PLAYPOD 12.02 DJ Byron Bonsall (SFO) ----- DJ Byron Bonsall Website: http://www.djbyron.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/DJ-Byron-Bonsall/144964828892578? Growing up in rural Nebraska tends to make one’s musical interest lean a certain way. But even at a young age, Byron knew there was more to music than what he heard on the local country western radio stations. It was in junior high that Byron DJ’d his first dance with his cousin. Even then his eclectic taste in music came out (Star Wars Theme by Meco anyone?).

After a year of immersing himself in San Francisco's vibrant nightlife Steve bought a pair of Technics turntables off of Craigslist and began crafting his own unique sound that incorporates elements of vocal, disco, tribal, and progressive house with occasional forays into techno and trance.
