Philadelphia-born, globally inspired - BiLla redefines the art of DJing.

Prepare to journey into a realm where music transcends genres and speaks directly to the soul.

BiLla, a masterful curator of sound and emotion, has spent over three decades sculpting auditory landscapes that captivate and inspire. From his roots as a musically trained drummer in Philadelphia's vibrant music scene, where he became the rhythmic heartbeat for numerous bands, BiLla’s path led him to embrace synthesis and the art of DJing as a form of creative expression.
With residencies spanning cities such as Prague, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, San Diego, and his hometown of Philadelphia, BiLla’s impact on the global electronic scene is undeniable.

His love for music knows no boundaries, seamlessly blending avant-garde electronic elements, melodic electro, acid-tinged textures, and percussive rhythms to create captivating sonic narratives.
Whether performing at The Lot Radio, hosting his monthly Basics show at Philly’s beloved Great Circles, or being a partner in the Sonic Garden events and Portland Maines Awesome Vibes Club, BiLla’s work resonates deeply with those who listen.

For BiLla, music is more than sound - it’s an emotional journey.
With each set, he crafts a unique soundtrack, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a universe of rhythm and melody, driven by passion and a relentless pursuit of artistic expression.

Whatchawannado (With this Blue Ruin)

When I first met BiLla, I was at the legendary DIY venue 52 hz in West Philadelphia. I got to the party early, and was really engaged with BiLla's opening set for the evening. It was a tasteful blend of classic House and Techno I had no frame of reference for. His selection was completely un-ShaZamable, which made it ever the more novel.

About a year later, I was record shopping at Brewerytown Beats and recognized him. I decided to finally introduce myself. The conversation was uplifting, considering I had no idea how vast his musical knowledge and experience extended, and we both lived in close proximity! I had then kept BiLla on my radar as someone with great taste and good vibes.

Before COVID hit, BiLla was a mainstay and a great source for anyone who wanted to experience a musical journey with his residency at the Trestle Inn. If you've ever been to the Trestle Inn, it's a tucked away, time warp of a venue off the beaten path between Northern Liberties and Chinatown. It's a worthwhile destination spot, and the times I have seen BiLla spin, it's clear this was his domain of expertise, and he knew how to tell a story all night long, entirely on vinyl!

Please enjoy this month's Ancient Puzzle Arts mix BiLla contributed. It's a very tension-and-release blend of breaks, IDM, Detroit techno and electro, all on vinyl, in an impressive 2 hour mix!
