Melbourne Techno Collective

EQ records recently announced that quirky French electronic producer Agoria will be the man behind the latest Balance compilation. The ever reliable Balance series went up a notch last year with two hugely popular and highly acclaimed compilations care of Joris Voorn and Will Saul. Both were regarded among the albums of the year in 2009 and with the bar raised so high by Voorn and Saul – and with it the profile of the Balance series – big things are expected from the latest 2 disc release. A look at the track listing would suggest that Agoria has done everything possible to reach the near unattainable heights of the last two releases, but we are going to have to wait until March 5 before we know for certain.
