Dj Balduin - Everything (STEPS-003)

A Major Problem

DJ Balduin - Everything EP [Small Steps]

'With measured urgency, Praise builds from a single note and a careful kick, growing to cumulonimbus heights. Shreds of prophe2c lyrics echo and flash, stoking an2cipa2on, breaking into dazzled trance-like moments. A track like a long, soaring flight, it is focused and aFen2ve, thick with controlled electricity. Semara’s voice is a counterpoint of calm strength.

Shards of broken glass seem to flicker over the 2ght wobble of this introspec2ve track. Synths burn hard as truth through the depths, with vocals like a sour peach on the tongue: fuzzed yet bright, a searing edge hazed in sweetness. Ideal is a tough realiza2on skewered into a techno stride.

Agatha Pher recasts Praise with a punchy beat, drawing wild forms from the spare density of the original. Melodies open up like a concer2na, and 2ghtly bent synths add swerving embellishments to Semara’s arrangement. This angular remix keeps the mood but warps the shape, the lyrics dis2lled, spun with snares and a deeper house thump.
D-Nox & Beckers deliver a melodic, clubbier take on Ideal. This version leans into the focused pump of the drum, its arpeggios bubbling from the outset, sparingly punctuated with vocals. With a rich buildup of claps and jangles, bleeps and bloops, this dancefloor-shaped remix conjures crowds and distorted bright lights.'

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]

The third release on Lola Haro’s Small Steps label from Belgium sees German producer DJ Balduin step up with a contribution that embodies the label's sound. Known for his intricate, warm house basslines, clever loops, and breaks, DJ Balduin delivers a three-track EP, Everything, capturing the fleeting magic when light meets dark. Out on Valentine’s Day, 14th February, the release includes the track Somar and will be available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp.

The EP is all about mood and movement. In Somar, DJ Balduin plays with a mixture of rising and melancholic pads, including distant bird chatter and playful loops. A punchy beginning, the tracks mellow into moments of bliss, offering warmth throughout. The interplay of light and dark is palpable and emotive, evoking euphoria reminiscent of sunrise sets at festivals—those moments that shift the tempo and prepare us for another day of dancing.

Small Steps and DJ Balduin captures these intangible moments with its sound: the eye contact on the dancefloor, subtle smiles, and the pull of the kick drum as we sway.

Everything

PREMIERE: DJ Balduin - Somar [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.

Mari Posa - Royaume A Stockholm (Mike Simonetti Remix)

One of the top drummers in the Israeli scene, Tel-Aviv based songwriter and producer BĘÃTFÓØT launches his solo project with the powerful new EP De Vibez, a fanciful gutter-glam cross between stoner-acid-pop and 90’s-garage-punk.

Side A contains some stunning originals alongside a surprising cover of a melancholic oldie by the legendary german singer Nico.
Side B be the remixes: the first, a colorful club-driven remix by Garzen Records head honchos & electronic duo Red Axes, followed by a groovy down tempo drone version by the mesmerizing Smagghe & Cross.
