I came across this mix a week ago, and instantly shot off an email to see if I could share it with you.  Mr. Dinsdale was more than happy to oblige.  This mix explains that Ministry of Sound residency, club thumping, thick and engaging throughout.

Mike Balance – Blast This – 2008

Ok, I'm really excited about this one! I've heard every mix this guy has done in the last decade, he always brings it to the table, but this is my favorite mix he's done in a while.  For the uninitiated Mike Balance is an amazing Producer / DJ, working closely with the In Stereo crew...

Pat Benolkin – Listen to This Mix! #1 – 2008

What he described to me as the first in a series, this mix is magnificent foreplay! Creeping through abstract bleeps, it gains momentum like a runaway freight train reaching a new level of energy right at the end. Pat B. definitely left me wanting more... so it's a good thing the next mix is already under way. Series work. Hot.

Mike Balance & Eli Andrew – 30 / 30 – 2006

This mix is half Mike Balance half Eli Andrew....all crunk. These two guys are both amazing DJs and great friends so why not tag a mix set. Mike starts it off with some banging big room music, and Eli takes over to lay some Euro-lectro on ya (and yeah I made that up).  These two work together nicely!
