Radio Slave - Balance 023

Re: Radio Slave - Balance 023

Radio Slave, a long-standing name in the electronic music world, is now officially announced as the creator behind Balance 023. The project came about as a way for him to celebrate his 20th year of DJing. He recently described his concept to Balance Music, saying:

"The concept is to pull together the records that have really stood the test of time and also the records that were the 'real moments' from each year. Some of these are underground hits, others forgotten gems that club kids and DJ's from now should really know about and enjoy. Going from my early years as a resident at Ministry's "Open all Hours," where I played everything from ambient to techno, to my DJ sets with JoelMartin as Quiet Village where we played Led Zeppelin at festivals such as the Big Chill, to the heady nights at the Panorama Bar and Berghain which are still on-going, I wanna present the best of the best and try and piece my music journey together from the last 20 years."

hmm might be some good tunes on this - although i saw him a couple of years ago in Cocoon and he fucking emptied the floor, not good!

Re: Radio Slave - Balance 023

I listened to the Cd1 preview today and I genuinely wonder if, when he listens back to this, he thinks that this is decent music? I'm sure it sounds great in a club environment but it has not translated well onto CD

Re: Radio Slave - Balance 023

^ my thoughts exactly. boring as...

You may give the CD2 preview a try though, doesn't sound that bad.

Re: Radio Slave - Balance 023

Bumping this as I was bought the CD as a present some time ago, and have given it a few listens over the last few weeks.

This is the definition of a 'nothing' cd in my opinion. I can't recall one track that is any good or is memorable. CD2 is a classics mix I believe, but its just so bland. Would love to know the album sales on this
