DJ Tara Verma
Tara is a house DJ based in San Francisco, CA. She fell in love with the genre after moving to the city and exploring the local scene, which she quickly integrated herself into. She found parallels between the meditative effects of house music and the mantras of her Indian culture. Tara is a strong advocate for diversifying the decks, working with Femme House and co-founding a collective called Playhouse. She regularly plays at top venues in the city, where she aims to move audiences through the energy of her dynamic sets

DJ LWAY
Being born in India, raised in Europe, and now living in California, LWAY’s nomadic background has shaped a style of music that embeds fusions of genres from all of his cultural influences. His music creates a space where you bathe in the notes of the jungle, the city, or the wind from the desert. You can find LWAY playing at clubs like Monarch, or an intimate sunrise at a park overlooking his current home of San Francisco.
