Agoria Has Found the Right Balance
Published: January 20th, 2010
French techno genius Agoria has mixed the next volume in EQ Recordings stunning Balance compilation series, following on from Joris Voorn and Will Saul’s superb efforts. There’s 12 exclusive tracks on there, plenty of new producers, and an open-minded mixing strategy, which is all we’re waiting for.
Agoria explains his intention for this intricate compilation: “The concept of both CDs is all about balance. Literally. In my mind a balance is not a middle position; it's a perfect equilibrium. I’m trying to be as close as possible to this idea. I have tried to find this fine line where the balance is just right. In the end, more than a DJ compilation, this is a manifesto of my passion for music and for mixing”
“I thought that to find the right balance, I needed to use all the ways of mixing. Editing tracks but also letting entire tracks play. Playing 3 or 4 times the same tracks, or spinning some for just a few seconds. Loopy or not. Exclusive, classic or covers, bizarre or easy listening, happy or trippy. 4 tracks together or just one. Loosing the listener for a minute to re-catch him the minute after. Spinning a classical music work of Jonny Greenwood at the peak time. Going up and then down. Starting and finishing with the same tracks.”
Balance 016: Agoria will be released 15th March.

Nah, his At The Controls was pretty wank. There were some cool tracks, but other tracks that were pish and the mixing wasn't that much better.
In fact, Holden's ATC is the only one I've actually liked.
Still, I'll probably check this out. |

That cover reminds me of Pyramid Head from Silent Hill
James Holden's At The Control's is one of the best compilations i've heard, and should age well to cult followership in 5-10 years. Heard both discs about 10 times when it came out, and a few times since, actually a good listen right about now. Hoping in 2010 or 2011 he does another compilation. |

Heh, I still prefer Balance 005.
And for the record, VonStroke's ATC was easily the worst. Complete with Heater.
And this comp has some reaaally nice artists. Alva Noto is meeega. |
