Balance presents Dave Seaman & Quivver (CD2) [PREVIEW]

Today marks the 20th year anniversary of Balance 006 mixed by Anthony Pappa. Needless to say, it’s a chapter which holds a special place in the Balance story. 

In the years between Anthony's breakout year in 2000 and his Balance mix in 2004, the progressive scene underwent many transformations—shifting from more trance-y sounds to tribal house rhythms, and dark atmospheres, eventually incorporating melodic progressive breaks. With Anthony’s trademark harmonic mixing on full display, this compilation skilfully captured the evolving landscape and showcased Anthony’s musical range in impeccable style.

With it’s borderline spiritual take on progressive breaks, it still sounds as fresh as it did 20 years ago. For Anthony, it stands out as a unique entry in his discography:   

‘I had never dedicated a full mix to breaks. That was something special.'

If the first mix is the spiritual and centered friend you'll happily introduce to your parents, CD 2 is the kid your parents warned you about—the one who smoked cigarettes at school. It's a devilishly hard mix to deny, an adventurous ride through some of the dankest tech-prog the 2004 circuit had to offer.

Back then, this was the sound of the clubs. "It was that kind of style, you know, the late-night, after-hours vibe, like Twilo," Anthony recalls. The NY club was renowned worldwide for its pristine sound system and pure clubbing experience. "I had a monthly residency there, and the music on mix 2 featured that same kind of intoxicating, immersive vibe."

Balance 006: Anthony Pappa (CD2)

🚨 To commemorate 20 years of Balance 006, Anthony Pappa compiled a special 2 hour mix, a 2024 rendition if you like of his revered Balance entry: one hour of lush prog breaks and one hour of hypnotic 4/4. 🚨

================================================

Few DJs capture the imagination of prog punters like Australia’s Anthony Pappa. Known for his technical proficiency and ability to mix tracks with surgical precision, he is a generational talent who rightfully became a pivotal scene figure.

With a sound rooted in darker, rebellious tones, he fully embodied the underground at a time when the term still held weight.

Achieving what Pappa did requires a life filled with experiences. Given the way social media, marketing, and promotion have transformed the scene, his story is unlikely to be replicated.   

A pivotal part of our story, we dived deep with Anthony Pappa to discuss his career and his peerless Balance 006.

Interview & Tracklist

BALANCE EXTRA: Anthony Pappa (20 years of Balance 006)

‘Venom’ is a progressive tech workout meant for big, main room floors. A heavy, distorted warning siren effect hooks you in while subtle psychedelic flourishes dance around the chaos. The drums feel as thick as granite, and the slight portamento on the bassline keeps you on your toes. Striking with the force of a pit of vipers, this track is a true monster.

I recorded this mix at the Keakie office in London back in 2019. Rediscovering it, I thought it would be a great one to share here. I really liked how it came together, and I hope you enjoy it too.

Kostya Outta, originally from Belarus and now based in Poland, has been plying his trade in progressive house for over a decade. His groovy melodic sound, first established with tracks like High Flyers and Silence, set the stage for his rise, earning him future support from top-tier DJs like Eelke Kleijn, Hernan Cattaneo, and Nick Warren. To date, two of his releases cracked the Top 10 of Beatport’s Progressive House chart, with one landing at #4 (‘Falcon’) - even becoming one of the platform’s Best Sellers of 2022.  

Known for dynamic performances, Kostya has played at major festivals across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, sharing stages with artists like Sander van Doorn and Aly & Fila. With a unique sound he describes as "outta space," Kostya continues to impress with a dependable sound that is hard to deny.   

On this Balance Selections mix he showcases that trained ear for highly contagious melodies and super tight programming. Featuring tracks and remixes from Dmitry Molosh, Digital Mess, Fuenka and a generous selection of Kostya’s own productions, this is a top notch progressive outing from one of Poland’s best

Balance Croatia 008: Henry Saiz

On Eichenbaum’s original, it's all class. ‘Transcender’ is a throwback to the golden days of progressive house with a modern twist. At its heart is a hauntingly beautiful melody—melancholic yet uplifting. Surrounding it, lush trance synths shimmer and crackle, carried by an unyielding rhythm section and a brooding morse code bassline that’s as commanding as a mic drop. This is set to be one of the year’s best. 

Eichenbaum - Transcender (Original Mix) [PREVIEW]

It’s hard to believe that Balance Music has been around for 25 years. When we first started, there was no grand plan—just a love for electronic music and a desire to share it. We never imagined that what began as a small project in Australia would grow into something that reaches people all over the world. 

Later this year, we’ll mark this milestone with a huge venture as we travel to Croatia to host Balance Croatia Festival, the first-ever music festival dedicated to progressive and melodic house. This is going to be a moment 25 years in the making, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Last year, to commemorate the 25 years, close friend of the label and an artist we deeply admire, Joe Miller, curated a countdown of his favourite Balance Series mix and track entries—an effort that showcased his deep connection to the label’s history.

Now, as he prepares to release his new solo EP, Planet is Far Away, through Anjunadeep later this month, Joe has once again taken the time to celebrate 25 years of Balance Music with a mix that is hard to put into words. This incredible retrospective reimagines key moments from past Balance Series compilations, weaving them together in a way that feels both fresh and deeply familiar. 

We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane as much as we do.

Greek producer George X makes his Balance Music debut with a three-track EP, including one collaboration with Brazilian duo Anonimat, that doesn’t hold back on the heat. Across three tracks, he delivers a masterclass in deep, main-room dynamics—perfect for any DJ looking to elevate the energy.

Losing yourself in 'Uncensored Feeling' is inevitable. A rolling George X bassline pulls you in like gravity, while exquisite guitar and piano samples lend an introspective yet almost uplifting glow. As the breakdown unfolds, minor pads cast a moody haze, while rising, synthesized keys simmer beneath the surface—gathering momentum before surging into a powerful, euphoric drop. This is deep, sophisticated music crafted for discerning dancefloors.
