Following standout releases from Pintai label boss Hame and Project Indigo co-founder Boaksi, Brussels-based selector Lola Haro brings @dj-balduin on board for the third EP from her carefully curated label, @small-steps-722755701.

Described as an attempt to "capture the fleeting moment of the light meeting the dark," 'Everything' embodies the essence of deep house across its three tracks. The EP opens with radiant synths, moves into playful drum work on the second track, and culminates in a poignant, emotionally charged closer. Among the three, 'Andever' shines brightest.

DJ Balduin - Andever [Small Steps]

She was all that he'd ever dreamed of, a perfect picture in his mind, a vision in red dancing amongst the skies. You never quite knew when one day you might stumble upon her, for she might be lurking just around the next corner or in the glimpse of a window passing quickly by. 

Things come and go so quickly in this life. You could be anyone, perhaps.

Yet still, the same face continued to dance up there, smiling down, enticing him onwards through the weight of the morning fog.

Dj Balduin is set to release a new EP on Lola Haro's record label Small Steps. The record is a dreamy, ethereal affair which sits within the realms of melodic House and Breaks. Perfect for those cold January mornings.

A standout cut from the Ballroom Records catalogue, Soda by Awantalyst is now featured in TEN: The Archive Series, Pt. 5 — a chapter celebrating the more melodic and house-driven side of our sound.

Defined by warm grooves and emotive atmospheres, the track highlights the refined, melo side of Ballroom’s Melodic House & Techno identity.

Enjoy listening!!!
