Our seventh guest @Balancing-unit places aesthetics at the centre of his musical idea, as an essential pillar of a melodic concept of avant-garde and rationalism. 
A deep set that animates the hidden parts of Techno music.

First and foremost comes aesthetic. Balancing Unit, a researcher of pure artistic forms which can give freedom to diverse needs of self expression.

Music and visual arts constitute the pillars for the constant seek of a balancing point, the fulcrum. The sonic architectures of his productions and dj performances set the scenery for this inner research, leaning towards a spiritual and meditative approach when conceiving his narratives.

Born on 1983. Starts djing in 1999 mixing underground rap records and due to this first love he gets a strong curiosity to deepen his culture about black music, extending his passion to funk, soul and jazz. From here he falls in love with electronic grooves and since the 2000's the roundness of house music and the rough textures of techno contribute equally to balance his artistic personality. 

Under his alias Cruel Sushi he releases in 2014 his first vinyls on State Of Grace, independent label founded together with a close circle of friends.
