Trance Wax, the brainchild of Belfast’s Garry McCartney (aka Ejeca), has become a key player in modern trance since its 2016 inception as a remix project.

From a Radio 1 Essential Mix to Boiler Room performances, sold-out vinyl runs, and remixes for Kylie Minogue and Solomun, McCartney’s dedication and vision have cemented Trance Wax as a leading force in the contemporary trance landscape. For our final Balance Selections mix of 2024, we’re thrilled to welcome the remix extraordinaire for an exciting journey through progressive and trance. Featuring tracks and remixes from Kostya Outta, Ejeca, and, naturally, Trance Wax, this mix is a vibrant ride filled with a few unexpected surprises along the way. @trancewax
