The winner of the inaugural Balance Community Series is Joe Miller from Adelaide in South-Australia. Looking at his tracklisting might make you exhausted as it features a whopping 40 tracks that takes in a lot of different artists and styles. He has created something that is akin to a piece of musical art, and you can hear the thought, effort and time that he has put into this mix to get it right. These type of mixes are usually hard to gel together without sounding like there is no narrative to the mix; Joe happily achieves both as this mix is cohesive and engaging.

"It’s more of an audio collage than a sequential mix, with many of the tracks edited beyond recognition and cheekily poppng up long after their rightful place" Joe explains. "I’ve taken a lot of time and pleasure in hiding secret treasures along the way for the most anorak-donning of trainspotters, including additional synth lines and thorough reworkings of existing chord-structures (listen out for Caribou’s “Irene” as it glides over “Vehemence of Silence”, “Kodomatchi”, and “Deer and Fox”, while the tiniest hints of “Over” and “Blume der Nacht” cut in an out like the needle of an old grandmother’s sewing machine).

The attention to detail in this mix really shines through, and trying to figure out where tracks begin and end is fruitless exercise - just sit back, turn off the lights and enjoy the journey. With Joe taking his first tentative steps into the production world, its only a matter of time before his skills will see him travel outside of Adelaide and Australia. Regardless of profile, this might just be one of the best mixes that we've heard all year. Period.

Hey Everyone! Hope you are doing well. Wanted to share with you my last session recorded Live @ Kumharas in Ibiza. Magical place thats been going on for more than 25 years now. We had the pleasure of experiencing a beautiful sunset, where I could play all my favorite tunes and lucky enough, my father was in the audience. So couldn't be any better. 
Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did, 
Take care and thanks for tuning in.
Big hug,
Sensy.

Live @ Kumharas, Ibiza - Sunset Session

We welcome Dave Samuel a.k.a Seleki for the 103rd edition of the 'Deep In Mix' series.

Shaped by an enduring passion for deep, atmospheric soundscapes, Dave has spent nearly two decades carving his path in electronic music.  In 2006, he was drawn into London’s underground music scene, a world where raw creativity thrived and every set was an unspoken dialogue between artist and audience. It was here that he sharpened his instinctive DJing craft, weaving rhythms that resonated with the city’s restless energy. In 2007, his journey took flight to Australia, where he channelled this momentum into a flourishing presence on the airwaves, intimate club settings, and festival stages across the country.

Seleki’s transition from selector to creator was an organic evolution. By 2013, he was producing Deep Tech and Minimal compositions under his original name, each track a delicate interplay of atmosphere, rhythm, and emotion. But destiny intervened in 2019, when a night at Omnia, Bali, became a moment of artistic rebirth. As Lee Burridge conjured a world of deep, emotive sounds, Seleki felt an unshakable resonance, an unspoken calling to create music that could transport and transform. With renewed vision, he embraced his new moniker, dedicating himself to shaping Organic House that breathes, evolves, and captivates.

Since then, Seleki has built a compelling discography, releasing on esteemed labels such as Canopy Sounds, Keyfound, Be Adult and Flug Lab. His recent signing with Lost Desert’s Souksonic label has further amplified his reach in the global underground scene, marking him as an artist with a truly emotive and distinctive sound. Along the way, he has had the opportunity to support an impressive roster of artists including Tim Green, Volen Sentir, Izhevski, M.O.S, and Double Touch, among many others. His performances are more than sets, they are sonic odysseys guiding listeners through a world of depth and emotion.

With a debut album set for release in 2025, Seleki’s journey is only accelerating. Enjoy the mix!

Deep In Mix 103 with Seleki

A full-pressure slab of underground at 125 BPM: distorted low-end torque, clipped transients, and a neon-green shimmer around a concrete-cold groove. No melody, no warmth—just relentless motion and surgical glitches.

In 2013 Daniel Bortz released his debut album 'Patchwork Memories', an 11-track selection of deep cuts bleeding with melancholy, black keys and nostalgia. Bortz's laser-precision production skills were in full flight here, and his ability to use very little elements to fill out each track is the work of a serious professional. The album was filled with the sort of low-slung house which could easily double up as a downtempo soundtrack to a lazy Sunday afternoon. Look into his back catalogue you will find that his debut album was no anomaly: his discography is loaded with brooding melodies and infectious rhythms. As you can expect, he follows the same route in the club where Bortz tend to favour the cuts which make you feel as much as dance. Of late, the German has been injecting a darker sound into his DJ sets which might come as a surprise to those who know him for his 'deep house', but Perlon is one of his favourite labels, and that influence is definitely starting to become more relevant in his productions. (This should come as no surprise, the back catalogue of his Pastamusik imprint is loaded with his appreciation for the microhouse/minimal techno label) On the verge of an Australian tour (dates at bottom of article), Bortz has delivered the next Balance Selections podcast. It's safe to say that you are in good hands...

Nohan (https://soundcloud.com/nohanmusic) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 064

🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯

This virus was a great opportunity for me. I have had a lot of time to focus better on the deepest part of me and to plan goals I want to achieve with Nohan.

I’m making a very personal music that doesn’t follow the styles that are going at the moment. It is the musical version of myself and expressing myself in this way makes me find a very great satisfaction.

🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯

Lately I am very focused on the live which is the main goal of the project, but the DJ set remains something I love to do and also in this case it is nice to create an environment between dream and reality in which I try to get lost … to find myself.

🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯

I hope that the post-corona will be for all of us a return or a discovery of true happiness, starting from appreciating the things we have and that we take for granted but which ar not at all. The world is a wonderful place that can give us everything we really need.
Often we are constantly looking for useless things that we don’t really like but that we chase without realizing it. The answer was simply this: I want to be happy, make my music and maybe make it my job.
