UMAMI | This Thursday 8/5/10 marks the one year...

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.

This Thursday 8/5/10 marks the one year anniversary for Peaches at Skylark. We’re giving away our Regions Vol.2 Mixtape for free. This time I took on the Durrty durty South…
Mixcrate recently interviewed Masaye Waugh about the Peaches party to get her perspective from a promoters point of view. Read it Here.(Trust, it’s worth the read).
I was nearly in tears reading the article, reminiscing on how far we’ve all come as a collective. Masaye’s kind words really hit home. I’ve always felt like we’ve been the underdog of Thursday night parties, but EVERYONE loves an underdog. We’re just an honest group of ladies who love music and making people dance. I’m proud to have gotten my DJ wings with this party and to be involved with such a talented group of women that I’ve always looked up to.
