Brilliant start to the set by Mir.. continuing hearing the warm up full of quality goodness

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.

TRACKLIST & INTERVIEW

Balance Selections 330: Andy Newland b2b Twilo (Skyline)

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 ;)

BALANCE CROATIA

Sarah Chilanti is steadily making her mark in progressive house, combining subtle vocals with deep, melodic production that has caught the attention of artists like Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, and Nick Warren.

With releases on labels such as Or Two Strangers, Manual Music, and Plattenbank, her sound continues to resonate on and off the dance floor. In her local Brazil, she’s performed at venues including D-Edge, Green Valley, and River Club, where her thoughtful approach to DJing is earning growing recognition.

On this Balance Selections mix, the Brazilian artist showcase why that recognition is so warranted. Featuring track from Ric Niels, Kamilo Sanclemente and Matter, this charts a course from deep house to deep prog with the ease of a twenty-year veteran.

So I had my first ever headline set at Skyline this past weekend, and I learned what it really means to be a DJ. Now, I'll never be a DJ like John Digweed, who can create this whole vortex of sound, and while all the craziness is going on, he's just standing at the center of the eye of the storm, eyes on his mixer, in complete control. How I DJ is completely different. I like to bring my passion for this music, I like to bring my enthusiasm for this music into the DJ booth. 

Because how I create a connection with the dancefloor, and that's what DJing to me is really all about, creating a connection with the dancefloor. How I do that is I hope the clubbers on the dancefloor can see a little bit of themselves in me. They can say, hey, just like this guy is enthusiastic and passionate about the music, I'm just as enthusiastic and passionate myself. If he can do it, I can do it. 

So in the words of Danny Tenaglia, just be yourself. As much as DJing is a skill set, it's also a mindset. You have it in you to go and achieve your dreams. Just go out and do it. Let's go.

Fragments [Minimal Groove Concept]

State Of The Art

> @pango-bauer
> @pintai

Pintai returns with its third release, coming courtesy of Switzerland based artist, Pango, in the shape of the ‘Helio’ EP.

Pango’s new release delves into deep, layered emotions—evoking mystery, wonder, and awe. Each track is a careful exploration of contrast: raw textures meet refined sound design, while contrasting sonic elements interlock to create immersive, textured soundscapes. Intricate, organic percussion anchors the compositions with a sense of momentum, driving the music forward with rhythm as detailed as it is dynamic.
The result is a collection that feels both exploratory and intentional—offering moments of tension, release and immersion.

Opening the release is title-track ‘Helio’, a dropped tempo journey drifting through hazy textural tones, an organic rhythm section, fluttering resonant synth tones and cossetting low-end swells all subtly nuanced throughout. ‘Christilist’ follows and picks up the tempo while stripping things down rhythmically to raw, reduced drums while an amalgamation of dubbed out stab sequences and weight subs dynamically wind through the hypnotic groove.

‘Faehtar’ opens the B-side next with bumpy bass hits and crisp, saturated percussion running alongside unfurling, cinematic strings and airy chords. ‘Wardal’ then concludes the release, diving deep via choppy bass notes, jazzy keys, intricately bubbling synth melodies and a bouncy drum groove.

PREMIERE: Pango - Faehtar [PIN003]
