How do DJs imbue compilations with the sense of worth, majesty and mystery that they once had in the pre-internet age? The smart ones pour enough time, originality and exclusivity into their mixes to justify a purchase and to ensure that their effort stands the test of time. On his Balance mix,
Guy J
achieves both in magnificent fashion. One of
John Digweed
's brightest discoveries of the last decade, the Israeli producer grew up listening to the Bedrock boss' groundbreaking
Northern Exposure
mixes and Transitions radio show. A focus on progression and evolution makes Guy J's music and sets so captivating, straddling the divide between deep progressive house and dubby techno with stunning flourishes of euphoric melody. On this incredible
Balance
mix, he has taken the essences of some of his best-loved tracks by other producers and filtered them through the prism of his own stunning sound, re-editing and reconstructing them to create a truly original listening experience. A truly epic reverb embalms the yearning, ethereal strains of
Flowers & Sea Creatures
' collaboration with
DJ Yellow
, "No One Gets Left Behind," as the mix gently, beatlessly begins (think
Radiohead
dosed up on Valium in a vast church). We effortlessly segue into the lush textures and exotic instrumentation of
Roger Martinez & Secret Cinema
's "Menthol Raga," deep bass and a warm beat brought gradually into play. From these monotone depths emerge the sorrowful bass line and heady atmospherics of
Henry Saiz
's "Sante Fe," and a bubbling interpretation of a
Radio Slave
a cappella that heightens the energy considerably.
Juan Deminicis
' "Once Upon a Time" tempers the mood back down, setting up the seductive melancholia of
Navar
's "Phases of Grief" for maximum impact, all brooding bass and emotive riffs.
Pezzner
's mix of
Pavel Petrov
's "Fever" gets amped up into a hypnotic, head-nodding slice of deep tech house, moving perfectly into the rich strings and shimmering keys of
Charles Webster
's
Lanoiraude
remix. Just as the energy is swelling, we're pulled back down once again into the sumptuous sea of melody and warmth of his
Dactilar
"Day One" edit, the beat simmering down to near-nothingness. Again, it's an expertly implemented lesson in contrast, the soaring motifs and heady vocals of
Echomen
's "Perpetual" blossoming out of this pause for breath.
Guy Matnzur
's "I'm Your Country" ramps up the momentum once again with hard-hitting bass interspersing heavenly breakdowns, and
WOW
's "Killa" providing a glistening penultimate slice of big room splendor.
Robert Babicz
's "Duba" provides the dreamy swansong that rounds the mix off; another beatless beauty laden with spine-tingling emotion. It's all over too soon, demanding rapid repeat listening. This magical mix is sure to be a strong contender for one of 2013's finest, and has everything going for it to live on well beyond those end-of-year lists.
