Shaun J Wright & Madison Moore, two long-time friends, made their b2b debut at Balance in April 2022. Shaun opened our first Balance party in September 2019 and created a funky and insidious atmosphere that laid an unforgettable foundation for the night, so it was a no-brainer to invite them back for something special with Madison. A favorite of the American queer techno underground, Madison's sound compliments Shauns, pushing forward with bold, ethereal momentum.  Thank you Shaun and Madison!

LA’s Truncate @truncate headlined our April party. Since starting in 2010, Truncate has focused on stripped back, rugged takes on techno with a sly twist. Eschewing flash and fuss, Truncate delivers the goods with an audible sense of focus; you can practically hear him working a bevy of hardware drum machines and synthesizers as the tracks develop. From his debut EP “Contrasts” to last year’s “DTW 2 LAX” on esteemed Belgian imprint Token, Truncate has remained an unwavering, true school producer’s producer and a major presence in the underground. Here's his full 3 hour set from April 2022.

Volvox and Juana went b2b for the first time at July's summer Balance and the results were fantastically fierce.

This recording drops you 15 mins into their 2 hour b2b set from an all around unforgettable night at BASEMENT. Balance will return Nov 11 ... @volvox @thatjuana
