Mike Balance: A Visionary with a Legacy

Mike's musical palette is a vibrant fusion of Tech, Funky, and Bass House - a sonic tapestry that has resonated across countless nightclubs, festivals, and home stereos.

Born and raised in the dynamic landscape of Houston, TX, Mike found his calling in the pulsating beats of electronic music. After moving to Idaho in the early '90s, he planted the seeds of the rave movement in Boise, where he became known for his unique Funky Jackin' Tech House sound & original productions.

InStereo Recordings and Beyond

The journey westward led Mike Balance to the heart of the electronic music hub – Los Angeles, CA. Here, he became an integral part of InStereo Recordings, joining forces with the legendary DJ Dan to manage the label for nearly a decade. Their collaborative efforts will go down as some of the best high-powered Funky House that's ever come out of the west coast!

A Discography of Triumphs

Mike's discography has earned him a well-deserved place among some of House music's best sonic engineers & beat scientists. Today, Mike remains dedicated to perfecting the art of hot jams and in recent years he's had high-charting releases on Beatport spanning the realms of Tech House, Funky House, and Breaks. Join Mike Balance on his neverending quest to live in a world where tech bangers & good times reign supreme!

I love music I'm a dancer and closet dj and now I'm I'm a song writer I don't sing these songs but I've write. everyone of these songs if I ever get paid for them that would be amazing but not expected they all come from the heart and usually about my own experiences
