From the coastal town of Hastings, UK, Darper blends melody and texture into moving shades that defines his cinematic style. Having played from London to San Francisco, Berlin to Burning Man, Darper brings the same storytelling sensibility to his Electric Fiction mix series and his immersive DJ sets. His releases span respected labels such as Anjunadeep, Culprit LA, Sound Avenue, Balance Music, and The Soundgarden, and he has featured alongside artists including Brian Eno, Matthew Dear, and Nick Warren. On this Balance Selections, the producer delivers an organic touch that arrests attention. Featuring tracks from Fort Romeau, Rival Consoles, Luca Bachetti and more, this is a colourful journey documenting the deeper corners of progressive house. @darpermusic

The brooding ‘Driftor' is designed to nudge any DJ set in the right direction. An off-beat bass drives the engine, allowing you to comfortably sit in the pocket of its inviting narrative. Steely drums and percussion form a cohesive frame, while a bag of tasteful effects, samples, and stabs fill the remaining spaces. Once the breakdown hits, in all its subtlety, you know you're in the hands of professionals. This is essential prog, designed for any occasion. @haftmusik

Filled with depth, ‘Prism' shimmers and shakes as synths and stabs perpetually morph. The result is a continuous stream of sonic moments to lose yourself in. Thankfully, the dense bassline and drums bring you back from the edge of hypnosis, filling the space with an elastic energy as buoyant as a trampoline. Then comes the breakdown: bells dissolve into minor-key haze, half beautiful, half surreal: an inviting dream-logic that is hard to deny. @haftmusik

From music journalist to radio show host, Yohai Mor has been immersed in music for over 20 years. During this time, he has cultivated a distinct musical vision that has earned support from leading names such as Nick Warren and Deep Dish, with releases on respected labels including Univack and Balkan Connection. In this Balance Selections mix, he channels his rich experience into a set rooted in progressive fundamentals: groove and melody. Featuring tracks from Solis, DJ Ruby, Guy J, and more, it's a captivating two-hour journey through emotional dancescapes. @yohai

Rising from Argentina's underground, Analog Jungs are the duo of Claudio Cornejo and Gustavo Ruarte. Since their 2015 debut, they've honed a sound rooted in dance-floor fundamentals, inspired by artists like Cid Inc, Guy J, and Henry Saiz. In 2019, Nick Warren brought them into The Soundgarden fold, while Antrim's Or Two Strangers became a steady home. By 2021, a breakout remix catapulted them into Beatport's progressive top ten. More recently, their Mango Alley streak has delivered an impressive run of productions, highlighted by ‘Solar Symphony': a depth charge of a track that grooves with infectious drive.  In this Balance Selections mix, Analog Jungs stay true to form with another engaging underground outing. Featuring tracks from Patch Park, Fran Garay, EMPHI and much more, this is deep 2 hours of quality progressive that never lurks too far for the shadows. @analog-jungs

Moving from Sri Lanka to Canada, Dimuth K has been quietly shaping a career defined by momentum and mood. His sets are deep and driving, often unfolding into hypnotic territory that lingers long after the lights come up. It's no surprise he's become a fixture at Canada's finest institutions (Coda, Stereo, and History) regularly stepping into booths that have also hosted the artists who shaped his path: Sasha, Eric Prydz, Danny Tenaglia. In the studio, that same forward motion carries through. His productions have landed on Sudbeat, The Soundgarden, and Consequence of Society, labels that champion both emotion and precision. His recent collaboration with Simply City, Resonance on Balance Croatia, underscores his ability to craft moody, powerful tracks that never lose their intimacy. For this Balance Selections mix, Dimuth delivers 80 minutes bristling with underground current. Featuring music from Gespona & Djolee, Zehv, and a series of his own collaborations, it's a statement set from one of the scene's most quietly underrated artists. @dimuth-k

Recording of Mai Lawson's set at Balance Croatia 2025. @mailawson

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. Though his reach is global, the emotional pull is quietly intimate.

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. George's music is both introspective and expansive, tracing a path from his small-town roots in Xanthi to collaborations with the likes of Roy Rosenfeld and Behrouz. 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. Featuring tracks from Volen Sentir, Hermanez, and a healthy dose of his own productions, this is 60 minutes of high-grade progressive dance music. @georgexofficial
