Now based in Barcelona after emerging from Argentina’s progressive underground, Mariano Montori crafts music with patience and control, favouring subtle melodic interplay and slow-burning tension over obvious peaks.
Across releases for labels including The Soundgarden and Univack, he builds tracks that move with precision, balancing atmosphere with a strong sense of dancefloor momentum.
From clubs and festivals across Europe and Latin America to appearances in Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Pakistan, Montori continues to refine a sound grounded in emotional storytelling and deep, transportive energy, both in the studio and behind the decks.
On this Balance Selections mix, he delivers a two-hour set that simmers with controlled tension. Featuring music from Kamilo Sanclemente, Nicolas Viana, Fernando Olaya and more, this is well-crafted excursion into mature dance music.
Berlin-based DJ and producer POWEL channels his background as a classically trained pianist into electronic music marked by delicate emotion: a space where subtle percussion and ghostly textures drift between introspection and movement.
We can’t wait to welcome POWEL for his debut appearance at Balance Croatia this August.

Balance Selections 370: Aaron Suiss
15.05.2026 | 1 Std. 3 Min.
Emerging from Washington D.C. before relocating to the island energy of Koh Phangan, Aaron Suiss has built a career defined as much by emotional connection as dancefloor momentum. Now based in Thailand, the DJ, producer and label figure channels a melodic progressive sound rooted in feeling rather than functionality. That philosophy extends beyond the studio.
Whether overseeing A&R duties for his own label 'Echoes of Time', championing new talent, or crafting productions that continue to climb the Beatport charts, Suiss approaches music as an act of energy exchange rather than pure entertainment. It’s a mindset that has helped shape his rise while keeping his perspective grounded.
On this Balance Selections, the artist showcases a crisp sound that feels seamless. Featuring tracks from Dowden, Stereo Underground, Patrice Bäumel and more, this is a dynamic journey through progressive textures.

Balance Croatia 021: Mike Rish
12.05.2026 | 1 Std. 8 Min.
Mike Rish is one of the more singular voices operating today. With productions that shine with a nocturnal glow, Rish is locked in on a frequency that is deeply enticing.
We can’t wait to host the Australian this August in Croatia.
