David Lalla : Producer, Writer, Engineer, DJ that has produced
tracks for Narcotic, Rsenal, Trackmode, Riviera, Moonflower, SOM UK, and now
Stealth; going on 10
years in the scene and an underground house dj since 1986. Throughout the 90's
after high school, I started to make my move and with the help of some very good
friends. I broke into the NYC club scene and started playing sets at the Tunnel,
Esso's, Mars, Nells, The Shadow and many more. After spinning all over
the Tri-state area, I became curious as to how I could be a part of the industry
that I loved so much.
After meeting Junior Sanchez in 1991, we began to think
of different ways to achieve the challenge of making a record. When Junior
got his chance to exercise a studio connection, I attended all of his sessions
and
the rest is history. I've produced several deep house driven 12" releases
and I plan to do a whole lot more.
Born in Brooklyn, New York 1976. Product of a West Indian background and born
with one of the strongest passions for music. My father injected my first dose
of dance music a few days after I came home from the hospital. It was a 45 by
Lord Shorty entitled "Sweet Music". I grew up in a huge family where
everyone went out every Friday night and purchased records. My grandmother had
the largest collection and it was a joy to spend time with her every Saturday
afternoon listening to every kind of musical genre that existed. My Grandmother,
Lucile Lalla, is responsible for my eternal passion for music today. I eat, sleep,
breathe, and live music. Every day of my life is symbolic to a song. When she
passed away March 23, 1987, there was a tremendous void in my life. By that time
I had already had my second pair of turntables, but the motivation to continue
what I had started in February of 1986 was lost.
As a child, I spent many times recording tapes from various radio stations
such as Kiss, WBLS, Hot 103, 91.5 and recorded many master mixes. These tapes
drove
me to develop my talents as a musical conductor or DJ. At that time, Tony
Humphries was the undisputed master of music. No one could come close. He allowed
me
to conceptualize the art of musical blending. It was a musical kaleidoscope
that
was gleaming with sweet soul. I didn't go out Saturday nights in those
days; it was all about Glen Fricia from 8 to 10 on Hot 103 and Tony from 11
pm to 4 am on 98.7 Kiss FM.
Throughout my journeys in the world of dance music,
I have met many people and made a lot of close friends, most of whom are
my influences.
It is written in the good book that everyone has a special talent, so I
continue to stay driven and discover the full extent of what God has blessed
me with.
