Courtesy of Balance is the Balance sister label run by Frenchman Brawther, who Chicago house great Chez Damier credits with getting him back in the game several years ago, after he had taken a step away. This is another super smooth and seductive deep house sound, with Grant & Finnoh laying down warm, rolling beats, dubbed-out chords and heady vocal whispers. Brawther brings out the jazziness with his slightly more up-tempo remix and finally, Zansika sinks you into a late-night reverie with her dreamy and loved-up remix. More

We welcome Philadelphia's Snad who has been cooking some most excellent music while being inspired by his life as a Dj expat in Berlin. 3 Deep house cuts that oscillate back and forth between wonky fxs, lush pads, tight percussion and the odd break beat rhytthm. Snad is one to look out for and we are very glad to have him join the Balance family. Enjoy More

Courtesy Of Balance Recordings weclomes Nat Wendell to the family with his long awaited debut. We have had the tracks for a while now and they have all been road tested and will guarantee some serious dancefloor action for your warm up, after hours or main room needs. This record is as deep as it gets. As usual, this is for the underground house djs who only care to bring emotion and memories to their audiences. This is set to be a classic of it own. More

Courtesy Of Balance welcomes Garrett David, the heir of Chicago house music, resident of Smart Bar's "Queen!" parties alongside Derrick Carter and Michael Serafini. Garrett is a true ninja of all things deep and groovy and every track shows the degree of mastery and knowledge in production as well as in arrangement and flow. This three tracker also sees the title track "The Time" (with Lailah Riech on Vocals) remixed by NIght Sea Journey, a remix collaboration with Colin Johson. As simple as it gets, Garrett sets the record straight and tells you what time it is...

Another arm of Chez Damier's multi-limbed Balance Alliance, Courtesy of Balance inaugurate a new series of 12" compilation releases with COB 3, arriving on limited edition transparent vinyl. Amir Alexander kicks things off following a crop of killer releases for Vanguard Sound and Hype LTD with "Dragon Fly!" featuring the subtly undulating bassline and fresh take on the deep house template he's known for, while City 2 City's "True People 88 89 90" comes true on the promise of its title, with a piece of vintage house that goes beyond the usual hollow revivalism. On the flip, Immer & Mr J's "Delta 23" offers a thick piece of mid-tempo house, with a piercing kick drum, offbeat dub chords and contained acid madness, while St Sene & Janeret's "Nightshifter" takes things down a notch with a late-night house track filled with swirling pads and diva vocals swelling on the midnight horizon.

The young Frenchman's third release on Chez Damier's Balance imprint sees him showcasing his techno side. Le Voyage and Chains and Funk are two muscular dance floor tracks that cut straight for the floor. Le Voyage as the title suggests is a majestic track with grand ideas that accelerates the deepness of the hugely successful Asteroids and Star Dust. On Side 2 there is a dark urgency that will certainly make waves on the floor. The combination of the two confirms Brawther's status as a true talent for the future. More
