Review: After a decade showcasing his wares on Bedrock, Stelios Vassiloudis has transferred to Balance Music. There's a lot to like about 'End Transmission', the Athens-based producer's label debut. In the EP-leading 'Single Version' form, the track is a genuine blast of squint-worthy audible sunshine: a slowly building ambient soundscape where shimmering pads and glistening guitars cluster sparse, laidback beats and warming bass that seemingly build in waves. Vassiloudis rebuilds it for the dancefloor on the 'Dub Variation', re-imagining it as a loopy chunk of weighty soundscape tech-house, but it's John Beltran's 'Sweet Sunny Remix' - a sublime, awe-inspiring ambient take tailor-made for spring runrises - that really sparkles. It's genuinely breath-taking.

Review: Vassiloudis, who is best known for his work on Bedrock, follows last year's Crossroads EP on Balance with this immersive affair. "Building Better Worlds" is an atmospheric but driving track that resounds to layered textures and chiming melodies. Meanwhile on "Supermodel", he drops the tempo to deliver dubbed out drums and a brooding bass that provides the basis for dreamy synth lines. "Tunnel Vision" sees Vassiloudis focus more on this downtempo approach, as slow-motion beats are fused with shiny melodies and robotic vocals. The Greek producer's journey into the home listening realm continues on "Manual", where cosmic keys and guitar licks are fused with a chugging groove.

Review: Quality progressive house action from long standing Aussie label Balance Music here. Three time winner of Israel's DJ of the Year award Sahar Z has worked with everyone from Bedrock to Lost & Found, while Stelios Vassiloudis might just be one of the most well-known exponents of emotive house to come from Greece. His impressive resume of releases takes in such esteemed labels like Poker Flat, Ovum, Audiomatique, and Moodmusic. This is the pair's second session of collaboration, and the Crossroads EP is destined to take you to distant places in your mind. Go deep into the exotic on the hypnotic bliss that is the mesmerising title track, the dark energy of 'heads down' number "Black Tears" will draw you deep into the aether while the heavenly and sublime "Front Row" is a perfectly euphoric cut that's ideal to play before they turn the lights on in the morning.
