First things first

Hello
I, hereby, announce that The Radio Balance starts officially now and I promise we will try our best to keep it enjoyable for both You all and us few. My name is Pawel Zieciowski, I am going to be the main editor of the content and the main DJ for Balance at the same time. Slawek (Slawomir Hess), my friend, will make sure nothing collapses whilst we use the server and the website. The rest of the collaborators, whom I shall introduce later (if we find anyone really interested), is going to tell you what they actually do when they finally actually do it.
It’s a huge pleasure for me to be here and welcome you to this new, exciting and, hopefully, somehow innovative project. Radio Balance is an idea behind listening to the music in a non-conservative, curious way. Having been in the industry for over five years I learnt that you truly should not dismiss anything that you don’t know well yet or you just must not ignore an entire genre as a whole only because you don’t like some of it. That you have to have your mind open, that the music needs to be a joy first of all, regardless of your tastes or prejudices. And I believe it can work, we just have to want to open our ears for new things, we simply have to start the first things first all over again and go back to the basics sometimes.
Radio Balance will, I hope, represent our wishful ‘make love- not war’ thinking the best way possible via playing plenty of unknown, little-known, missed, forgotten or underestimated in our opinion melodies. There will be some mainstream, commercial or chart stuff as well though, simply because a lot of it is just good and we definitely don’t want to fight with some imaginary windmills as a result of an over-educated, semi-scientific and clearly too ambitious attitude to one of the greatest entertainments of our lives, which is music. We are going to be critical, don’t take me wrong, we’re not going to play anything for just a sake of it, we surely are selective. But, just to close this, already well over-analytical, manifesto, the main factor of our choice is going to remain in the right balance of it all, a common sense and most importantly the joy of hearing something good. That is what Radio Balance says – now, at last, it’s time to play. Enjoy it
Pawel
