Sunday's Memory from George X, a deep, main-room progressive journey that solidified his evolving sound.

Subtle yet emotionally rich, his tracks have caught the ears of global tastemakers, earning support from John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Lee Burridge, and many more. On this Balance Selections mix, the Greek producer proves he's just as skilled behind the decks as he is in the studio.

Sarah Chilanti is steadily making her mark in progressive house, combining subtle vocals with deep, melodic production that has caught the attention of artists like Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, and Nick Warren. With releases on labels such as Or Two Strangers, Manual Music, and Plattenbank, her sound continues to resonate on and off the dance floor. In her local Brazil, she's performed at venues including D-Edge, Green Valley, and River Club, where her thoughtful approach to DJing is earning growing recognition.

Featuring track from Ric Niels, Kamilo Sanclemente and Matter, this charts a course from deep house to deep prog with the ease of a twenty-year veteran. @sarah-chilanti

Roger Martinez is a distinctive voice in electronic music, known for deep, progressive trance-influenced DJ sets and detailed productions. Shaped by Amsterdam's club scene in the late '90s and early 2000s,  his long-form sets often move across genres, using 4-deck mixing to build cohesive, evolving journeys. With releases from Lost & Found to Sudbeat and Plattenbank, Martinez continues to explore subtle textures and rhythmic depth, an intention you can hear clearly on his own Higher States imprint. On this Balance Selections mix, Martinez flexes with an impressive 90-minutes ride through forward-thinking prog. Featuring tracks from Maze28, Amháin & EMPHI and Dowden & Mazayr, this is a hypnotic drift worth surrendering to. @rogermartinez

Equal parts nostalgia and innovation, Khen's emotionally rich productions — rooted in progressive, shaped by house, and tinted with techno — have made him a standout on dancefloors that demand more than just a drop.

Khen will perform at Balance Croatia 2025. @khenmusic __________________________________________________ BALANCE CROATIA FESTIVAL LAUNCH PARTY Barbarellas Discotheque, Pirovac, Croatia feat.

Paula OS is a Chilean-born, Argentina-based producer, singer, and DJ crafting atmospherically rich electronica influenced by acts like Radiohead, Portishead, and Björk. She launched her solo live project in 2017—dreamy vocals with hypnotic textures—which eventually led to a collaboration with Hernán Cattáneo and Soundexile on Renaissance: the alluring ‘Harvest' EP. Earlier this year, she founded her own label, Sopor Music, kicking things off with ‘Image', a solo six-track album coded with electronica and emotional hues. On this Balance Selections mix, Paula OS delivers a dynamic take on progressive, filled with cerebral moments and pure dancefloor diesel. Featuring tracks from Stimming, Analog Jungs, Stereo Underground & D-Nox, this tightly programmed session shows she's transmitting a unique frequency that's becoming increasingly hard to ignore. @paula_os

Melbourne's DJ Be Kind to Other People has built a reputation through kaleidoscopic sets that are joy-positive. Equally at home alongside Australian crossover acts like Sneaky Sound System and Flight Facilities or deep in the sweat-soaked confines of the city's infamous Revolver Upstairs club, he thrives on a versatility which bridges scenes without ever compromising his identity. His unique journey has already taken him to Burning Man (USA) and Devconnect (Turkey), with his next international appearance set for our inaugural Balance Croatia. Beyond the booth, he hosts Coburg Up Late, a talk show filmed in his garage featuring global and local dance music names. On this Balance Selections mix, DJ Be Kind to Other People lets his personality shine across two hours of lush house and progressive. Featuring tracks from Gai Barone, Monkey Safari, Hannes Bieger, and more, it's a vibrant journey into the mind of a truly idiosyncratic selector. @djbekindtootherpeople

By the mid-'90s, while peak-time anthems dominated global dancefloors, Melbourne started developing its own dialect—a darker, more hypnotic sound rooted in restraint. At its core was a small community of DJs and producers, united by a shared refusal to chase trends. The sound they conjured was haunting: progressive but with a sparse architecture which created ample space for atmosphere. Indeed, a Zero Tolerance track spilled across the dancefloor with the tension of a coming storm. Uncompromising, yet cerebral. To supplement our deep dive with Gab Oliver (see link above to read full interview), the label head compiled an exclusive mix filled with fresh label cuts released on the label since its 2021 relaunch. No nostalgia, just fresh pressure.

Since the pandemic, Glasgow has been carving out a fresh identity in the progressive scene through Skyline — a monthly rooftop gathering that's become a ritual for fans of deep, melodic sound. Helmed by Graham Chalmers aka Twilo, the party pairs high-calibre lineups with five-star comfort, earning rare goodwill from artists and punters alike. It's no surprise Skyline felt like the perfect fit as a brand partner for Balance Croatia. With the countdown underway to our sold-out debut, the timing was right to shine a light on the man behind the movement — and invite him to showcase his musical chops alongside longtime partner-in-sound and fellow Skyline resident, Andy Newland. What they delivered is a four-hour excursion packed with progressive heat and nostalgic undertones. Featuring tracks from Nicolas Rada, Ezequiel Arias, Gai Barone and more, it's a delicious taste of what's to come this August. @skyline_glasgow

D-Nox has carved a global reputation for genre-blurring sets that fuse progressive, tech-house, trance, and techno into something magnetic and unforgettable. Whether behind the decks, steering Sprout and Plastik Park, or teaming up as D-Nox & Beckers, his taste, energy, and dancefloor instincts have made him a true underground favorite. D-Nox will perform at Balance Croatia 2025. @d-nox_official __________________________________________________ BALANCE CROATIA SOLD OUT! Limited daily tickets remain.
