The Manchester raised Berlin based Detroit house head steps up to take the reigns this week for us! It's a sublime mix that showcases his penchant for water, jazz + Detroit. Formally known as Black Eyes he has a new EP out on 'Ascension of Wax' featuring a remix by Nico Lahs which is well worth checking out. 
He likes to build deep house vibes with weight. He calls it Hydro-Trip — raw, soulful and slightly tripped-out. It’s patient music. Built for rooms that understand space and time. No theatrics. No rush. Just deep records, properly played. Through his imprint Lost Control 2097 and a seven-year residency with NTS Radio, he refined a sound that stays deep without drifting. More recently, sessions on Balamii Radio extended that reach, keeping things consistent and uncompromising.

Amháin is no stranger to the Balance roster. A student of deep, organic progressive, he walks a fine line between meditation and motion. Joe Miller is the foil: a curious creative tinkerer, extracting maximum juice from every idea he touches. Here they combine their strengths for a dynamic release: lush, euphoric deep progressive that moves with an unbroken current of cosmic energy. As the phrase goes, this is music for the mind, the body, and the soul.

A euphoric collision of vocals and energy.
You & Me in This Sweet Moment blends the emotional pull of “You & Me (Flume – Westend Remix)” with the atmospheric drive of “Sweet Moment” by Snirco.

Two powerful vocal moments intertwine, creating an ethereal clash that floats above fast-moving percussion and rising tension. As the layers build, the track opens into epic drops and driving rhythms that keep the energy locked in.

It’s the kind of track that pulls you into the abyss of sound — melodic, powerful, and made for those moments when the dancefloor is fully locked into the journey.

Built for DJs who want emotion and impact at the same time.

All rights belong to the original artists and labels. This mashup was created to celebrate the original tracks while practicing and sharing the vibe with other DJs.

Are you ready for the ride?
If this takes you to your sweet moment, please like, follow, and comment — always love hearing how these blends feel in your sets.
