The Balance Series is renowned for being one of the most consistent and trusted compilation series on offer, with each new installment being eagerly awaited and heavily hyped, before and after it’s arrival.
Following on from Timo Maas’ 2 disc Balance 017 mix, which was released last October, is Nick Warren, stepping in for the 18th edition of this lauded series. Nick is somewhat of a legend in the Dj world and his solo productions along with those of his collaborative project Way Out West are of an increasingly high standard and testament to his passion and experience.
Warren has taken a ‘less is more’ approach with this 2 disc compilation, molding his long-time love of melodic and progressive sounds with his new-found ‘imaginative techno’ affair. “This album treads a techier and deeper path while sticking to my template of sourcing music from every corner of the globe, once more finding some new and exciting producers” he explains.
Rather then the tracklist reading like a who’s who’s and what’s hot, Nick’s musical maturity shines through and hopefully you’ll be left inspired, educated and fulfilled, which is how most other Balance mixes leave you feeling.

I'm just going to assume that 'Balance 018' is just slang for 'GU: 40.' :toothless
Not that it matters, as I'm eager to snag up anything Warren put out compilation-wise, and am looking forward to what will hopefully be a refreshing follow-up to the mostly dry, disappointing GU: Lima. |

| Considering EQ went into Admin some months ago, it is really no wonder Stomp is using big names to move the units. Nick Warren is a fine choice and I'm looking forward to this. |

It could be a move up for Warren, or a move down for Balance, depending upon how you look at it. The Balance brand seems to have long-since overtaken GU as the reputable brand of choice, so for Warren, this will be the best series he'll have stamped his name to in years. But Balance has obviously generally sought to avoid enlisting imposing headliner names to put together their compilations, and Nick Warren has long been associated with a label that has done so for years; so it may be a ding to their credibility, in the eyes of some.
I'm unconcerned either way, as few people invest the same level of thoughtful meticulous when crafting their mix compilations as Nick Warren, so this is most welcome, regardless as to who's branding it. |

| A downtempo/ambient disc would've been a good addition. |
