Already a universally respected DJ and producer, there can be no doubting Alan Fitzpatrick’s position, as one of the most influential electronic artists of the moment.
Highlighted by another series of head-turning productions and DJ sets over the last twelve months, the Englishman’s profile continues to transition rapidly from the techno underground to the electronic music main stage, attracting significant attention from BBC Radio 1, Mixmag, and Resident Advisor, and elevating him to the position of global headliner.
He has also succeeded in carving out his own musical niche within the ever-expanding genre of techno, earning him the reputation of a seemingly unstoppable source of hit music, and his latest track, an update of the classic Patrice Rushen classic ‘Haven’t You Heard’ on FFRR Records, is set to become his biggest yet…

@oonadahl
The past decade has seen Öona Dahl solidify her status as one of underground dance music's most refreshing artists. As a producer, she has steadily built her repertoire, with a penchant for experimentation that's guided by an innate understanding of what makes a great song. Punctuating those musical attributes, her debut album “Holograma" on the Hallucienda label, further revealed the emergence of a songwriter hinting at influences ranging from the ambient vocal stylings of This Mortal Coil, to the electronica offerings of Bjork, without ever sounding like anything other than herself.
Öona Dahl continues to develop her versatility as both producer, and DJ by effortlessly weaving through electronica, ambience, and cosmic warehouse grooves.

@victorruiz
For quite a few years now, Victor Ruiz has been known for his high quality productions, which has made him a highly sought after artist in the Techno scene. His “unofficial edits” of classic songs, are a huge part of Victor’s performances, with the most popular being “Breathe” by The Prodigy, “Children” from Robert Miles, “Everything Counts” from Depeche Mode (in collaboration with Thomas Schumacher), and his latest edit of “Teardrop” from Massive Attack.
Apart from remixing the biggest names in the electronic music, such as MOBY, Stephan Bodzin, and Dubfire, he has reached the #1 position on the Beatport charts, with his own signature peak time melodic sound.
As a result of this success, the Brazilian born Berlin-based producer has been touring all around the world, from big festivals to intimate clubs, and judging by his performances and productions, he injects pure love with everything he does.

received his biggest accolade yet: Pete Tong’s Essential Tune of The Year on BBC Radio One, for the string-fueled, epic end-of-nighter ‘Halcyon’, which was
released on Solomun’s acclaimed Diynamic imprint.
Dee has also performed several times at Burning Man for Robot Heart, and Carl Cox’s Playground stage, along with massive gigs at Hï with Joris Voorn and Nic Fanciulli in Ibiza.

In just a few years, Josh Butler has firmly established himself as one of house music's most revered talents. Following the unexpected success behind his debut ‘Got A Feeling’ in 2013, Josh soon went on to pick up multiple industry awards from Beatport and DJ Mag, whilst releasing on Cajual, Madtech, VIVa and Noir, to name just a few.
Boasting remixes for Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, and Joris Voorn, warming up for the multi-grammy award winning Nile Rodgers and Chic, and EPs on Rejected, Defected, Poker Flat, and 8Bit, it’s easy to see why his diary has seen him tour the globe.

December 16, 2019 Balance Selections 112: Sidney Charles
Both as a DJ, and a producer, Sidney favours rough, dirty sounds that defined the old school pioneers, but, with a modern, full, and punchy approach, and with this style, has seen him play numerous times at DC10 Circo Loco, and Do Not Sleep events.
His signature releases ‘House Lessons’, and ‘Warehouse Romance’ established his heavy house sound early on, and since then, the artist has released irresistible rhythms on key labels such as Truesoul, Hot Creations, and Saved.
His upfront, dark, hard hitting take on house will definitely make you move, and this mix for Balance Selections is no exception…
