As a fixture of the Bay Area Hip Hop scene for almost 10 years, Richie Cunning has earned the attention and respect of both fans and veterans of the genre. Fresh off of a Summer tour with Bay Area legend Del The Funky Homosapien, he is currently working on a collaboration project with Domino of Oakland’s Hieroglyphics crew.
Rostami has been writing music for over 14 years in a wide variety of genres. His primary work ranges a variety of electronic music from Ambient to Experimental to Post-Techno. Conceptually, his albums focus on topics such as illusions of control, cultural misunderstandings, cybernetics, continuation, and the imagined self.
The Quaaludes are a band of 4 women with a sound characterized by ferocity, rawness, and vulnerability. Known throughout the Bay Area as a fun, femme-powered, post- punk, and riotgrrl group, The Quaaludes aim to create an inviting space for those frequently pushed to the margins and those seeking an escape.
