The release comes ten years after the former DMC champion DJ first moved to London and unsurprisingly in impeccably mixed, in keeping with his habit of organising his record box in musical keys.
"Since I studied music theory at school, I've always found useful it to organise my record box in keys, which means that apart from matching the beats I can mix the music of two records together to create a harmony," Anthony told Skrufff with reference to his Resolutions CD for React, when it was released two years ago.
"It means you can have singing from one record and music from another and create an entirely new song."
"Being good at mixing doesn't necessarily mean you are the best DJ in the world though, because your choice of records is vital. You also need to judge your audience's mood," he added.
Balance 06 includes tracks and remixes from the likes of Slacker, Shpongle (Simon Posford & Raja Ram), Chris Salt and Rennie Pilgrim and is released on May 24.
