Ana Sia’s love of electronic music combined with an innate understanding of the value of dance to the human soul collectively fuse to create unforgettable sets of experience, whether she is slamming spots in her hometown of San Francisco or taking her turn in the forests of music festivals around the country.

Ana’s energetic delivery of brain-fazing beats has earned the Princess Slay-ah an important spot in pioneering the West Coast future sound movement. She will take you on a musical expedition into the deepest reaches of your brain, as she masterfully blends a wide spectrum of rhythms with a beautiful fluidity and a delicate sensibility, giving the dance floor a delightful ride that ends at the corner of bliss and oblivion. Uniting the best elements of dirty dubstep, grimy glitch, and her personalized blend of “global slut psy-hop,” Ana Sia’s sets confirm crunk status of all who dare enter into her seamless world of sound.

The Polish Ambassador (David Sugalski, aka Ample Mammal), is a Oakland, CA, electronic artist, who churns-out beats, blips & blops, at a feverish pace. His latest releases were a double album, First Words, and a pay what you want remix EP, Homeboys in Outerspace – Episode 1. Previously, he’s released a free album of remixes, Free Range Electro Remixes For That Ass (2010), Diplomatic Immunity (early 2007), The Phantasmal Farm (late 2007) & I Found Him. Now I Must Kill Him. (late 2008). All three have received favorable press & consistent airplay, on college / internet radio. His only official music video, for Earth Versus The World, was featured on the front page of Myspace, iFilm & other video streaming sites.

Claiming to be Poland’s ambassador to The Universe, Sugalski weaves together a collage of 80’s dance music, video game anthems & dreamy synth-scapes, to create miniature musical stories.
