Balance Selections 368: Will DeKeizer

Active since 2004, Will DeKeizer has developed a sound anchored in a classical piano background: melodic restraint and hypnotic flow. His approach leans on structure and atmosphere, with tension that builds in its own time. While early breakthroughs came via support from Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo, his more recent work has maintained that trajectory, circulating consistently within DJ sets and specialist labels from Mango Alley to Plattenbank. Rather than pivoting toward visibility, DeKeizer dabbles in a process that favours durability over noise. On this Balance Selections mix, the American producer has delivered something quite special. Featuring tracks from Mike Rish, GMJ & Matter, Kostya Outta and swathe of his own releases, the result is an intricate journey that privileges musical depth as much as dancefloor weight.
