Born in Los Angeles, Alland began his musical journey at a young age. Trying his hand at piano and trumpet as a young boy and influenced by the experimental electronic sounds of the early 90s, Alland grew captivated with the world of dance music, began experimenting with basic production and eventually bought his first pair of turntables. While working at WAX Records, LA’s now defunct authority on dance music, Alland’s tastes matured, and a move to San Francisco in 2003 saw Alland’s star rise quickly; while in SF, Alland honed his talents DJ-ing at respected venues stateside and overseas, started his own an underground dance music label named Nightlight Music and launched one of California’s most inspired techno-focused nightclub events, the monthly [KONTROL] party. Gaining global attention producing gems for definitive record labels such as Poker Flat, Liebe*Detail, Real Tone, and Dirt Crew, by the time he garnered four stars from influential web-based dance music magazine Resident Advisor for his original full-length album release, Brick By Brick (2009), Alland’s devotion to the techno-house sound was plain to see and his fate as one of dance music’s major talents was reasonably sealed. At the same time, Alland’s ongoing DJ residency at San Francisco’s legendary [KONTROL] party found him sharing the stage with a roster of talent that reads like a who’s who in underground house and techno, leading to a solid demand for him at dance music gatherings around the globe – often as a headliner at renowned events and venues like Berlin’s Panoramabar, Watergate, Bar25, Cookies and Tresor, Munich’s Harry Klein, Brazil’s D-Edge, Tokyo’s La Fabrique, America’s Smartbar, Decibel and Detroit Movement Festival among many others. Byallo’s 2010 relocation to Berlin inspired an expansion of horizons and focus not only on DJing and producing but also label management, with the launch of Bad Animal. The label has been exploring the more intimate side of dance music, cultivating productions from Alland and a close-knit group of friends. 2015 saw the release of his acclaimed sophomore full length on the highly respected Third Ear Recordings imprint. The release showed a more expressive, exprimental side of his productions, and has begun to pave the road to more daring and artistic musical exploits. Now, after an illustrious, twenty year strong career as a globe-trotting DJ all while living the one-two punch creative life as a designer for both dance music-related and corporate clients, Byallo spends his days and nights channeling unwavering commitment to dance music culture, both as a music producer and an art director. Byallo has since launched his own personal creative playground, the Full Bleed Sound imprint, a label that focuses on Deep House and jazzy broken beat sounds.
