Alland Byallo has crafted ten unique tracks for the mighty UK imprint. Bones, Flesh stands out for its distinctive vibe and groove. From the opening track Looking Long to the closing Singularity the album stirs and flexes, flies and touches down with elan, sounding raw, alive, organic and original all though. All the while being a record that moves the mind and the body from start to finish. More

Allez! Real Tone is back with another fresh new EP, full of deep flavours from two underground rebels. As always we're focused on the highest quality and the best music, regardless of genre, regardless of style and most definitely not concerned with the latest trends. Our man at the controls for this journey into the depths of electronic music is Alland Byallo, a Los Angeles-born producer who really hit his stride while living in San Franscisco. It was there where he became one of the team behind the west coast city's legendary Kontrol parties, along with Sammy D from Pillow Talk, Greg Bird, Nikola Baytala, and Craig Kuna. The seminal events gained all promoters worldwide notoriety and helped Alland to evolve his style. He's currently residing in Berlin where, of course, he's really found himself musically so consider this new EP a cocktail of West Coast USA meets Berlin. A product of Alland's melting pot upbringing, yet oh-so-cohesive and built for dancefloor workouts, as proven by his outings on labels such as Liebe* Detail, Poker Flat, Dirt Crew and now Real Tone Records. On Got It Wrong, Alland combines punchy beats with an infallible bassline, sturdy and energetic though not too imposing Allowing the other elements of the track to do their work. Subtle synths bashfully creep into the fray, join by jaunty whirrs which appear in the distance and a vocal that slowly but surely evolves, along with the track. Mesmerising twinkles dance around the bassline and the vocals reaching a crescendo, which pulls you into a faultless breakdown keeping you hungry for more before it delivers the ultimate understated drop. The track is over ten minutes, yet it feels like half that time, which is a credit to Alland's superlative production skills. Deep house aficienado Alex Alvarez steps up for a remix and switches it up properly. Whereas Alland's original used its slow yet steady evolution to create an engaging groove, Alvarez injects some verve into the track with irresistable 4x4 beats, a repeated, spliced up vocal and a bassline that will have even the most uptight raver shaking their hips like there's no tomorrow. Says Alex, 'I figured I could add something really nice by chopping up the vocals and other parts and put some of my NY/LA Flavor in there. Wanted it to be a bit ruff and more tracky but still keep the coolness of Alland's original vibe. Just kept it simple and not over do it keeping the groove right in the pocket.' Too true! So there you have it, two different versions of the same sublime, groovy number. Take your pick, but rest assured, you're Selecting quality all the way. Another Real Tone classic in the making!

The “Turn You Up” EP is a truly versatile EP. The title song, “Turn You Up,” is a future classic in the making. Modern organic percussion, trippy pulsating pads, and subtle organs grow into a sampledelic house gem. The flip side, “Blessing Box,” is a deeper tech house exploration. Atmospheric tones and cathedral reverbs moan and wash your ears into submission. Just let go. More

Remixes from the wildly in-demand techno trio dOP. dOP drops a spacey, acid-laced, psychedelic monster. Finally >Open Windows< Byallo s other original piece, pays homage to the past with a look towards the future, this bass-heavy techno/house tune opens with an old-school build-up then chugs along accented by an ethereal vocal and energetic stabs designed to get the dance floor moving.

A Eduardo de la Calle - The Protosoul
AA XDB - Another Night
B Joey Anderson - Drum Play
BB Moody Waters Feat. Carolina Damas - Acid Lovin’Press Release
London’s Release/Sustain imprint returns this April with a four-track package featuring material from Eduardo De La Calle, XDB, Joey Anderson Moody Waters feat. Carolina Damas.
The Release/Sustain imprint has gone from strength to strength over the years, welcoming the likes of Alton Miller, DJ Aakmael, Benjamin Brunn, Losoul, Norm Talley and many more respected names in underground house and techno over its past twenty nine releases.
Here we see this continue with some more welcome additions, first up is Eduardo De La Calle with ‘The Protosoul’ and as always the Spanish artist offers up a perfectly crafter slice of hazy, groove-driven Techno, led by bleepy arps, winding stabs and robust analogue rhythms. XDB then offers up heady, subtly blooming leads, pulsing subs and shuffled drums with ‘Another Night’ next.
Opening the flip is New York’s Joey Anderson with ‘Drum Play’ which as the name suggest sees the percussive aspects dynamically evolve throughout amongst choppy bass hits, stutter arpeggio blips and warm string melodies. Moody Waters then teams up with Carolina Damas, vocalist on anthemic house cut ‘Sueno Latino’ for ‘Acid Lovin’’, edging into deeper territory with ethereal pads, crunchy drums and squelching 303 licks while Damas’ soft, spoken-word Latin vocals wander within.
