The SOS collective of Desyn Masiello, DJ Demi and Omid 16B took on the 13th installment of the Balance compilation series and ended up with a quite hefty 3 CD set.

And what a piece of work it is. Featuring beautiful mixes of tracks from the likes of Aphex Twin, Speedy J, Aeroplane, Cocteau Twins and a whole bunch more of surprising and refreshing selections, all three discs contain a wide selection of music and finely crafted mixes.

I am usually very apprehensive about remixes of old classics but SOS’s rework of The Cure’s Lullaby is just beautiful. This compilation, my friends, is the noughties’ answer to the pretty awesome 90s Northern Exposure series.
