Sorin Simon has always been attracted to music and it all started in his childhood home of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, where he took piano lessons while still in school. The passion for music only grew as the years went by and as he started to go to different festivals, Sorin decided it was time for him to become a Dj.
So, in 2006, he got himself some musical equipment and started learning the tricks all by himself and inspired by a:rpia:r crew at that time.
That same year, he started playing music at some private parties for friends and small crowds. Slowly, he was learning the craft and by the time he moved in Jersey, in the Channel Islands in the UK, he was ready for the big stuff. Soon enough, he was resident at one of the top clubs in the city.
Time went by and in 2017 Sorin moved definitively to London where he started playing different underground events all around London. A year later, he signed to Vivus Records, an underground/independent and vinyl-only label from South Germany. Sorin has played at multiple festivals both in Romania and abroad such as Monegros Desert Festival, Sonar Off in Spain, Back To The Wild and Electric Castle in Romania.
As a producer, Sorin Simon’s dark and trippy soundscapes are reminiscent of the Romanian underground scene and his first track, O dimineață târzie, remains an unreleased jam, that has nonetheless over 150k views on YouTube. Since then, he released two EPs – Ecouri Paralele at Other Thoughts Records and the track Fragmente on the VA03 released by Vivus Records.
Sharing the decks with some well-known Dj’s like Janeret,Crihan,Cap,Mihigh, RQZ,Cosmjn,Illan Nicciani,Triptil,Bryz,Bexu,Little Hado,Prajescu,Maher Daniel just to name few of them.
Sorin aims to give the public the same lovely feeling he has when he encounters quality music and his mesmerizing and deep-dark minimal microhouse does just that. His goal was never to be a people pleaser, but to please the right people.

DBKA064 - Dubphone

Hari on his real name Patrascu Hariton, born in Dracula's homeland in the mountains of Transylvania ,has his first contact with music early in his childhood when he started breakdancing and founded a crew .During his fifteen years of breakdancing he felt very inspired by Afrika Bambaataa music , James Brown, Dj Shadow and many others.
   The dj-ing career started as a hobby in 2007 playing Deep House and Tech House tunes at several private parties and small bars and clubs in his hometown, Alba Iulia. His passion for underground house music became more than a hobby in 2010, when he was asked to become a resident Dj at a local underground club named EXIT, along with his friend, Zarafu, they started playing together under the name of AudioMUTZ. Their music could be heard at several underground clubs and public radios in Transilvania, Romania such as Raum Club and Dot after-hours Club in Cluj Napoca, and the list goes on and on.

► Release Info:

HAFT, the Iranian duo of Sam Nasehi and Amir Subb, are known for fusing hypnotic synths, deep- rooted pads, and intricate percussion into a sound that bridges traditional textures with modern progressive house. Their debut three-track EP on Balance Music delivers a journey filled with psychedelic undercurrents and shimmering atmospheres that is crafted equally for the dance floor and for deep listening.

The brooding ‘Driftor’ is designed to nudge any DJ set in the right direction. An off-beat bass drives the engine, allowing you to comfortably sit in the pocket of its inviting narrative. Steely drums and percussion form a cohesive frame, while a bag of tasteful effects, samples, and stabs fill the remaining spaces. Once the breakdown hits, in all its subtlety, you know you’re in the hands of professionals. This is essential prog, designed for any occasion.

There is an undercurrent of psychedelia running through ‘Myntal’, hypnotic and consuming. Low- end frequencies double as notes, merging with the bass to create a dizzying effect. Its main-room identity, however, is confirmed by drums that strut forward with propulsive energy. It all points towards a seductive breakdown, its layering teasing a drop that confirms it: this is designed for floors ready to ignite.

Filled with depth, ‘Prism’ shimmers and shakes as synths and stabs perpetually morph. The result is a continuous stream of sonic moments to lose yourself in. Thankfully, the dense bassline and drums bring you back from the edge of hypnosis, filling the space with an elastic energy as buoyant as a trampoline. Then comes the breakdown: bells dissolve into minor-key haze, half beautiful, half surreal: an inviting dream-logic that is hard to deny. 

PREMIERE: HAFT - Driftor (Original Mix) [BALANCE MUSIC]

Michael Jackson - Thriller (Black Coffee Remix) (SNIPPET)

As the alias advances through episode 251, a dreamy, hypnotic sound flows throughout the mix.

The artist combines groovy, cosmic elements with floaty textures and melodies to create this perfect adventure. Lock in and enjoy the grainy sound.

Featuring music from Silat Beksi, Jeremy Weeks, Swoy, Salmanazar, Monteki, Janeret and various others.
