Hi. It’s Mid August already!?. Tonight we have 2 excellent selectors from Philadelphia. @billa & @david-alexander-music..I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing live sets from both gents on more than one occasion.. whether it be Spaced Out /Sonic Garden or a Guest set where ever they happen to be booked, I walk away inspired. Tune into tonight 12AM-3AM and hear what I’m talking about. Streaming on WOMR.ORG

Bio: BiLla -An artist who has always seen music as an expression of feeling more than a genre. Which curated a collective mindset from an early age to his beloved sound. His exploration began as a drummer in many bands which expanded into a turntablist now for almost 30yrs. He has held residencies in Prague along with various city’s like Albuquerque, Santa Fe, San Francisco and San Diego. He resides now in the Philadelphia area where he is a resident of The Trestle Inn for 7 yrs, along with a partner in the Spaced Out and Sonic Garden events. He is part of the Great Circles online events and various shows on The Lot Radio for 2MR Transmissions. DJing has always been an art to his expression. As the party has always been about the people and a DJ is the soundtrack to it.

Basics w/ BiLla - 10DEC2024

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!
