Luis Damora is a key figure in the Spanish electronic scene. Influenced by music from a young age, he began DJing at 16 and soon became a resident at top Madrid clubs like Circus and Space of Sound. Seeking fresh inspiration, he spent years in Miami and London before returning to Spain with a refined style, leading to releases on labels like Sudbeat and Armada, as well as remixes for artists such as Wally Lopez and Chris Cargo. His recent Lose Kontrol EP, a collaboration with Nila on Balance Music, showcases his continued push for innovation in progressive house.

In this Balance Selections mix, the Spaniard blends deep, mesmerizing tech with lush progressive overtones. Featuring tracks from Alex O’Rion, Gai Barone, Eichenbaum and more, this 90-minute journey is equal parts entrancing and infectious.

INCOMING : Modern Friend - Someone’s Gotta Save Us (Andy Toth Remix) #Permaculture

Release date : 31/10/2025
BUY : https://perma.ffm.to/sgsurmx_

Modern Friend are a Montreal, Canada-based duo consisting of Voytek Korab (formerly of My Favorite Robot) and Kosta Megalos (formerly of Flowers and Sea Creatures). The new project dives back into each of their early influences of post-punk and synthwave sounds which were musical movements that heavily influenced their formative years.

Having been greatly involved in the underground electronic music scene for many years, this is their first foray into the type of music that they always wanted to write. “Someone’s Gotta Save Us” is a post-punk electronica number, all-encompassing of the times we are in.

Andy Toth, co-founder and former member of the Detroit Grand Pubahs remixes the track and flips it into an electro stomper. Korab’s smooth vocals get turned into a robotic twitchy funk, the guitars become replaced with acid-tinged synths, and an overall thump is added to the drums to make it ready for the clubs. Pure, aural filth with this remix in the absolute best of ways.

The Andy Toth remix of Modern Friend’s “Someone’s Gotta Save Us” is released October 31st, 2025 on Permaculture.
