  • Alland Byallo will release his debut full-length on his own imprint, Nightlight, in late August. The San Francisco-based DJ/producer has been an integral part of the city's famed [KONTROL] crew, a team which has helped bring minimal techno to greater prominence in the area over the past number of years. Byallo, though, has been the highest profile producer of the group, and has finally completed his debut full-length. It's an album that, as Byallo tells it, documents the "different stages I've passed through as a person, people I've known, places I've been, tastes I've had and changed." Musically, that means you'll hear all manner of house and techno sub-genres filtered through Byallo's ears, including "deep house, techno, Detroit house, the tech-house-when-there-was-no-tech-house, drummy b-sides that felt like the better end of a hit a-side, dub, minimal and jazz" as well as two tracks with vocals, opener "Ring in the Dead" and "Rarebird." Tracklist 01. Ring in the Dead 02. Borderline 03. Rarebird 04. Simpler Times 05. Picture Heaven 06. The Hello Track 07. Bebring 08. War Zero 09. Recliner 10. Casual Sax feat. John Juster Nightlight Music will release Alland Byallo's Brick by Brick on August 27, 2009.
