Raised in Amsterdam and of Dutch/Indonesian descent, Samira spent her formative years listening to the percussive sounds of the Indonesian gamelan, and began her life-long love affair with the piano at age 7. She discovered life behind the decks after dropping out of a PhD program in literature in late 1999, and she hasn't looked back since. Today, whether it's nu-skool breaks, tribal or progressive, a deep love for percussion, combined with that of story-telling, remains at the root of Sam's sound.

In 2000, she co-founded the all-female DJ collective Witches' Brew, which is best known for its monthly residency at the popular Beatdown party in Berkeley. The women of Witches' Brew recently recruited 2 new residents and upped the ante for 2003, as they now collectively hold down nine residencies, host two weekly online radio shows, are traveling for out of town gigs, and return for their 4th season in Berkeley as a party of 5. In short, summer is barely over and this year is already proving to be a remarkable one.

In 2002 Samira earned a weekly residency at RAW in Oakland, and played at a Burning Man pre-compression party in New York. She also started up a new monthly called Sunday School Sessions, which allowed her to bring international breakbeat DJs and producers such as 10 Sui (TCR/Botchit & Scarper, UK) and the Incredible Melting Man (2 WARS) to San Francisco. In January 2003, Samira joined Sister SF, the longest running female DJ crew in the Bay Area (and beyond). With the Sister collective she has thrown parties in SF and at the WMC in Miami.

Sam has DJd all over the West Coast, Texas, New York, and the WMC in Miami, and has started to carve a niche for herself with her dark & compelling nu-skool breaks. Sam has played alongside headlining breakbeat talent such as: the Carbon Community, Son of the Electric Ghost, 10 Sui, DJ Hyper, Boabinga, 30Hz, DJ Friendly, Lee Coombs, the Incredible Melting Man, and other artists such as Andrea Parker, Miss Honey Dijon, Jondi & Spesh, Heather Heart, Reid Speed, Shortee, the Syrup Girls, and of course her crew from Sister SF.

Diggs, Born and raised just outside of London, grew up listening to dance music. Fell in love with the KLF and that was it. Found my love for playing out at Burning man and the rest was history. Now play pretty much every other week. Know for spinning House Tech House and what I call Twisted house. Hope you Enjoy. Peace

RAUSHI (sounds like “RUSH-HIGH)” front woman, Dani Raushi, is living, breathing, singing proof that when fueled by the formidable flame of focused passion and an unforfeiting work ethic, a dream seed spark can and will erupt into a tangible reality. 

Finishing their 11 song album with the help of Producer/ mixer, Jay Baumgardner, at NRG in North Hollywood, Dani's killer vocals are supported by the instrumental stylings of guitarist Robert King Geiser, drummer Matt Conley and bassist(s) Doug Ardito and Jay Gordon (also a producer) who recorded on the album.

For RAUSHI, music is a poetic tool with the capacity to take the negative energies that often surround life's mentally and emotionally challenging situations, which in the case of the new album involve inescapable desire and overwhelming betrayal, and transform them into positive release. With a lyrical flow comparable to a stream of clever puns, the album unapologetically exposes the raw emotions one experiences when placed in the volatile frameworks of consuming love as a result of human nature. In songs like Over the Edge, Don't Call Me and High Tides Collide, the use of drum-delays and short, speedy guitar strums build a reservoir of anticipatory energy which lead up to their subsequent breakdowns in a way that intensifies the effect of Raushi's emotionally driven vocals.

Formerly of April Sixth &amp; Die Trying, Geiser and Conley's hard rock influences mix effortlessly with the sexy and soulful female rocker vibe that Dani brings to the table. The combination of Matt's hard hitting and rhythmic beats, along with Robert's speedy guitar strums, symphonic layers and innovative ideas help to create the perfect package.

The average listener will have no problem grasping the surface messages of each song on an individual level. Using choruses that are snappy and to the point like a quick punch in the face, the group interlaces their form of therapeutic poetry in a way that is catchy, fun and easily relatable.However, with respect to the composition as a whole, it will take a more fine tuned listener to decipher the true complexity of the reality that is building slowly under the radar as the album progresses. But then again, isn't the process of extracting hidden meaning, and experiencing the succession of new information as it's layering, partially responsible for the fulfillment one derives from enveloping themselves in an album over and over again? 

With their 'Take no shit' attitude and songs that say 'F*ck You' to being mistreated, fooled, taken for granted or all of the above just because you love someone, RAUSHI is a testament to the power of one's will.
