Exclusive Interview: Mike Balance

Exclusive Interview: Mike Balance Mike has been involved with electronic music for half of his life. At 14 he discovered electronic dance music in Houston, TX and by 16 was making noise of his own with long time friend Craig Biesel. In 1993 Mike went to his first underground warehouse party in Austin, TX and was changed forever. Only a year later Mike moved to Boise, ID and continued to produce electronic music and began DJing and throwing parties which helped create the underground dance scene in Boise.

After years of DJing and helping throw events, Mike decided to get serious about his music and purchased an MPC 2000 which lead to many hours and sleepless nights of fine tuning his sound and perfecting his trade. In 2000 Mike was ready to take things to the next level and made 100 promo copies of Fresh Choice Music No. 1 which got great reviews by fellow DJs and producers and sparked the interest of Soul Phusion Records.

Fast forward to 2005 / 2006, and we find Mike has provided remixes and originals for labels such as Kontrast, FunkTeck, Molocacho, District Music and Ammo, and sets for the highly anticipated release of “The Rhythm” on In Stereo which was charted by DJ Dan and appears on his latest mix cd “Lift”. 2006 also brings great promise with Mike’s first Solmatic release “In a Groove” with Joey Mazzola featured on RHV’s top ten and his “Automatic” mixed cd as well. and this is just the start!

MB: Boise is pretty well situated in the middle of everything on the West Coast. We are Read more
