Roger Martinez is a distinctive voice in electronic music, known for deep, progressive trance-influenced DJ sets and detailed productions. Shaped by Amsterdam’s club scene in the late ’90s and early 2000s, his long-form sets often move across genres, using 4-deck mixing to build cohesive, evolving journeys.
With releases from Lost & Found to Sudbeat and Plattenbank, Martinez continues to explore subtle textures and rhythmic depth, an intention you can hear clearly on his own Higher States imprint.
On this Balance Selections mix, Martinez flexes with an impressive 90-minutes ride through forward-thinking prog. Featuring tracks from Maze28, Amháin & EMPHI and Dowden & Mazayr, this is a hypnotic drift worth surrendering to.

Balance Croatia 030: Khen
Equal parts nostalgia and innovation, Khen’s emotionally rich productions — rooted in progressive, shaped by house, and tinted with techno — have made him a standout on dancefloors that demand more than just a drop. That finely tuned sensibility makes him the ideal choice to set the tone for our Balance Croatia pre-party with Deep Dish at Barbarellas.
Khen will perform at Balance Croatia 2025.

Balance Selections 332: Paula OS
Paula OS is a Chilean-born, Argentina-based producer, singer, and DJ crafting atmospherically rich electronica influenced by acts like Radiohead, Portishead, and Björk. She launched her solo live project in 2017—dreamy vocals with hypnotic textures—which eventually led to a collaboration with Hernán Cattáneo and Soundexile on Renaissance: the alluring ‘Harvest’ EP. Earlier this year, she founded her own label, Sopor Music, kicking things off with ‘Image’, a solo six-track album coded with electronica and emotional hues.
On this Balance Selections mix, Paula OS delivers a dynamic take on progressive, filled with cerebral moments and pure dancefloor diesel. Featuring tracks from Stimming, Analog Jungs, Stereo Underground & D-Nox, this tightly programmed session shows she's transmitting a unique frequency that's becoming increasingly hard to ignore.

Balance Selections 331: DJ Be Kind To Other People
Melbourne’s DJ Be Kind to Other People has built a reputation through kaleidoscopic sets that are joy-positive. Equally at home alongside Australian crossover acts like Sneaky Sound System and Flight Facilities or deep in the sweat-soaked confines of the city's infamous Revolver Upstairs club, he thrives on a versatility which bridges scenes without ever compromising his identity.
His unique journey has already taken him to Burning Man (USA) and Devconnect (Turkey), with his next international appearance set for our inaugural Balance Croatia. Beyond the booth, he hosts Coburg Up Late, a talk show filmed in his garage featuring global and local dance music names.
On this Balance Selections mix, DJ Be Kind to Other People lets his personality shine across two hours of lush house and progressive. Featuring tracks from Gai Barone, Monkey Safari, Hannes Bieger, and more, it’s a vibrant journey into the mind of a truly idiosyncratic selector.
