Today marks the 20th year anniversary of Balance 006 mixed by Anthony Pappa. Needless to say, it’s a chapter which holds a special place in the Balance story.

In the years between Anthony's breakout year in 2000 and his Balance mix in 2004, the progressive scene underwent many transformations—shifting from more trance-y sounds to tribal house rhythms, and dark atmospheres, eventually incorporating melodic progressive breaks. With Anthony’s trademark harmonic mixing on full display, this compilation skilfully captured the evolving landscape and showcased Anthony’s musical range in impeccable style.

With it’s borderline spiritual take on progressive breaks, it still sounds as fresh as it did 20 years ago. For Anthony, it stands out as a unique entry in his discography:

‘I had never dedicated a full mix to breaks. That was something special.'
