Don't Look Back

Speranza EP

The Chant

In 2006, when the borders of progressive house were starting to blur and music started melting into the digital sphere, Balance 010 arrived with almost monastic ambition.

Disc 2 is the heart of Balance 010, the warm midtempo arc that gives the entire three-disc structure its emotional weight. It rises slowly from ambient drift into soft breakbeats, glides through Cocteau Twins shimmer and Speedy J tension, and lands in that hypnotic space where Boards of Canada, Ellen Allien, Aphex Twin and Underworld all feel like parts of the same world. 

Critics consistently pointed to this disc as the most replayable, the most cinematic, the place where Jimmy’s instinct for mood and narrative became unmistakable. It moves without forcing momentum, deepens without darkening, and closes on a fourteen-minute Underworld remix that turns the whole project into a pilgrimage. 

If Balance 10 has a centre of gravity, Disc 2 is it.

Ritual Show with John Ov3rblast is a monthly podcast built as a deep-listening journey: a cinematic blend of Progressive House, Deep Techno, Progressive Techno, Peak-Time Techno, and Ambient / Soundtrack atmospheres. Each episode moves like a ritual—starting in spacious ambience, rising into hypnotic grooves and evolving melodies, then landing back into calm, reflective space.

Exclusive unreleased personal works, strictly.

December’s edition is designed for the turning of the season: warm low-end, long reverbs, and slow-building tension that opens into driving energy—without losing the sense of depth. Expect rolling progressions, textured drums, emotional chord movement, and soundtrack-like interludes that feel like walking through winter streets at night: focused, meditative, and alive.

Press play, step inside, and let the time and space reset through sound.
