Massive respect to Decoded Magazine for hosting this contest and showcasing artists pushing the craft forward. Decoded magazine Mix of the Month Competition. This is my full mix at a little over 70 minutes. Official submission was cut down to 61 minutes to meet the rules.

I recorded a one take live 4-deck performance using STEMS and multi-layer blending throughout the entire session for this December 2025's Decoded Magazine Mix Contest . No track is presented in its original state — instead, the mix constantly reshapes the groove through isolated drum patterns, vocal fragments, synth lines, and atmospherics.

The mix is designed as a progressive narrative, shifting from deep rolling textures into melodic tension, and finally into peak-time energy. The set relies heavily on long harmonic blends, stem-driven re-arrangements, and counter-melodies layered across multiple decks. Nearly every transition includes 3 tracks interacting at once, with the first half of the mix using 4 tracks, emphasizing fluid progression over abrupt shifts.

Balanced Euphoria is a deep, groove-driven, late-night soundtrack designed to bring the room from peak intensity into pure after-hours flow. Spanning just over two hours, this mix is my first set built 100% from STEM files, meaning not a single track is played in its original form. Every moment is reconstructed, re-layered, or re-imagined.

Across four decks, the set drifts between smooth transitions, hypnotic rhythms, and melodic textures. Roughly 40% is mixed on all four decks, 50% on three decks, and the remaining 10% on two, giving this mix a constantly shifting, evolving feel. Expect subtle grooves, rolling basslines, and carefully balanced energy — the kind of set I'd play in the final hours of a long night, when the dance floor wants to move but also float.

Perfect for late-night drives, creative focus, or anyone who loves progressive, melodic, and atmospheric dance music with intention.

As always, here is the track listing....BUT, they may not be in the exact order. Most of the tracks have STEMs from being used throughout the set, and layered with others, so yoiun will not hear any original segment of a track by itself. Let the journey unfold.
