OUR MEMORIES OF MUSIC ARE SCRIPTURE ...
Adriana Sparkuhl, co-founder of San Francisco’s iconic Soundpieces crew, is a mixed queer Chilean-Arab American. A lifelong master painter who thrives in underground culture, ravey bass music, and ethnic sound seduction, she performs under the alias NUNYA—a name derived from “nunya business,” always enthusiastic to take a comedic play on words, she emphasizes that she is anyone and no one, a servant of sound. Music and art takes center stage, while us servants are simply vessels. Additionally, Sparkuhl is a hybrid nun of her own kind, not only did she retreat to church camp every summer to sing with greek orthodox nuns in a barn and danced with her church competitively for over a decade, she's been practicing various pagan and nature forward magic throughout her life. She is also a founding member of a secret all female angel-witch society.

Sparkuhl (her real surname) learned to DJ on vinyl during her adolescent rave days in Las Vegas. After 15 years of building Soundpieces—a party crew renowned for debuting dubstep legends since 2006—she returned to the decks, bringing her raw, genre-blurring style to the spotlight.

NUNYA’s sonic roots trace back to the early 2000s, when she immersed herself in the thriving drum & bass and speed garage scenes at Vegas’ notorious AWOL racetrack raves . Her sound today reflects that versatility: from funky, dirty house and UKG to basshouse, heavy DnB, dark dubstep, explicit rap, and sensual, immersive soundscapes.

Raised around music from a young age—piano, vocals, and a near-overload of dance—NUNYA’s journey on the stage began before she can even remember. Though she spent years behind the scenes and behind a mask, she’s fully in the light, and it’s clear there’s still much more to come.

San Francisco DJ Nikola Baytala has become a crucial component of the minimal-techno collective known as Kontrol. But don't typecast him as a one-dimensional droid with a M-nus Records logo tattoo. He's been exploring the upper echelons of the techno/house continuum since the early '90s (including the last 10 years at The Top, a weekly event hosted by S.W.A.T., aka Special Weapons and Tactics), gaining a reputation as a DJ's DJ, with acclaim coming from house-music legends like Derrick Carter and Doc Martin. Moreover, Baytala's list of musical influences and loves is vast, eclectic, and impeccable. The following roll call just scratches the surface: dub/reggae (Lee "Scratch" Perry), jazz (Pharoah Sanders), world (Ravi Shankar, Mulatu Astatke), funk (Cymande), soul (Bill Withers), hiphop (Gang Starr), Krautrock (Can), electro (Egyptian Lover, Kraftwerk), disco (DJ Harvey), Latin (Tito Puente), soundtrack/new age (Vangelis), rock (Steely Dan), post-punk (ESG, Liquid Liquid), and post-rock (Outhud). As for his bread and butter, Baytala similarly displays excellent judgment, with a heavy preference for quality-pushers like Jeff Mills, Gas, Monolake, Robert Hood, Theo Parrish, and Mr. Fingers. When you see a DJ possess such wide-ranging, outstanding taste, it instills confidence that he/she will rarely, if ever, veer into wackness. Baytala clearly has put many hours of study into his craft, and it's paid off with smooth mixes and world-class track selection. Besides his formidable technical skills and profound knowledge, Baytala reportedly exudes a lot of personality and passion behind the decks, which must have served him well while opening for acts like Jane's Addiction. Everything I've heard by Baytala suggests that his sets avoid the supposed pitfalls of minimal dance music. They're kinetic and dynamic.

Born into Melbourne’s renegade electronic scene of the late 80s, Tamer grew up with techno stitched into his bloodstream long before he ever stepped behind the decks. In the early 2000s he opened the iconic Honkytonks nightclub, cementing his place in the heartbeat of Australia’s underground.

Decades later, that history shows up in every set he plays. His style is eclectic yet intentional, moving through house and techno in all their textures, laced with playful edits and unexpected left-turns. He’s as comfortable scoring sunrise as he is driving a peak-hour floor, carrying a deep, far-reaching collection shaped by years of listening, traveling, and community.

Inspired by the global artistry he encounters each year through the Burner world, Tamer channels that sense of freedom and creativity into his own performances. Now based in California’s Napa Valley with his wife Blaire, he’s the co-founder and resident DJ of Salty Sundays, a roaming party series known for transforming extraordinary spaces into soulful, joy-filled dance experiences.

Legend has it that Hólmar was born during the dawn of winter solstice, way up in the highlands of Iceland, to one of it’s oldest and most secret “Hidden People” communes.  Sadly his elvish mother passed from complications during birth, and one fateful night not long after,  he was found by his human adoptive parents on their doorstep. They were sheep farmers in the valley below and in a letter they found by his side, they were promised the protection of their flock in exchange for raising him as their own. Knowing the many tales of wrath inflicted on villagers not complying with their highland neighbors, they took him in straight away and Hólmar spent his formative years on their quaint farm. 

His mother, an avid swimmer, would bring him to the cold mountain lakes during the summer months and teach him all there was to know about being the best there was in the water. It was during one of these lessons, he was discovered by the national synchronized swimming coach, who by chance was hiking in the area. Enamored by Hólmar’s raw talent, he negotiated his move from the tranquil countryside to the nations capital, Reykjavik City. There he began his training and quickly became an integral member of the Icelandic squad. It was during the course of his training for the Olympics in Seoul, that he suffered a serious injury which ended his professional swimming career abruptly. Fortunately, he was able to continue his passion for synchronized group movements above water and formed a dance troupe called the “Black Widows”.  He traveled with them all over Scandinavia winning multiple competitions and dance off’s.

Throughout his time with the “Widows" he discovered his passion for music while putting together playlists for their shows. Eventually he was asked to perform these playlists "live" at parties all over Reykjavik's then bustling underground scene. After many late night gigs, not showing up to practice and seriously messing up some of their shows, he was promptly ousted from the troupe. This was a devastating moment for Holmar and after a great deal of soul searching, he moved to New York.  

There he hit the ground running and started throwing rollicking parties all over the Big Apple. He formed the infamous Crack & Speed Records with his good Parisian friend Jef-k. On C&S he debuted his music as a part of the “super” group Mr. Negative & The Spencer Filipsson Experience.

During one of Holmar’s parties at a former brothel on the Lower East Side, he met Greg Oreck and shortly thereafter founded “Thugfucker”. After working together for a few years, during one hot summer night in Hólmar’s studio in Williamsburg, they created “Disco Gnome”. This record ended up being the first release on Life and Death Records and launched them into the international scene along with Tale of Us and Dj Tennis. He spent next years touring with Greg and fellow mates at Life and Death causing general mayhem and good times at clubs and festivals all around the globe. 

In 2011 he went to Burning Man for the first time, a pivotal moment for him, and now he can be found every year, riding his bike around and playing many marathon sets all week long. 

In recent years in addition to his work with "Thugfucker" he has started new collaborations. He co-founded “Lovestruckk” with Nico Stojan, “Theory of Light” with Brian Cid, “The Birds Fly South” with Maxxi Soundsystem and his first release in 2018 will be an E.P with L.A’s Jon Charnis.  He is also a part of a new dj collective the infamous "Twisted Sisterz".

In 2018 we will see his departure from “Thugfucker",  launching his solo career.

He has now brought his dancing shoes back out of retirement and has staged new impromptu of dance performances of the "Black Widows" on and off stage during his shows, staying true to his choreography roots.
