Balance Selections Podcast

[PREVIEW] Juan Buitrago - Hopefulness

The title track, ‘Hopefulness’, delivers everything required for a complete experience. A driving bassline surges forward with intent, underpinned by a warm, inviting percussion section. A bubbling melodic motif emerges in spectral form, hovering above like a star-filled cosmos, while icy synths slowly fade in to wrap the track in a hazy glow. All signs point toward a breakdown that lands with maximum impact.

Balance Selections 366: Das Pharaoh

Hailing from Egypt and shaped by a clear affinity for melodic and progressive house, Das Pharaoh has quickly developed into a project with genuine international traction. Releases on labels such as UV and Siona have delivered multiple chart successes, while wide-ranging support from selectors include Hernan Cattaneo to  Solomun points to broad dancefloor appeal. Beyond the studio, the act has expanded its profile through the ULF (Underground Live Forever) podcast with Paul Thomas, while performances at the Great Pyramids of Giza, Miami Music Week, Amsterdam Dance Event and dates across Europe, Asia and North Africa underline a steadily widening reach. On this Balance Selections mix, the Egypt-born artist showcases a sound that also acts as a snapshot of UV, the label closely tied to his career. Featuring tracks from Patch Park, Alex O'Rion and Paul Arcane, this two hour mix highlights what is so fresh about our scene. @daspharaohofficial Tracklisting & interview: https://balancemusic.com.au/balance-selections-366-das-pharaoh ------------------------------------- Follow: Instagram: www.instagram.com/balance_series Facebook: www.facebook.com/balanceseriesmusic Youtube: www.youtube.com/@balancemusicofficial

[PREVIEW] Juan Buitrago - Forever Mover

The energy shifts with ‘Forever Mover’, an impressive and dynamic dancefloor cut. Its first half leans into deep, rolling grooves, building momentum with precision. The introduction of top-line keys in the breakdown then elevates the track into full main room territory, ensuring a lasting impression.

Balance Selections 365: Nicolas Ruiz

Nicolás Ruiz emerged from Argentina’s Misiones province with a sound shaped as much by local grounding as global ambition. Releases on Renaissance, Hope Recordings and Plattenbank have placed him firmly within the progressive continuum, with support from figures like Hernán Cattaneo and Nick Warren reinforcing his steady ascent. Having shared booths with names from John Digweed to Guy J, and appearances spanning from Zurich’s Street Parade to key European showcases, Ruiz continues to refine a craft that sits comfortably between dancefloor functionality and melodic depth. On this Balance Selections mix he continues that fine form. Featuring tracks from Kasper Koman, Maze28, Juan Deminicis and more, this is two hours of well-crafted dance music. @nicolasruiz Tracklisting & interview: https://balancemusic.com.au/balance-selections-365-nicolas-ruiz ------------------------------------- Follow: Instagram: www.instagram.com/balance_series Facebook: www.facebook.com/balanceseriesmusic Youtube: www.youtube.com/@balancemusicofficial
