Wir freuen uns, euch mit dem neuen quartal eines unserer neuesten Mitglieder vorstellen zu dürfen:

Balanca !

"Balanca" ist ein Berliner DJ, Produzent und Co-Founder von The Voice Inside. Inspiriert vom Loop-Techno der 2000er Jahre begann er seine musikalische Reise mit Vinyl, bevor er sich im Zuge der Digitalisierung zunächst CDs und schließlich dem digitalen Auflegen widmete.

Sein Sound war schon immer eher deep und hat sich über die Jahre hin zu hypnotischem Techno entwickelt. Dies führte 2022 zur Entstehung seines Alias "Balanca".
Kurz darauf kreuzten sich seine Wege mit dem Kollektiv hinter quartal., sie waren der Überzeugung daß er fester Bestandteil dieses musikalischen Kreises sein sollte.
Nun können wir ihn herzlich willkommen heißen in unserer kleinen Familie.

We are delighted to introduce one of our newest members with the new quartal. :

Balanca!

"Balanca" is a Berlin-based DJ, producer, and co-founder of The Voice Inside. Inspired by the loop-techno of the 2000s, he began his musical journey with vinyl before transitioning to CDs and eventually embracing digital DJing as technology evolved.

His sound always rather deep and has developed over the years into hypnotic techno. This evolution led to the creation of his alias "Balanca" in 2022.

Shortly thereafter, his path crossed with the collective behind quartal., who strongly believed that he should be an integral part of this musical circle.

Now, we are thrilled to officially welcome him into our small family!

Eliana Giraldo aka Elyan X. is a Colombian artist living in Pereira city. 
She starts her musical career at a very young age. being member of 
musical bands in which her skills at percussion and melodies, 
made her curious about exploring further. In mid-2014, she fell 
in love with electronic music. premiering at one of the local 
stages of her city, where house was the main genre. Strong 
influences from the electronic world made her explore genres 
while she found her own style. In that way, she began to display 
as an artist in several cities of the country, being welcomed by the public.
In 2015, she starts to dive into stronger genres such as Techno, 
industrial techno and mental techno. Her attraction to darkness 
as well as bold and raw atmospheres, led her to focus on the search 
for this branch, getting a more defined and specific style.

Wataigarashi, Dj Nobu, Claudio prc.

We really hope you enjoy the selection.

For the fifteenth episode of our podcast series, we are presenting a 75-minute studio recorded mix by hsnbr.

John Harutyunyan, aka hsnbr, is a producer and DJ crafting deep, hypnotic, and psychedelic soundscapes rooted in groove and subtle motion. His music is driven by atmosphere — textured, immersive, and slow-burning — inviting both introspection and dancefloor connection. With releases on Back&forth and Crescent London, hsnbr continues to shape a distinct sonic narrative that moves between shadow and light. This mix captures that vision: patient, trippy, and grounded.

We're very happy to present a 2 hours recording from our label head Hypnotic Black Magic for the 137th episode of our podcast series!

For the past 7 years, HBM has been running the event series, podcast and label Art Bei Ton and we're now celebrating our 7th Anniversary through this set!

For this 2 hours podcast, she re-recorded one of her favourite set from a very special place, where recording were not possible -- never can be as good as the original one with that magic energy of the public and the place, but the vibe is here!

Evolving between hypnotic, deep and psychedelic sounds, HBM is taking us on an uplifting trippy journey, exploring different sonic landscapes from spacial sounds to euphoric tunes. Great set to listen getting ready for the weekend ~

More info about Hypnotic Black Magic:

Hypnotic Black Magic is a Berlin and Lisbon-based DJ and producer, renowned for her trippy and uplifting sets that take audiences on euphoric journeys.
She is also the head behind the well-established label and event series Art Bei Ton, shaping since 2018 her vision of the scene through hypnotic sounds, psychedelic visuals and gender-balanced line ups.

Inspired by nostalgic and avant-garde electronic sounds since her early teenage years, HBM has developed her music taste around hypnotic techno, atmospheric ambient, psychedelic sounds and IDM/tribe. Collecting tracks with a preference for loopy patterns, dreamy pads, groovy rhythms, and trancey basslines, HBM’s goal is to drive the audience through a cathartic journey - 

On the production side, Hypnotic Black Magic released her EP ‘Passages’ on Art Bei ton in Feb 2025, as well as some tracks on some VAs. She's currently working on her first album, planned for March 2026!

We’re very happy to present a 1.5 hour recording from Igadi for the 138th episode of our podcast series!
For this set, Igadi has crafted an introspective sequence that moves from textural into deep soundscapes, seamlessly blending between broken and straight rhythms.

More info about Igadi:
Berlin-based artist Igadi crafts immersive soundscapes shaped by a deep sense of rhythm. He first started playing during university, but it was while living in Australia and developing his format through extended sets that his style truly took form. These experiences taught him to explore the balance between structure and unpredictability.
With an organic, intuitive mixing style, Igadi focuses on guiding the energy of the room. His philosophy reflects a belief that music should inspire engagement. Each set and production aims to create space for deep listening while keeping things moving.
Adaptable across contexts, Igadi moves between high-intensity moments and deep introspection, always maintaining a flow.
