UMAMI | Think Twice - Erykah Badilla

Dubbed "The DJ to watch in years to come (1)" Bay Area born Umami splashed into the local scene in 2008 at Fingerbangerz crew parties and the iconic defunct Poleng lounge. Bubbling with an infectuous passion for music and dance culture, her craft mastery and career grew organically and quick. Within a year of rockin' the turntables, she gained residency at Skylark with the prestigiously talented female DJ crew "Peaches" in San Francisco's hip Mission District. She went on to open for acts such as B.o.B., Talib Kweli, DJ Maseo and more. In 2011 Umami founded her own weekly party "Crush" at SOMA nightclub John Collins featuring local and national DJs. In 2012, she rocked sets at H&M, Macy's, 24-Hour Fitness and was thrilled to become a rotating DJ for the Golden State Warriors.
A crowd-reading music aficionado both versatile and professional, sought-after DJ Umami rips eclectic, party-starting dance grooves, Hip Hop, Moombahton, Neo Soul and R&B gems at clubs, weddings, and corporate events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

Think Twice - Erykah Badilla

I’m currently working on a mixtape with all Dilla Produced Badu songs. I have so much respect for both Erykah and Jay Dee, that I was unsure of myself chopping up and editing some already beautifully done work. But I was reassured by someone I look up to that it can only be good with respect and love. I plan to be finished with the project by early March, after the release of Badu’s Return of the Ankh. Reviews have already been talking about the Dilla Produced track, “Love”. I personally can’t wait.

Here is another “Badilla” edit I made. Also included in the blend are little bites from Giles Peterson’s Havana Cultura Band’s tribute to J-Dilla. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
