Featured artist MADlines!
Oakland rapper, #MADlines,’ musical evolution has led her to become what very few artists in any genre can claim, which is not only a voice of change in her community but an active agent of it as well. Drawing from an arsenal of influences, her music is crafted for every part of the soul!
Currently, MADlines teaches creative writing classes to incarcerated teens in San Francisco at the Juvenile Justice Center while simultaneously releasing projects such as her new EP, Word Play.
DJ AGANA
Vanessa Espinoza, known as "DJ AGANA", "con ganas" means ones motivation, drive, desire and ambition to hungrily accomplish any task, she is an aerosol artist and a digital audiovisual specialist with a background in jewelry metal arts.
Agana has been a member of Few and Far Women since it originated in 2011 and has painted annually with the talented movement in the Wynwood Art District of Miami Art Basel.
Agana is a member of TDK, The Dream Krew, originated in Oakland during the early 80's by Mike Francisco "Dream". She was the singular female to be paint the battle word "dream" in the 2013 Estria Invitational Graffiti Battle.
Her goal is to reach endless audiences with visual landscapes that cultivate art for thought and action by visually raising current issues and topics that tell untold stories from a female perspective of resilience.
DJ Thatgirl
Analog Nostalgia, Digital Nouveau....
Since 1997, ThatGirl has been moving dancefloors with an exquisite blend of beats, spanning across a variety of music genres. She has rocked crowds from coast to coast while still maintaining an organic, original appeal. Using music as a tool for transformation, she first gained widespread attention with the release of "Summer Love", a mix which seamlessly covered multiple genre's of music while still maintaining a deeply emotive theme and rhythmic consistency. Reveling in the type of music that brings the listener back to the soul, she paints musical soundscapes of raw emotion, playing sets that convey pure feeling, where time becomes nonexistent and the spirit becomes helplessly captivated by the groove.
Her diverse sets have landed her gigs for a vast array of events and venues. She has shared the stage and opened up for acts and artists such as Yuna, Raphael Saddiq, Electric Wire Hustle, Goapele, Quadron, Sonny Moon, Tortured Soul, Aloe Blacc, J*Davey, Rich Medina, Mark De Clive-Lowe, Daz-I-Kue, KRS One, Mystic, Van Hunt, MC Lyte, Medusa, Atmosphere, and Samantha Ronson.
DJ Lady Ryan
Upon her arrival, Lady Ryan connects instantaneously to her audience. Her music rides the crowd's nostalgia effortlessly weaving old songs with the new. Due to her charm and immeasurable talent, she has easily become a Bay Area favorite, DJing and singing at major LGBT events like SF and Oakland Pride since 2007 and many clubs in both cities. Currently, she holds residence in Oaklands' premiere club Parliament, along with The Legionnaire, The RockSteady, Jupiter in Berkeley and Lil Baobab in SanFrancisco.
Lady Ryan is unique in that she is known for her eclectic taste in tunes and spellbinding voice. From Jazz to House, the flux of distinctive sounds she so graceful sets beside one another make for a brilliant movement within the crowd. Lady Ryan is determined to ignite a fire within the industry and continue to carve her name into its history.
