Wally Callerio’s interest in music was sparked off in 1988 at the young age of 14 when he got his first pair of turntables. With in 7 years at the age of 21 he was fortunate enough to be involved in one of Los Angeles most memorable house music events, a party called “Love” which he continued to do so until 1999. His favorite moments were playing Doc Martins B-day party at Fabric London in 2002 as well as consistently playing for Dj Sneaks Birthday events between 2001’- 09’ in Toronto and LA. It’s a special feeling to be asked to play such meaningful events by the DJ’s he has always respected. With over 20 years experience of Djing and 13 years of production under his belt he is sure to please any crowd.
Wally’s Label founded in 1998 by the name of Dufflebag Recordings has become a long time staple in underground house music community featuring artist such as Natural Rhythm, JT Donaldson, Lance Desardi, CubanPete, Guided Methods, Vibezelect, Vibe Travelers, Cory Wells, Jah Ques and Wally himself..
This same mantra of quality over quantity has also been the focus of Wally’s own productions, an attribute that is evident when listening to his body of work. With past releases dating back over a decade featured on Alluv, Aroma, Classic, Electrik Soul, Magnetic, and Panhandle.
In 2004 his love of music led him to build one of the first dance music download sites Digibag.com. At that time digibag.com was the 17th digital download site on internet and the first to offer .wav quality files. He has since pulled down the site for a complete overhaul due out 09’
