It was an honour to be included in the Wonderment Festival line up again this year and open for Synkro for a night of deep dubstep.
Other performances that night by west coast legends Rhythmicon, Michael Red and IHA.

I wasn't able to record this live but loved the tunes so much so I recorded a version in the home studio. Some of my fav 140 grooves.

Special shout out and deep thanks to @Entelechy for sharing a few gems I'd been coveting for the set. <3
And to Captured by Quinn for the great photo

Caçadora - WONDERMENT 140

>> facebook.com/BalenciaBeats

Balencia began dipping her toes into the electronic music scene back in the early 90s at progressive house and underground clubs in Ontario, Quebec, and Vancouver, but it wasn’t until 1999 on the beaches of Southeast Asia that she fell into a deep trance. For the past 25 years, she has become known as a gatherer of the people, a purveyor of the party, a dedicated dancefloor fixture, and a collector of magnetic music. Her taste has been influenced heavily by the European progressive festival scene throughout years of adventures in Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, and by times passing through Goa during her long life in India. She is transfixed by the power of lyricless, complex layers and pulsating beats to create hypnotic journeys, expand and elevate human consciousness, unify and connect people from diverse ancestral origins, and contribute to world peace. Her collection spans downtempo, psybient, afro house, deep progressive house, tech house, minimal, deep tech, progressive trance, psychedelic, and more.

The existence of Dodd has long been questioned by those who've not been on his dancefloor -- but those who've been there are fast and thorough believers. From his humble beginnings as a dancefloor observer, Dodd carefully catalogued the sounds and reactions of the people in order to pinpoint the perfect palette of progressive sounds: blending trancey, glitchy, dubby and techy tidbits into memorable dancefloor journeys that transcend sonic expectations. With these dancefloor commandments Dodd has been rocking crowds consistently in Victoria and beyond since 2008. Whether you're a believer or not, with the speakers as his chorus, you will be moved by the voice of Dodd...
