[KONTROL] brings the finest in minimal techno and forward-thinking house music to San Francisco every month, with an emphasis on live performances. Widely regarded as one of the best, most notorious techno monthlies in the US, Craig and Alland have been defining the sound of San Fran for almost 5 years.
We're combining the sound of [KONTROL], the production quality you know from Humanaut + Hijack, and the legendary former space of Pegasus for one memorable night.
About Alland:
Alland Byallo is one of the busiest men in the San Francisco Techno community. Having produced electronic music for over 10 years (and DJ’d for nearly as long) Alland come to be an international DJ and producer, releasing music on respected US and European record labels such as Liebe*Detail, Floppy Funk, Dirtybird, and Utensil Recordings, and headlining events on both sides of the country. 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 labels like Universal and Proton Music.
As owner of Nighlight Music and resident, designer and A&R for [KONTROL], Alland has quickly grown to be one of the most in-demand Techno talents that SF has to offer.
About Craig:
Hailing from the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Craig found his early tastes in music heavily influenced by the environment that surrounded him. His influences of hard-edged music initially turned his ears towards the gritty sounds of D’n'B and Detroit Techno as his passion for the beat flourished. Within a few years, Craig sold his guitar, bass, and amps to buy his first set of 1200’s. He started off playing breakbeats and D’n'B, but soon after found his art in techno, due to it’s complexity and his ability to create longer mixes with more minimal tracks. Soon after, in the wake of a burgeoning rave scene, he decided it was time to introduce other people to the music he loved and played, and in 1998, at the ripe old age of 19, he threw his first event.
In the years to come Craig continued to host events, from small club after-hours to 5000 person warehouse raves, bringing the likes of Green Velvet, The Stickmen, Mike Dearborn, Marco Carola, Funk’ D’void, Slam, and H-Foundation to name a few. After relocating to San Francisco in 2001 in an effort to broaden his horizons, he started to get more into house music, or as people so often call it, he became “San Francsicanized.” The result: [KONTROL] and a host of remixes on Mothership and blipswitch.
