DJ Dan & Mike Balance - Stand For This

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!

Spinning the harder side of House, Electro, Breaks, Midtempo & Hip Hop in the 716 since 98'

Colombian born American raised house music junkie is who I am. Love this sound since the disco days of the late 70's and early 80's. Dancing to solid gold on tv and growing up with the electronic snyth pop european sound of the Flock of Seagulls, The Cure, OMD, and The Cure that totally inspired my musical taste of now. What really changed my views of the whole electronic sound was the Grateful Dead. I was the biggest hippy with the long hair and going to mad Phish and Dead concerts that made me marvel at the fact that they would play one song and blend another song during jam sessions. My room mate was from Britain and had mad rave flyers on the wall and would blast Trance Europe Express all day all night. I told him about my marvel of the jam bands blending and then a couple of hits of E later and this kid was on a prowl to feel that first love affair of techno and E. Many years later until my purchase of Technics 1200 and a cheesy Numark mixer and I was set to be the best Dj I could be.
