Jimmy Van M mixes Balance 010

Since it's inception back in 2001, EQ Recordings' Balance compilation series has become one of the most consistent and widely recognised; initially showcasing homegrown talents of Sean Quinn, Kasey Taylor and Phil K before breaking free of its Australian roots and introducing international names.

Balance 010 sees Jimmy Van M create an epic three-disc journey through two decades of electronic music, where legends like Brian Eno, Bill Laswell, Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin, and Thievery Corporation cosy up alongside today's finest dance artists including Michael Mayer, Ellen Allien, Trentemøller, Booka Shade and Oliver Lieb.

Jimmy Van M explains:

This compilation was 15 years in the making, it offers different shades of music. The first 2 CDs are downtempo mixes that expose a different side of me as a DJ. It took 3 months of digging through my old CD collection, finding the faves, and shaping it into something meaningful. CD 3 is the music that I'm playing in the clubs right now.
