About Melissa Dueñas:

From playing drums in punk bands to curating oldies and funk nights, Melissa Dueñas aka Lil Smiley has had a life-long love affair with music. Her former radio show Lowrider Sundays and transmedia endeavor East Side Story Project are recent examples of her continuing and evolving relationship with music. Now based in Los Angeles she is currently working on creating mixes that weave the sonic connections of her musical journey.

About COMBAT!

It’s as COMBAT! that Nieto’s various projects and influences meet. Check out his debut album on FoF.
