A medium-shot portrait of electronic music producer and DJ Öona Dahl. They are sitting on the floor against a neutral, mid-gray studio backdrop. They have long, light-purple-tinted hair styled with braids along the top and are looking directly at the camera with a calm, focused expression. They are wearing a black graphic t-shirt with a large white circular logo, loose-fitting white cargo pants, and a dark arm band on their right bicep. Their left arm features a visible forearm tattoo. They are wearing a simple silver chain necklace and have small dark gauges in their ears.

The Serious Soul team helps keep the underground dance music scene alive in the Bay area, and this year has something of a residency at The Nest.

In connection with the Hallucienda label and ahead of fall shows from DJ Three and Doc Martin, Öona Dahl—a producer and DJ who spent a lot of time cutting her teeth in the Florida scene alongside Rabbit In the Moon’s DJ Monk and the aforementioned Three—kicks things off with a set of vocal-forward electronica and indie-dance.

Tickets to see Öona Dahl, Brian Busto, and Zakat at The Nest at St. Pete Brewing Co. in St. Petersburg on Saturday, June 13 are still available and start at $24.80.
