- The Argentine's two-disc mix features cuts from Mano Le Tough, Moderat and Boards Of Canada.
Hernan Cattaneo is next in line for the Balance series.
Balance 26 will be the second mix released by the celebrated Australian label in as many months, following Danny Tenaglia's milestone edition, due out in September. Across two discs and 34 tracks, the Argentine touches upon all corners of his melody-heavy output, starting with the downtempo electronica of Boards of Canada before working his way through sturdier cuts from Mano Le Tough, Gui Boratto and Guy J.
"It's been a great year for melodies and thankfully even German techno producers are not afraid to use them anymore,” Cattaneo says. “As a result, I think the music is the best it's been since the early 2000s.”
He goes on to praise the cluster of Israeli producers that feature on the mix, among them Guy Mantzur, Chaim and Sahar Z. Several of Cattaneo's own productions, alongside studio partner Soundexile, have also been included, showcasing both softer ("Solitude") and more club-ready ("Into The Edge") textures.
