Damn thats a bit harsh but to each their own. I loved Pappa's Balance cd. It was awesome in my opinon. Both cds very different yet both very entertaining and they fit well together.

Also i cant wait for Fortier's Balance album. Im sure he is gonna come correct.

I actually liked Pappa's disc better than any Fortier set i've ever heard, not a fan, but considering the Balance cd series has me hooked, i'm interested in hearing this.

Chris Fortier will mix Balance 007 due for release April 2005

Carl Craig, Funk D'Void or Dave Clarke might not be the first three names to come to mind when you mention the name Chris Fortier. However, these are the last three records that close his recent 3 hr set for Bedrock in the U.K.

In a time when the words progressive house are no longer as chic as they once were, it is artists such as Chris Fortier who are inextricably linked to the scene that are the genuinely pushing the sound forward. No greater example would be Chris' Bedrock compilation mix CD from 2002. Rather than taking the obvious route of including big names, he chose to create a platform for artists such as Meat Katie, Jay Tripwire, and Randall Jones before they went on to greater success. Reviews of the CD were glowing both from the press and the general public, with the mix remaining a favourite for months, factoring in the polls for compilation of the year.

Chris' determination to continue to push the envelope can be seen in all aspects of his career. Whether it's behind the decks, or in his recent solo production work such as the aptly titled "Whateveritis" and current single "Despegue" as two genre defying soundtracks or as head of Fade Records where despite 40 releases down, he continues to receive praise for keeping it as one of the most respected underground labels in the U.S. which is currently represented in the Fade Audio Tour CD mixes by Fortier.

While some U.S. DJs boast about playing the world, few can genuinely claim to cover as many international air miles as Fortier. Since a Bedrock/ Babelicious UK tour with John Digweed back in 1997, Chris has gone on to consistently tour the globe over the past 8 years. A former resident of The Cross in London and Twilo in New York, he continues to split his time between the U.S. and the world circuit, covering all major territories in the process.

Chris' DJ roots can be traced back to Central Florida in the early 1990s. As one of the pioneers of a scene which mirrored the UK at the time, Chris held residencies at the legendary Aahz nights. These visionary nights served as a platform to bring Sasha and John Digweed to America for the first time, and establish an "Orlando" scene that would become the benchmark for the rest of the U.S in the subsequent years.

During the mid nineties, and as one of the first DJs to tour the country, Chris was one of the first to take advantage of the burgeoning U.S market. Keen to establish his production pedigree, he set up Fade Records and recorded under the same name. A string of hits for labels across the globe and as the pioneers of the extended remix, the "Fade Sanctuary" remixes became indispensable in every DJs box across the globe making Fade and Progressive house synonymous. No more was this the case than in 1998 with the release of Fade's remix of Delerium's "Silence." The track went on to become a worldwide chart hit, hitting number one in four countries including Australia.

As Chris' careers moves well into it's second decade, he continues to juggle his worldwide schedule with his solo production career, while heading back into the studio for his first international compilation for 2 years, compiling the 7th release in the acclaimed Balance CD Series. The future looks as bright as the past for the Nick Lachee look-a-like from New York.

because it's true :D

Well then I hope it will be a good mix. I wasn't too much into the Pappa mix.

You should know by now never to doubt the word of Progsounds :lol:

Progressive sounds has good reviews and good artist information. But I don't go to it enough for me to know this stuff. I try to sign up on the subscription e-mails but never get them.

BTW, when it comes to Progsounds. I thank them for helping me to enlighten myself within the music that I love. :wink:

:D

Good News. But it does not look like this will not for a while still. So until then it is probably just a silly rumour.

I'm pleased he's coming out with a cd...but come on, enough is enough. IMO, livesets are always better than distribution money makers.

I want to hear wants on the floor...not what's on the radio.

Re: Balance 007 - Chris Fortier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fucking awesome. I really hope Fortier holds nothing back on this release...

I thought steve porter was doing it..Well Fortier isn't bad either..

Re: Balance 007 - Chris Fortier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah whaz up with Porter he's long overdue to drop an album.

I heard his "Summer of Fun" album that was on slsk which was well...nothing special.

where can I find part 3?

No no, his Bedrock was off the hook... His Balance is where he jumps on the Ugly Tech House bandwagon. I hate it. Didnt even bother listening to cd3.

Re: Balance 007 - Chris Fortier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
