RA.EX061 KONTROL
27 October 2011
Resident Advisor interviews Alland Byallo and Sammy D about their work in KONTROL, one of San Francisco's best known techno parties, on RA Exchange 061.
They write: "[KONTROL] run one of the best parties in San Francisco in one of the city's best venues. The five-strong crew have been taking over The End Up for more than six years now. Luminaries like Speedy J, Daniel Bell and Dixon are just a few of the DJs that have graced the decks there. But Alland Byallo, Sammy D, Nikola Baytala and Craig Kuna are no slouches either. Each has their own individual concerns—Byallo is prepping a new label called Bad Animal, D is part of the rising trio Pillow Talk for instance—but it's when they come together that things seem to work best. In between Sammy's story of how he nearly got banned from the club for life, we charted the past, present and future of the party earlier this month in Berlin."
