Balance Croatia 002: Dowden

Dowden works in gradients: tension, release, shadow, light. His productions move with a pulse, shifting from late-night progressive to deep, melodic passages. It is all very patient, an air of space and emotional detail that settles in slowly. What emerges is a signature atmosphere that is immersive and charged.

 Across two hours of shifting progressive tones, the mix offers a clear snapshot of how strong the global landscape has become.

 Dowden will perform at Balance Croatia 2026. @dowdenmusic __________________________________________________ BALANCE CROATIA FESTIVAL LAUNCH PARTY Barbarellas Discotheque, Pirovac, Croatia feat.

 Oniris - All Over Me

Oniris found his calling in the mid-’90s club scene, where house and techno first took hold of him. Years of experimentation and self-taught production across far-flung islands like Mayotte and New Caledonia honed his melodic, emotive sound. His breakthrough came when Laurent Garnier championed his tracks, propelling Oniris onto the global stage with a debut EP on Bedrock Records that cemented his place as one of France’s most compelling techno exports. With his All Over Me EP on Balance Music, Oniris proved his knack for sculpting hypnotic, melody-driven house that resonates on both the dance floor and the heart. On this Balance Selections mix, the veteran French producer threads that same theme through an hour of soothing, afro-prog energy. Featuring tracks from Oxia, Ian O’Donovan, and Beckers & D-Nox, it’s a solid-gold session of deeply affecting house. @oniris Tracklisting: https://balancemusic.com.au/balance-selections-343-oniris
