For the next Forensic release we bring you the unstoppable Micah. With recent releases on Selador, Global Underground and Balance we're sure he needs no introduction.

Proving Grounds with its soundtrackesque piano lifts and driving percussion will surely find it's way into the sets of the more enlightened.

Canopus , a rock solid progressive cut is already finding favour with Anthony Pappa with its Eastern synth lines and blissful drop.

We welcome back to the label Stelious Vassilioudis, who delivers a banger of a retake on Canopus. The Bedrock stalwart who also shares label inclusions with Selador and Balance skilfully reconstructs Micahs original with thumping beats and a masterful arrangement.

We hope you dig it as much us we do.

ANDERMATT LEXICON AVE MIX

By the early 2000s, when much of the electronic world was chasing trance highs and vocal hooks, Moshic Shlomi—known mononymously as Moshic—was charting a darker path. His take on progressive house was not just brooding; it was cinematic, steeped in tension, mood, and layered melancholy.

Releasing early work as Argonout, Moshic made his mark with tracks on Cyber Records and appearances on compilations from Global Underground to In Search of Sunrise, showcasing a sound both atmospheric and emotionally rich. Now leading his own label, Contrast, he continues to explore the space between light and shadow, with recent productions finding a home on imprints like Bedrock and Bonzai Progressive.

His Balance Selections mix delivers on the promise of the label’s name: a carefully curated journey of contrasts that never loses its introspective core. Featuring tracks from N-TCHBL, Stereo Underground, and Moshic himself, the mix isn’t afraid to drift into the melancholic edges of progressive house.

TRACKLIST & INTERVIEW

Cortona, the alias of UK/Italy-based producer Enzo, channels decades of eclectic listening into atmospheric, groove-heavy club tracks. A formative night seeing Primal Scream with Andrew Weatherall lit the fuse for his dive into electronic music, eventually leading him to become a founding proponent of Plastic Fantastic—one of the scene’s most influential progressive house labels. That legacy pulses through Cortona’s work, with his recent releases finding homes on imprints ranging from Bedrock to Music To Die For.

On this Balance Selections, Cortona balances analog nostalgia with modern fluidity. Featuring tracks from Mike Rish, Jamie Stevens, and Hermanez, this nearly three-hour mix leans into nocturnal energy to deliver a vintage progressive punch, weaving deep builds and emotive peaks into a seamless late-night journey.

Dave Walker - June 25

Since the pandemic, Glasgow has been carving out a fresh identity in the progressive scene through Skyline — a monthly rooftop gathering that’s become a ritual for fans of deep, melodic sound. Helmed by Graham Chalmers aka Twilo, the party pairs high-calibre lineups with five-star comfort, earning rare goodwill from artists and punters alike.

It’s no surprise Skyline felt like the perfect fit as a brand partner for Balance Croatia. With the countdown underway to our sold-out debut, the timing was right to shine a light on the man behind the movement — and invite him to showcase his musical chops alongside longtime partner-in-sound and fellow Skyline resident, Andy Newland.

What they delivered is a four-hour excursion packed with progressive heat and nostalgic undertones. Featuring tracks from Nicolas Rada, Ezequiel Arias, Gai Barone and more, it’s a delicious taste of what’s to come this August.

Paula OS is a Chilean-born, Argentina-based producer, singer, and DJ crafting atmospherically rich electronica influenced by acts like Radiohead, Portishead, and Björk. She launched her solo live project in 2017—dreamy vocals with hypnotic textures—which eventually led to a collaboration with Hernán Cattáneo and Soundexile on Renaissance: the alluring ‘Harvest’ EP. Earlier this year, she founded her own label, Sopor Music, kicking things off with ‘Image’, a solo six-track album coded with electronica and emotional hues.

On this Balance Selections mix, Paula OS delivers a dynamic take on progressive, filled with cerebral moments and pure dancefloor diesel. Featuring tracks from Stimming, Analog Jungs, Stereo Underground & D-Nox, this tightly programmed session shows she's transmitting a unique frequency that's becoming increasingly hard to ignore.
