Balance Selections Podcast

For more info: www.balancemusic.com.au @victorruiz For quite a few years now, Victor Ruiz has been known for his high quality productions, which has made him a highly sought after artist in the Techno scene. His “unofficial edits” of classic songs, are a huge part of Victor’s performances, with the most popular being “Breathe” by The Prodigy, “Children” from Robert Miles, “Everything Counts” from Depeche Mode (in collaboration with Thomas Schumacher), and his latest edit of “Teardrop” from Massive Attack. Apart from remixing the biggest names in the electronic music, such as MOBY, Stephan Bodzin, and Dubfire, he has reached the #1 position on the Beatport charts, with his own signature peak time melodic sound. As a result of this success, the Brazilian born Berlin-based producer has been touring all around the world, from big festivals to intimate clubs, and judging by his performances and productions, he injects pure love with everything he does.

At the end of 2017, he received his biggest accolade yet: Pete Tong’s Essential Tune of The Year on BBC Radio One, for the string-fueled, epic end-of-nighter ‘Halcyon’, which was released on Solomun’s acclaimed Diynamic imprint. Dee has also performed several times at Burning Man for Robot Heart, and Carl Cox’s Playground stage, along with massive gigs at Hï with Joris Voorn and Nic Fanciulli in Ibiza. With releases on quality labels such as All Day I Dream, Ajunadeep, and Knee Deep in Sound, the ‘Halcyon’ days are here: and Dee is just getting started.

For more info: www.balancemusic.com.au In just a few years, Josh Butler has firmly established himself as one of house music's most revered talents. Following the unexpected success behind his debut ‘Got A Feeling’ in 2013, Josh soon went on to pick up multiple industry awards from Beatport and DJ Mag, whilst releasing on Cajual, Madtech, VIVa and Noir, to name just a few. Boasting remixes for Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, and Joris Voorn, warming up for the multi-grammy award winning Nile Rodgers and Chic, and EPs on Rejected, Defected, Poker Flat, and 8Bit, it’s easy to see why his diary has seen him tour the globe. This includes numerous Ibiza residencies and festival sets including Glastonbury, SW4, Defected Croatia, and Parklife, and now he is set for his annual return to Australia and New Zealand in early 2020… It’s clear to see that Josh Butler is showing no signs of slowing down.

Both as a DJ, and a producer, Sidney favours rough, dirty sounds that defined the old school pioneers, but, with a modern, full, and punchy approach, and with this style, has seen him play numerous times at DC10 Circo Loco, and Do Not Sleep events. His signature releases ‘House Lessons’, and ‘Warehouse Romance’ established his heavy house sound early on, and since then, the artist has released irresistible rhythms on key labels such as Truesoul, Hot Creations, and Saved. His upfront, dark, hard hitting take on house will definitely make you move, and this mix for Balance Selections is no exception… For more info: www.balancemusic.com.au
