Show Notes
Diego Moreira has spent more than a decade refining a strain of progressive house built on dark protocols. Since 2018, his releases have carried that approach well beyond his native Argentina, earning regular support across specialist radio, clubs and the wider progressive circuit.
Moreira’s music is defined less by obvious peaks than by the way it gets there: fluid, measured and always conscious of the journey.
On this Balance Selections, the Argentine delivers a set steeped in those same principles. Featuring music from Claudio Cornejo, Kyotto and Stas Drive, alongside a stack of unreleased material from Moreira himself, this is a proper journey into the more cerebral corners of progressive.

Hailing from La Rioja in Argentina, Juan Ibañez is part of a new generation of South American producers bringing fresh energy to the scene.
The title track ‘Run For Cover’ taps into the wide-eyed escapism of the mid-’90s without slipping into nostalgia. Psychedelic details flicker across the drums like LED trails in a dark room, while a restless walking bassline gives the whole thing a wonderfully physical pull. Elements drift in and out of focus, resisting an obvious genre tag while maintaining an easy, heads-down momentum. It’s progressive music in the literal sense: constantly moving, never particularly interested in announcing where it’s going next.
On “Stupa”, the mood opens outward. There’s an unmistakable Balearic quality to its sun-warmed percussion and serrated bassline,a groove that immediately suggests open-air dancefloors and late-afternoon light. A woozy synth gradually sends proceedings into more narcotic territory, while soft vocal fragments, keyboard flourishes and flashes of guitar keep one foot planted somewhere recognisably human. Nothing is hurried or overplayed. Instead, Warren lets each element breathe, resulting in the kind of patient, transportive dance music that comes from knowing exactly how little you need to do.
Colombian DJ NAJEYS has developed a sound rooted in the melodic and hypnotic strains of progressive house. With a background in vocals and percussion, she began exploring electronic music in 2016, developing an approach to DJing that balances driving rhythms, atmospheric textures and emotive melodies.
