Danny Tenaglia Joins the Balance Mix Series

The Balance series has indisputably been one of the most impressive strings of mix CDs that have been available to us over the last decade. In the past the likes of Radio Slave, Deetron, Henry Saiz and Funk D’Void have all contributed to the number of double CD mixes, as well as the historically memorable instalment from Joris Voorn. Now, the release of Balance 025 is just around the corner and we have just learned that the selecting and blending will this time be taken care of by none other than Danny Tenaglia.

So far we have only been presented with short previews of tracks from the first CD, but this is already tantalising our appetite for this episode that is due to hit the shelves in September. Originating in Miami, Florida, Tenaglia has been DJing for over 30 years and is one of the most consistently revered faces on the scene still today. He has been likened with many sounds through progressive and tribal to today’s focus on rugged techno, which the majority of this mix consists of.

On the first CD the more over ground likes of Basement Jaxx and Hot Since 82 are given Balearic make overs from Michel Cleis and Dosem, all whilst tracks from Thomas Schumacher and Ø [Phase] provide harder and tougher cuts. The second half of the mix contains the likes of Gregor Tresher and Regis, cutting even deeper and gaining momentum to finish with a rocket fire of astronomic blips and claps through Exploit’s ‘UFO’.
