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.

Four Candles - Live @ La Biblioteca, Buenos Aires (18 Apr 25)

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.

Balance Croatia 025: Gustin

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.

Keep Thinking w/Four Candles - Ep. 091

I'm thrilled to share the recording of my opening set for Hernan Cattaneo this past Friday on June 13th. Hernan has been playing my music in his sets for some time now—the very first promo I ever sent him was a bootleg of 'The System' by Inertia. Since then, he's played several of my tracks numerous times across different parts of the world and on his radio show - Resident.

As a DJ, the art of opening up a room is very special to me. I always pour a lot of thought and passion into my opening sets, understanding that it's far more than just track selection. It's about genuinely connecting with the environment and the evolving energy of the crowd, without fatiguing people's ears.

In the past couple of years, Hernan has trusted me to warm up the decks before him. This set was especially significant for me because I was able to build the atmosphere deeper, increase the energy slightly and mellowing it down before handing the decks off to him to a crowd that was ready to dance.

Due to logistical reasons when the boat was docked, the music had to be turned down while the boat was embarking - recording split in two as a result

Hope you enjoy. Until next time ;)
