French producer and DJ Agoria has been tapped to mix Balance 016.
As with previous installments of Balance, the compilation will be a multiple disc affair, with an emphasis on variety and clever mixing. Balance 016 will feature an eclectic mix of deep house, techno, disco, classical and pop, including twelve exclusive tracks.
In following with the series' titular theme, Agoria diversified not only his track selection, but also his mixing style. "I thought that to find the right balance, I needed to use all the ways of mixing. Editing tracks but also letting entire tracks play. Playing 3 or 4 times the same tracks, or spinning some for just a few seconds. Loopy or not. Exclusive, classic or covers, bizarre or easy listening, happy or trippy. 4 tracks together or just one. Loosing the listener for a minute to re-catch him the minute after. Spinning a classical music work of Jonny Greenwood at the peak time. Going up and then down. Starting and finishing with the same tracks."
Balance 016 will be Agoria's first commercial mix CD since his At The Controls mix, which was released in the Fall of 2007.
