Craft - ClubbersGuideNewYork Guestmix (March 2016)

Our latest First Play is a new track from Crazylegs and Local Talk alumni, Tommy Rawson. The aptly titled ‘Piano Pleasure’ is Rawson’s contribution to a new four track EP on Red Rack’em’s label, Smugglers Inn.

Rawson uses afrobeat-inspired percussion as the foundation for the track, while filtered vocals drift atop the beat and pianos glisten in the distance like a mirage on an oppressively hot day. In the latter half of the piece, a muted acid line provides weight underneath, adding a late night suitability to the production.

Release Date: 04/04/16

Dutch rising star Mirella Kroes has been closely affeliated with BALANS for many years. She plays our events on regular basis, because well.. we are fans! It makes us happy that she is getting full recognition in Holland lately for her deep, hypnotic, dark techno sound. With gigs at Awakenings Festival, WTTF festival the future looks contrastingly bright. She delivered a fantastic deep mix for our series, enjoy!

Here's what she had to say to us:

1.What is your relationship with Balans?

I met Darko seven years ago (i think?) in Doornroosje. Over the last couple of years we have become really close friends.

2.What do you do to try and stay in balance? Any tips & secrets you  
would like to share with us night folks?

Juicing! Plus working out two times a week in a 60 degree cabin. I try to eat mostly organic and get a regular sleeping pattern during the week. 

3.About the podcast, can you tell us the story behind the mix?

There's not really a story, it's a mix of some new, old and in betweens. It's definitely a reflection of the more deeper side of things. 

4.What gear did you use to make the Balans podcast?

Two CDJ's and a A&H mixer.

5.What do you have in store for us (gigs/releases) the coming months?

Something i'm very excited about is my debut at Awakenings Festival and the opening spot at the techno area of Welcome to the Future Festival. I'm also really looking forward to Balans at the Melkweg 12th of july. 

BALANS030 - Mirella Kroes

As a producer, DJ & label owner Cosmin Nicolae’s dedication to developing a rich and wholly personal artistic landscape provides the driving force behind one of dance music’s most unique & industrious individuals.

Opening the door on Hessle Audio over a decade ago - an outlet that has gone on to become a defining voice within electronic music in the 21st Century, Nicolae’s list of affiliations reads like a who’s who of top tier contemporary dance music record labels. Appearances on Amsterdam’s Rush Hour and Gerd Janson’s Running Back, as well as a brace of singles alongside LP’s Gordian and Simulat on the now defunct 50 Weapons - not to mention work for Semantica and Bleep, have cemented Cosmin TRG deep in the psyche of the ever shifting amoeba that is the dance music zeitgeist.

In many ways, what lies at the heart of Nicolae’s work - beyond the extraordinary pairing of high end sound design and club functionality, is an innate ability to bind his discography - to create a streamlined sonic vision without compromise, one that moves with purpose and vigour outwards to explore in depth structures that exist on the very periphery of House & Techno, Ambient & experimental electronics - but maintain a unique and recognisable finish. Few artists could boast a discography that marries 2016’s ubiquitous In Your Body, an anthemic spoken- word-meets-Tool-Techno leviathan released via Nicolae’s own club-focused Sportiv outlet, with Semnal - a gloriously executed LP of shifting, otherworldly Experimental music delivered under the artist’s given name via the Opal Tapes label.

Cult concept missive Hope This Finds You Well, Nicolae’s 2019 reflection on corporate culture furthers this same dichotomy - a stunning wide-angle Ambient LP on Fizic - the label operated by the artist as a home to more conceptual iterations, that followed hot on the footsteps of a remix for Bpitch founder Ellen Alien & the fourth instalment on Sportiv - both offerings heady club constructions in their own right.

On the road, both DJ sets and live performances mirror this healthy sentiment - with Nicolae as comfortable on main stages showcasing his take on hyper-modern propulsive Techno, as he is presenting the low slung avant-garde preoccupations of his more leftfield alias’. There’s the constant feeling that both these practices feed back into one another, and that from each respective vantage point, Cosmin TRG is able to make the kind of dynamic & intuitive artistic decisions that few can - keeping his work fresh & current without concession - ceding to his own desire to further his vision as a creator of sonic abstraction without losing sight of the dance floor.
