This week we are graced to have a new Fire Friday Mix! Ana Sia was in one of the Glitch.fm djs studio for a show! This past Sunday the Salvage Future show hosted by Thirsty and Bertzerker brought in the lovely Ana Sia and she totally rocked it!
Ana Sia has recently put out a new EP, International Profile, on the infamous Muti Label. She has been working closely with the one and only phat conductor, ill gates! The first track caught my ear. Be sure to pick up the release!
Got to give tons of respect to Ana Sia for all she does. It can be tough in an industry where it’s mainly all male driven. I’ve personally met her but have only heard good things. She apparently had encouraged Epcot to come hang out during WMC when he recorded a show with us. Big thanks to her on that one considering Epcot had a lot of knowledge to drop on me about promoting and doing events.

As I began reviewing Timonkey’s newest album, Future Perfect (Muti Music), I knew I had to lay down on my couch for this. As I hit “play,” otherworldly dubbed out journeys through the minds sky began to knit the hemispheres of my brain. Shall I say: wobbly sonic scrub a dub dubs pound you like a massage therapist chewing at your muscles or an all consuming audio brew hand crafted by a Chinese herbalist to cleanse and re-pattern your Chi? Both!
As his press release states: “10 years ago, Timonkey climbed a massive Redwood tree that towered above a renegade party in the Santa Cruz Mountains. As the sun rose, he received the inspiration for what has been his mission ever since: to make the best sunrise music ever. Delivering a proper morning set is a delicate art: the dancers need strong energy to keep going, but they are also craving something different by this point in the experience. Timonkey is one of the few DJ/Producers who… can give a long night of rave and revelry the closing ritual it deserves.”

Has anyone else noticed a huge difference between Nor Cal’s bass music and the rest of the world’s bass music? Nor Cal producers have this hyphy hip hop tear-out laser sound that is so distinctly theirs… and they really fucking love their wobbles. That said, Siren’s “Jingletown” (Muti) has a definitive Nor Cal vibe to it. He tries to capture the vibe of ”Jingletown,” the ghetto neighborhood in the south part of Oakland in a meaty five course album.
