FINGERS GONNA FING

Hi all!

Here is the live recording from my Saturday, 6/25/2022 1:30-2:45pm poolside set at Friends N Family's summer campout. It's always an honor to be selected to DJ at this very special event & so my track selection is not decided lightly. Since it was near 100F and early afternoon, I wanted to go for a light, happy, loving, classic funky house vibe that would mesh well while you're laying on your floaty in the pool. Hopefully that translates when you listen to this mix! Enjoy!

Mike Balance - Spring 2023 DJ Mix

For the past 9 months, I have been training for the 2023 San Francisco Marathon. Throughout that journey, I have done a deep dive in how music plays a role in your running practice.  I have plotted the course map and my running pacing, so I can appropriately create a soundtrack to help me succeed at some of the most challenging aspects.

The 2023 San Francisco Marathon Set

LUSHMODE

Cristoph’s first offering to Truesoul comes in the shape of a two track, tech house delight. Lead track ‘Genesis’ holds a pounding bass line and distorted vocals. The slow but steady build up, alongside the deep synth stabs, creates an intensive groove. ‘Exodus’ comes packed with atmospheric vocals and funky percussion. The two tracks together create an emotive and fast paced release – one not to be missed.

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!
