UnderDeep – Balinese Kiss Summer mix from chino vv
There are moments when music becomes more than sound — when it becomes a mirror of the journey you’re on…
Carrying pieces of the places you’ve touched, the people you’ve met, and the emotions that linger in between. Balinese Kiss, the 105th podcast instalment, is one such moment.

Chino’s story unfolds between two very different worlds: the Adriatic shores of Croatia, where music and friendship intertwine under the summer sun, and the tranquil embrace of Indonesia, where a slower rhythm of life invites reflection.
The title, Balinese Kiss, draws from a tradition in Bali symbolising harmony and solidarity — a gentle reminder that connection is at the core of everything we seek.
From the first beat, this mix breathes with calm assurance. The grooves are deep yet unhurried, vocals glide like waves brushing the shore, and every transition feels like a mindful exhale. Chino crafts the set with a sense of stillness at its centre — not the absence of movement, but the serenity of flow.
The selections weave soulful house with Afro-electronic textures, balancing hypnotic basslines with voices that stir something tender. It’s a soundtrack for inner journeys: music that grounds you in the present moment while carrying you across unseen distances.
The tracklist reads like a constellation of soulful storytellers: Da Capo & Mpho.Wav, Crackazat, Oscar Mbo, Artwork Sounds, Masaki Morii, Omar, Miranda Nicole, Cee ElAssaad, and more. Each contributes a shade of feeling — from warmth and intimacy to depth and expansiveness. Together, they create a soundscape that is both communal and deeply personal.
“What makes Balinese Kiss resonate is its sense of balance. It’s as comfortable soundtracking a sunset by the sea as it is accompanying a quiet moment at home. The mix doesn’t demand; it invites. It doesn’t overwhelm; it opens space.
Like the tradition it borrows its name from, the mix carries a quiet power in its simplicity — an offering of peace, unity, and shared humanity through rhythm and voice.”
For those who come to house music not only for its pulse but also for its capacity to heal and connect, Balinese Kiss is a reminder of why we return to the dance again and again. It’s not about escape — it’s about finding a truer presence, both with ourselves and with each other.
UnderDeep 105 is more than a mix. It is a meditation, a meeting point, a kiss carried across continents.
Press play, breathe deep, and let the journey unfold.
