Never one to cleave to popular tastes—she once dismissed today's banger culture as "ear rape of obvious hard music to keep folks engaged"—Ana Sia instead fancies deep cuts of textured percussion, minimal chords and complex structures. Or, as she puts it, "the best most unique/beautiful/grossly great sounds available."The no-bullshit Californian rolls with Salva's (now defunct?!) Frite Nite crew, who she produced the excellent Surreal Estate compilation for back in 2011. Don't miss her Glass Delusion EP out now on Hot N Heavy Recordings, and download this remix from Atlanta's Mite. While you're at it, peep Ana Sia's exclusive mix for THUMP. It's a doozy.Michelle is kind of gross and kind of great - @MichelleLHOOQ
