Alland Byallo ( Kontrol - SF )

The SF Bay Guardian called Alland Byallo "San Francisco's very own tidal wave of techno", and for good reason.
Alland is one of the busiest men in the San Francisco techno community.

Having produced electronic music for over 10 years and DJing for nearly as long Alland come to be an international talent, releasing original material and remixes on respected US and European record labels such as Liebe*Detail, Floppy Funk, Utensil Recordings and Dirtybird among many others, and head- lining events all over. His music, a blend of old and new elements of techno, house and minimal, is regularly charted and has been licensed to CD’s released by Universal, OM Records, Proton Music and Airdrop Music.

Alland’s involvement with music didn’t just start from splurging and buying some 1200’s. Having been raised with music since the age of 5 playing piano, and adding trumpet at age 11, it only seemed natural for Alland to follow up his skills and training by sharing his taste in quality music with people as a DJ, and pursuing production.

Alland is always quite busy in the studio working hard on his own unique take on electronic dance music for his own Nightlight Music imprint and many other labels. In 2006 Alland founded ElektrUS. This private forum is made specifically to increase European interest in the American minimal techno / tech-house scene. By providing a simple, central and easy means of communication, ElektrUS streamlines the booking process and maximizes the productivity of tour booking ventures. The hope is to make the US a more fun and respectable place for the techno community, and a more profitable venture for European talent and agents. This forum was a large part of successful US techno bookings in 2007 and 2008, and is set to help more in the coming years.

Not only is Alland a resident, graphic designer and A&R for what is arguably the States’ most respected and notorious techno night, [KONTROL], he is also booked regularly as the opening act for influences such as Superpitcher, Trentemøller, Michael Mayer, Booka Shade, M.A.N.D.Y., Swayzak, Miss Kittin, Modeselektor, Claude VonStroke, Jeff Samuel, Heartthrob, Redshape, Ambivalent and many others. Alland has quickly grown to be one of the most in-demand Techno talents that SF has to offer.

Among many great parties, 2007 saw Alland performing live at Seattle‘s Decibel Festival and DJing at Lovefest in San Francisco. In 2008 Alland played a fantastic DJ set on the Beatport Stage at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF Movement), a DJ performance at Decibel 2008, and played a successful European tour including gigs at such world famous clubs as Panoramabar in Berlin and Propoganda Moscow. His recent tour of Europe saw him play rockin sets and building goodwill at such illustrious clubs as Harry Klein in Munich, Week End club Berlin, Uebel & Gefährlich and Kubik in Hamburg, and Cyprus' infamous Klub D. And now with his full-length album Brick By Brick due out this summer it’s obvious that the future looks bright for both him and his label, Nightlight Music.


Recess ( Shameless, Broken Disco - SEA )

Raised on the industrial, new wave, and pop music of the time, in the late 80's Recess found his second home at the now defunct Club Underground in Seattle's University District. Using these early experiences as a platform, he started collecting records and honing his skills at various clubs around the Northwest; quickly establishing himself as a formidable performer. Recess is the main force behind Shameless in Seattle (responsible for Broken Disco, Electric Avenue, BootyLIB, the Official Decibel Festival afterparties and numerous other local one offs with artists such as Modeselektor, Drop the Lime, Egyptian Lover, Para One, Godfather, Surkin & Tittsworth) and he continues to turn heads with his unique take on dance music. He's played alongside heavy hitters such as Modeselektor, Green Velvet, Felix Da Housecat, Damian Lazarus, MSTRKRFT, John Tejada, DJ Assault, Ewan Pearson, Zombie Nation, Alex Smoke and could quite easily be caught playing electro/discopunk at one club, bmore club/ghetto tech at another, or techno/house/breaks depending upon the crowd and party. A leader in Seattle's electronic community, his versatility has led to being nominated in 2006 for the Seattle Weekly's Best Local DJ contest. Currently, he's been instrumental in bringing back Broken Disco 2.0 and also holds a DJ residency at Club Pop which is one of Seattle's most popular 18+ club nights. Whether it's an afterhours loft space, major club, mountaintop, or random BASSment; Recess consistently brings the sounds and energy to fit any dance party.

Robb Green ( Shameless - SF )

Robb came of age at the close of the eighties and the birth of the nineties. He was largely influenced at the time by the likes of bands such as Nine Inch Nails,
Tribe Called Qwest, The Cure and Operation Ivy.

But the story really begins when Robb moved to Atlanta and was truly exposed to both the Atlanta hip-hop and rave scenes. Robb first started messing around with hip-hop records in 1995. He then found himself in Bend, OR where big beat and techno music pleased his ears. A constant record hound he began collecting all types of dance music, and fusing them together.

In 1999 Robb moved to Seattle and discovered the vibrant house scene there and was hooked. In 2001, Robb was picked up by Tilted Records and found his very own true love, tech-house. With a label standing behind him and a record store at his disposal, he dove head first into his new passion. In 2003, Robb met Recess and all things Shameless while running his afterhours spot, Nightcap. He quickly took to the Shameless attitude, finally feeling what had be missing from his musical taste, things more edgy and down right dirty. Moving to San Francisco in 2005, Robb was quickly drawn into the underground scene, playing underground warehouse parties.

Robb loves making the dance floor sweat, and is known for his innovative sets melding multiple musical styles.



Jen Woolfe ( Shameless - SF )
Making Dance Floors Sticky Since 2001


A Seattle to San Francisco transplant, Jen Woolfe has been making dance floors sticky along the West Coast since 2001. From Intimate Ambient Breaks to Elegant Electro House, Jen's sounds are deep, dirty and a little tongue-in-cheek. She'll have you laughing in one moment and leave you seduced, sipping on your soul the next. Stay tuned till the end of her set, there's always a story to tell.

Jen began her DJ career in 2001, after realizing her favorite spot on the dance floor was 2 feet away from the DJ booth, watching the hands of every Deep and Tech House DJ to visit her hometown of Seattle. Soon after she picked up Deep Dish's Global Underground, she made the move to Progressive House, a genre that succumbs to her seductive style and intimate journeys. In 2005 she returned to her Alt-Rock roots by fusing dance, rock & new school breaks and tinting her style with elegant electro.

Jen's versatility allows her to play any time of night at any venue, always served with style. Her desire to bring together diverse communities under one groove has helped her to be one of the most loved and devoted DJ's on the West Coast. Jen has played at venues across the U.S., including Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, Las Vegas, Reno, Vancouver B.C., Boston, Boise, Idaho Falls, Grand Junction CO and Black Rock City, NV. She is currently an affiliate of Shameless SF. Listen to mixes and read about her adventures at http://www.jenwoolfe.com.
