Mix Download: Alland Byallo on Process

It's been a while since I gave a shout out to the excellent Modyifier blog from local designer and techno aficionado Rayna Di Nord. More than just another music blogger, Rayna is interested in the creative process that people bring to producing music and DJing, and each Process mix is also a reflection by the artist on that process. Through personal solicitation and referrals from other artists Rayna has amassed 107 mixes from locals like yours truly, Lord Kook (as Glowfish), C.L.A.W.S,, and Mochipet, as well as international names like popnoname, Scratch Massive, Pharrel, and more. There's hours of music here, and lots to read and think about. A highly recommended way to spend some time at work.

The most recent Process mix: Alland Byallo of Kontrol.

Mix to Download: Glowfish Mini-Mod EP

The boyfriend, aka DJ Lord Kook, has just released his first EP under the name of Glowfish (the myspace is here, and the actual website where you can download the EP is here). Entitled "The Mini-Mod EP," it all started back in August with an invitation to contribute to the modyfier blog - you can read the whole story there. It's four tracks that he describes thusly:

"Drawing from elements of down tempo, trip-hop, minimal techno, and shoe gazer, the Glowfish project aims to create a thoughtfully immersive listening experience, perfect for late nights after the club, or long walks through windy cities. "

It's a continuous mix EP, but if you want single tracks for playing out or, dare I hope, remix purposes, you can send him an email and he'll be happy to oblige.

This has been four months of hard work and me hardly seeing him while he worked all this out, so if you like it, please let us both know that it was all worth it.
