Sonar is a stage name of Gratas Sparnauskas, California, San Francisco based musician and visual designer from Vilnius, Lithuania. An artist that pushes his sound beyond his musical comfort in attempt to create innovative music, departing from the norm and crossing various musical influences to achieve his elaborate sound palette. Always learning how to better express himself through music, in his production and his DJ sets, Sonar intends to create energetic, bass heavy, rich sounds with emotive and melodic soundscapes.
Performing in front of crowds for nearly a decade now, his sound is deeply rooted in genres such as: Hip-Hop, Reggae, Funk, Retro, Jazz, UK Garage and House. Once discovering the energetic break of Jungle in 2002, ever since, drum and bass has become a way of life. A resident DJ of San Francisco’s renowned Stamina Sundays from 2011-2013, since, Gratas has dedicated time for developing and fine-tuning his technical production skills that have been finally catching up with his creative abilities. After completing his Recordings Arts studies and nearing the completion of his B.S. degree, Sonar continues to innovate and grow as an artist and a musical performer.
While still endeavoring, his debut single “Dark Matter” featuring rapper and vocalist “Joe Mousepad” is ready to be released in late November of 2014 via local San Francisco/Bay Area drum and bass label “Elevated Press Records”. With his eyes on 2015, Sonar is set for a breakthrough year.

For over a decade Kinetik has been laying down energetic beats that stay true to his moniker. Introduced to electronic music in high school by way of local radio shows, he quickly realized that he wanted to be more than a bystander in the scene. After attending undergrounds and raves for a few years he began frequenting the weekly and monthly drum and bass events in SF, substituting mix cds for business cards, and since then has become a regular face on the drum & bass DJ circuit throughout the bay area. Originally recognized for his harder, techier leanings musically, Kinetik’s repertoire has expanded so as his sets effortlessly traverse numerous spectrums of drum & bass. What’s consistent is a driving groove, smooth transitions and a respect for classics that’s well served by his persistent adherence to playing vinyl.

Kimba is a fresh face behind the decks and has been bringing a storm of energy to her DJ career since it took flight in 2010. Kimba has graced the decks with her warrior-like presence throughout California from her home in San Francisco to San Diego, Los Angeles and Humboldt to Lake Tahoe and Reno, Nevada. Kimba brings a sound best described as Elegant Warrior Breaks, Drum & Bass & Techno ~ a fusion of Sweet and Heavy sounds programmed to take you on a journey through every mix. She brings deep dark bass lines intertwined with melodic and musical themes to touch a cord in every dancer.
From the young age of 17, Kimba has been involved in the San Francisco Bay Area Electronic Music scene as a Promoter and now DJ for clubs, undergrounds, renegades, and festivals spanning over California. First turned on by the sweet jazzy sounds of deep house music, she eventually discovered the broken beat and has been in love ever since. Kimba always finds a way to incorporate the musical and instrumental nature of her first influences into the heavy forces of bass, breakbeats, drum & bass and even techno. She truly loves this music and community and is always stoked to play any gig, from a small party to a super club, a 10,000 person street faire or a radio show. Getting people onto the dance floor and seeing smiling, dancing people is really what makes her happy to be a DJ.

A self-proclaimed "Mad Scientist" on the decks, Corrine puts the MIX back into DJing. This East Bay native only DJs her own edits, showing no track any mercy, giving her a no BS style that will always keep you guessing and begging for more. She comes from a classically trained musical background, a punk rock past, and a sick obsession with pop culture, making her DJ sets nothing short of epic. Corrine is a trained hip hop dancer, studied saxophone and percussion in college, and even spent some time doing freelance rock journalism in Los Angeles.
Don't be fooled by the short skirt and fishnets, this girl can geek out with the best of them. She has a vast knowledge of old school Hip Hop and Top 40, which allows her to please even the most basic club goers urge to get down. Disco obsessed and procuring a never-ending influence from Break Beat music, she makes everything that comes out of the speakers something funky. She has gone on tour playing Moombahton and Dubstep. Her Booty Bass & Trap music sets will put to shame even the most hardcore Bros on the decks. In House and Electro, she nails the art of eb and flow, bringing people to climax with the most epic melodies and filthiest baselines around. Everywhere she goes she dazzles audiences with her ability to mix.
But recently she really found her calling when she tackled the world of Drum & Bass. From Jungle to Jump-Up, from Liquid to Ragga this badass lady doesn't mess around when it comes to DnB. Whether it's her love of rolling baselines or her ear for syncopated drumbeats, she delivers an engaging range of music, schooling even the most elite music lovers. Whatever the genre, she never hesitates to bring the house down wherever she goes.
Recently she has teamed up with Drum and Bass diva MC Miss Haze to form the duo BITCH PLZ making a dynamic stage show that is in high demand. She is a resident Dj at Shelter, SF's longest running Drum & Bass weekly, and DYSTOPIA, a Drum & Bass monthly in Oakland. She rocks a STAR WARS tattoo which makes her hard to miss, she is "The Rebel With The Treble," and she rocks every party dropping mad science on the dance floor.

Corrine is a trained hip hop dancer, studied saxophone and percussion in college, and even spent some time doing freelance rock journalism in Los Angeles.
Don't be fooled by the short skirt and fishnets, this girl can geek out with the best of them. She has a vast knowledge of old school Hip Hop and Top 40, which allows her to please even the most basic club goers urge to get down. Disco obsessed and procuring a never-ending influence from Break Beat music, she makes everything that comes out of the speakers something funky. She has gone on tour playing Moombahton and Dubstep. Her Booty Bass & Trap music sets will put to shame even the most hardcore Bros on the decks. In House and Electro, she nails the art of eb and flow, bringing people to climax with the most epic melodies and filthiest baselines around. Everywhere she goes she dazzles audiences with her ability to mix.
But recently she really found her calling when she tackled the world of Drum & Bass. From Jungle to Jump-Up, from Liquid to Ragga this badass lady doesn't mess around when it comes to DnB. Whether it's her love of rolling baselines or her ear for syncopated drumbeats, she delivers an engaging range of music, schooling even the most elite music lovers. Whatever the genre, she never hesitates to bring the house down wherever she goes.
Recently she has teamed up with Drum and Bass diva MC Miss Haze to form the duo BITCH PLZ making a dynamic stage show that is in high demand. She is a resident Dj at Shelter, SF's longest running Drum & Bass weekly, and DYSTOPIA, a Drum & Bass monthly in Oakland. She rocks a STAR WARS tattoo which makes her hard to miss, she is "The Rebel With The Treble," and she rocks every party dropping mad science on the dance floor.
