Like many of you, the horrific death of George Floyd has filled me with a mix of emotions – from sadness, anger, and confusion to a desire to take action, and to educate myself and others. The recent volume of protests, posts on social media, and increased awareness around racial injustice have been encouraging. I’m hopeful that this time will be different – that if we keep bringing our voices together, we can take important steps toward reforming the police brutality, racism, and inequities in our country. 

I’ve struggled with whether to share music right now, as I don’t want to divert attention from this important dialogue. However I realized that amidst learning, amidst being active, amidst protesting, amidst engaging in difficult conversations that bring important topics to light, amidst stress around social distancing and COVID, amidst the stresses of working hard or being out of work, we all need breaks – to recharge and to process our emotions. I made this mix as a way for the people I love and the people in my community to have space to contemplate and process these emotions. To take time to feel, to think, to understand, to feel our bodies, and to breathe. To join in movement. To channel our energies into furthering the Black Lives Matter movement.

Sending love to you all. Let’s keep bringing our voices together, and let’s keep turning up the volume on the change we want to see in the world!

In quarantine I'm left to my own devices. Before the pandemic I played brass in raucous bands for sweaty crowds. Now it's just me and a Digital Audio Workstation, and the audience is myself.

Twang and Bang. Ad hoc recordings of my sounds. Not a pro, just a lover of rhythm and jaw harp melody.

An innovative producer and DJ, Tinker is known for her melodic take on instrumental hip-hop and beat-driven bass music. Also 1/2 of the bombastic party pop duo @sw00se. 

Hailing from the Bay Area, Berlin, and beyond, she has energized hundreds of dancefloors across multiple continents. Aptly nicknamed the “Galaxy Beat Girl,” Tinker dazzles audiences with layered drum loops, playful bleeps and bloops, and lush sonics. 

Tinker is currently based in Oakland, California. For gigs, collabs, or just feeling my beats - drop me a note!
