Zero Tolerance Sessions 002 - Gab Oliver

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.

25 Years of Balance Series Anniversary Retrospective mixed by Joe Miller

Long associated with the deep, dark, and the hypnotic, Dutch duo Patch Park has impressed with a string of impressive releases on their own imprint, District, alongside labels like Meanwhile Recordings and Vapour Recordings. 

For this Balance Selections mix, the duo turns down the lights for a dense, heads-down session. Featuring tracks from Sean Harvey, Maxi Degrassi, and a slew of Patch Park productions, it’s a deep dive into the more hypnotic corners of progressive.

My live recording from Sanctuary Weekender!

This is an amazing event ran by some legendary friends Thad Lester & Leigh Lester held in the middle of the Otway's forest - my favourite place in the world. It's a school camp style eco retreat surrounded by beautiful Aussie bush scenery. Inside the barn is possibly the lushest most welcoming dancefloor/soundsystem i've played on! Funktion-One sound, about 15 couches to choose from, 2 incredible fireplaces + the best group of people who love to dance, it really made this winter weekender such an amazing experience.

I was on early in the festival so I went with a nice groovy warm up style set to welcome in the weekend. It was so awesome seeing my friends and new faces fill the room for the first time while playing on the Friday night 🙂

New ID from Paul Fakos and myself in there too starting at 42:40!

Enjoy 🔊❤️

Chris Fortier's opening set before John Digweed was nothing short of magical at the famed night club The Church in Denver. His masterful track selection is timeless and will be enjoyed for years to come. We were honored to have this legend play for us.
