BALA

Born and raised in Barcelona, BALA is a Drum & Bass DJ and producer who has quickly become one of the most prominent emerging figures in the Spanish scene. He began DJing at the end of 2022 and, within just six months, was recognized in the Netherlands as one of the Top 10 DJs in a tournament with over 210 participants, organized by Liquicity, the country’s biggest Drum & Bass label and festival.

By the end of 2023, he started producing music and, in less than a year, landed his first release as a producer, signing with an international label—Liquicity once again. In August 2024, he performed internationally for the first time at High Tea Festival in Amsterdam. In 2025, he signed with the renowned promoter and label DnB Allstars for an upcoming release and is set to perform at Liquicity Festival 2025, becoming the first Spanish artist in history to do so.

His most notable production, “Falling Away” featuring British vocalist Amber Jay, has surpassed 100,000 streams within just five months of its release.
Despite the short span of his career, BALA has already shared lineups with heavyweights such as 1991, Mefjus, MUZZ, Vibe Chemistry, Subsonic, Tantrum Desire, Alcemist, and more.

BALA is also known as the founder of Automata Drum & Bass (www.automatamusic.com), an event promoter and record label launched in early 2024. In just one year, it has become Barcelona’s leading Drum & Bass promoter, hosting international top-tier artists. As a label, Automata has already surpassed 500,000 streams across all platforms, providing opportunities to artists from all over Spain and emerging talents worldwide—earning it growing international recognition and leading to collaborations with major organizations in the scene.
