As featured on....

It's an honour for us to have worked on the first Zero Tolerance Sessions 001.  

Our concept behind the mix was simple - we wanted to pay respects to those who built the foundations of the uncompromising deep and dark ZT sound before us, and who put Melbourne progressive house on the world map. We also wanted to showcase a group of current artists that we feel represents the present and future ZT sound.

Included in this mix are three original records, and four remixes that we have completed that will be coming out on Zero Tolerance later this year, as well as lots of unreleased tracks + re-edits.  If you've followed Zero Tolerance over the years you're in for a rollercoaster ride.

A tracklist will be available at a later date ,as we would love you to listen without any pre-conceptions and to maintain an element of surprise.  Feel free to comment and let us know what you think or if you'd like any Track ID's.

Sound Avenue With Madloch 083 (October 2022)

Hello, g'day and welcome! So happy you can join us for a wee whizz around Planet Prog again on this wicked Wednesday. Bags packed? Passport safe? Then take a seat on our first class flight to another scorching dancefloor destination.

There are few producers in the Progressive House world who command more respect than our guest DJ today, and there's no one as happy as us when we introduce him to you. Il Modo, give it up for the amazing Gab Oliver!

“You just had to be there” is an oft-repeated refrain whenever the “Melbourne sound” – the dark, stripped-down, and gritty progressive house and breakbeat that dominated the city’s dancefloors in the early 2000's – comes up in conversation. 

Gab Oliver created and nurtured a sound that eschewed the big, bold, brash sounds of the late 90’s in favour of a deeper, darker, and more hypnotic aesthetic. In the process he shaped an entire movement that cemented Australia as a creative force in the global dance music scene, and led to the rapid maturity of Progressive house and Breakbeat. 

The legendary party 'Sunny' was the key Melbourne monthly event where punters could regularly hear these new sounds, thanks to the resident DJs being given free reign to experiment musically and the party having a strong emphasis on going against the grain. Without question, the driving force behind the uncompromising deep and dark focus of the event was Gab Oliver.

 “Road testing our tunes at Sunny was the biggest gift of all. That’s all that really mattered, people going off to our music, that was fucking amazing.” The pioneer of the deep and hypotonic sound has recently re-launched the much loved Zero Tolerance label which has given the current Progressive House landscape a shakeup from the mainstream, pointing towards a deeper, darker, and more moody aesthetic. He recently released "Drowning" EP on this label and has also joined forces with Bassiray & Mckeown under the guise "Depth Institute".  

Moody soundscapes, mediated by underlying tension and bathed in darkness, Depth Institute‘s haunted and sophisticated late-night progressive storytelling is uncompromising in every sense of the word. Their debut Remix on Gab's ‘Drowning EP‘ which focused on subtlety and deep textures representing the true ZT sound brilliantly. 

Their follow-up release was a remix of Hot TuneiK‘s ‘Poema‘, a track heavily supported by John Digweed on his recent tour of Argentina, on his Transitions Radio show, and peaked at #2 on the Beatport Top 100 Progressive House Releases Chart.

"I want the relaunched Zero Tolerance to be like it was back when we started it, a place for new artists to make music other people aren’t making. I’ve always had a passion for new music and supporting emerging artists, and I would love to see a new generation of producers given the kinds of opportunities we weren’t by other labels when we started out. If you’re making music that’s too deep and dark for other labels, we want to hear it." - Gab.. 

With that in mind, enjoy the mix!

Anthony Pappa | Black Label Series 046

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.

For My Father

Beatport

PRE-ORDER: Danny Waters - For My Father (Original Mix)

DeMac(GR), the Greek Afro-House DJ and producer tearing up dancefloors from Thessaloniki to Mykonos, with collabs like Tony G and CJ Jeff and mixes for Sound Of House and Reform Studio, teams up with Lazaros—the undisputed king of hypnotic Afro-Tech grooves in Greece—for their explosive new collab on QulaqAs Records: "Headbass".
This isn’t just a track—it’s a weapon. A seismic clash of raw bass pressure, tribal percussion, and that killer piano hook that’ll be stuck in your head (and your sets) for months. The vocals? A command, not a request—this record doesn’t ask for attention, it demands it. Lock in, turn up, and let the bass take control.
DJs, consider this your secret arsenal. Crowds won’t just dance—they’ll obey. To submit your demo, please send an email to demo@qulaqas.com
