Balance Croatia 028: Tara Brooks

Equal parts nostalgia and innovation, Khen’s emotionally rich productions — rooted in progressive, shaped by house, and tinted with techno — have made him a standout on dancefloors that demand more than just a drop. That finely tuned sensibility makes him the ideal choice to set the tone for our Balance Croatia pre-party with Deep Dish at Barbarellas. Khen will perform at Balance Croatia 2025. @khenmusic __________________________________________________ BALANCE CROATIA FESTIVAL LAUNCH PARTY Barbarellas Discotheque, Pirovac, Croatia feat.

Paula OS is a Chilean-born, Argentina-based producer, singer, and DJ crafting atmospherically rich electronica influenced by acts like Radiohead, Portishead, and Björk. She launched her solo live project in 2017—dreamy vocals with hypnotic textures—which eventually led to a collaboration with Hernán Cattáneo and Soundexile on Renaissance: the alluring ‘Harvest’ EP. Earlier this year, she founded her own label, Sopor Music, kicking things off with ‘Image’, a solo six-track album coded with electronica and emotional hues. On this Balance Selections mix, Paula OS delivers a dynamic take on progressive, filled with cerebral moments and pure dancefloor diesel. Featuring tracks from Stimming, Analog Jungs, Stereo Underground & D-Nox, this tightly programmed session shows she's transmitting a unique frequency that's becoming increasingly hard to ignore. @paula_os

Just Her has become a global force in melodic house, playing everywhere from India to Ibiza and Brighton’s 10,000-strong beach festival. Her imprint Constant Circles bridges club culture with contemporary art, while her personal journey—juggling parenthood, higher education, and a radio show—cements her as a multidimensional talent reshaping dance music on her own terms. Just Her will perform at Balance Croatia 2025. @justhermusic __________________________________________________ BALANCE CROATIA SOLD OUT! Limited daily tickets remain.

Melbourne’s DJ Be Kind to Other People has built a reputation through kaleidoscopic sets that are joy-positive. Equally at home alongside Australian crossover acts like Sneaky Sound System and Flight Facilities or deep in the sweat-soaked confines of the city's infamous Revolver Upstairs club, he thrives on a versatility which bridges scenes without ever compromising his identity. His unique journey has already taken him to Burning Man (USA) and Devconnect (Turkey), with his next international appearance set for our inaugural Balance Croatia. Beyond the booth, he hosts Coburg Up Late, a talk show filmed in his garage featuring global and local dance music names. On this Balance Selections mix, DJ Be Kind to Other People lets his personality shine across two hours of lush house and progressive. Featuring tracks from Gai Barone, Monkey Safari, Hannes Bieger, and more, it’s a vibrant journey into the mind of a truly idiosyncratic selector. @djbekindtootherpeople

Tara Brooks will perform at Balance Croatia 2025. @tarabrooksmusic __________________________________________________ BALANCE CROATIA SOLD OUT! Limited daily tickets remain.

By the mid-’90s, while peak-time anthems dominated global dancefloors, Melbourne started developing its own dialect—a darker, more hypnotic sound rooted in restraint. At its core was a small community of DJs and producers, united by a shared refusal to chase trends. The sound they conjured was haunting: progressive but with a sparse architecture which created ample space for atmosphere. Indeed, a Zero Tolerance track spilled across the dancefloor with the tension of a coming storm. Uncompromising, yet cerebral. To supplement our deep dive with Gab Oliver (see link above to read full interview), the label head compiled an exclusive mix filled with fresh label cuts released on the label since its 2021 relaunch. No nostalgia, just fresh pressure.

Since the pandemic, Glasgow has been carving out a fresh identity in the progressive scene through Skyline — a monthly rooftop gathering that’s become a ritual for fans of deep, melodic sound. Helmed by Graham Chalmers aka Twilo, the party pairs high-calibre lineups with five-star comfort, earning rare goodwill from artists and punters alike. It’s no surprise Skyline felt like the perfect fit as a brand partner for Balance Croatia. With the countdown underway to our sold-out debut, the timing was right to shine a light on the man behind the movement — and invite him to showcase his musical chops alongside longtime partner-in-sound and fellow Skyline resident, Andy Newland. What they delivered is a four-hour excursion packed with progressive heat and nostalgic undertones. Featuring tracks from Nicolas Rada, Ezequiel Arias, Gai Barone and more, it’s a delicious taste of what’s to come this August. @skyline_glasgow

D-Nox has carved a global reputation for genre-blurring sets that fuse progressive, tech-house, trance, and techno into something magnetic and unforgettable. Whether behind the decks, steering Sprout and Plastik Park, or teaming up as D-Nox & Beckers, his taste, energy, and dancefloor instincts have made him a true underground favorite. D-Nox will perform at Balance Croatia 2025. @d-nox_official __________________________________________________ BALANCE CROATIA SOLD OUT! Limited daily tickets remain.

On this Balance Selections mix, Fabri Lopez leans into dancefloor-ready cuts that strike a perfect balance between tech and tone. Featuring tracks from Gaston Sosa, HAFT, Gonzalo Cotroneo, and more, it’s a seamless hour of finely tuned progressive. @fabricio-lopez-11

Few artists move a dancefloor—or fly the flag for Argentina—like Hernán Cattáneo. After compiling three Balance Series comps, running a legendary label in Sudbeat, and decades of unforgettable sets— his journey is the story of progressive house in motion. Hernán Cattáneo will perform at Balance Croatia 2025. @hernancattaneo __________________________________________________ BALANCE CROATIA SOLD OUT! Limited daily tickets remain.
