In 2006, when the borders of progressive house were starting to blur and music started melting into the digital sphere, Balance 010 arrived with almost monastic ambition.
Disc 2 is the heart of Balance 010, the warm midtempo arc that gives the entire three-disc structure its emotional weight. It rises slowly from ambient drift into soft breakbeats, glides through Cocteau Twins shimmer and Speedy J tension, and lands in that hypnotic space where Boards of Canada, Ellen Allien, Aphex Twin and Underworld all feel like parts of the same world.
Critics consistently pointed to this disc as the most replayable, the most cinematic, the place where Jimmy’s instinct for mood and narrative became unmistakable. It moves without forcing momentum, deepens without darkening, and closes on a fourteen-minute Underworld remix that turns the whole project into a pilgrimage.
If Balance 10 has a centre of gravity, Disc 2 is it.

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.
