Balance Presents Sudbeat CD

For the latest volume in their long running mix series, the Balance crew has turned to globetrotting Argentine DJ Hernan Cattaneo. It's the one-time Perfecto artist's first mix collection for three years, and apparently utilizes the global network of producers associated with Cattaneo's Sudbeat label. Remarkably, every single track is previously "unheard and unreleased". Musically, it's something of a treat, with the first disc presenting a melodious and atmospheric trawl through hazy ambient, glistening electronica, slo-mo house, and hard-to-define tracks that draw on a variety of South American influences. Cattaneo switches his focus to peak-time dancefloors on disc two, smoothly negotiating a voyage through progressive house, Bedrock style tech-house, and rich, melodious techno.
