Angelia Mahaney is a dancer, choreographer, Dj, live visual artist, and curator, with a BA in Dance from University of Iowa. She is co-founder of FemmeDecks, an electronic music collective aimed at bringing communities together to celebrate and empower diverse artists with marginalized voices. She presented Carrier Waves at Witching Hour in 2019, a movement-based performance incorporating live video projection and live original compositions by Brendan Hanks. She has performed and/or presented work at Mission Creek Festival with Hannibal Buress (2014), with New Territory Dance Company (2015), and co-created Sci Fi CoLab Dinner at Motley Cow alongside Eloy Barragán (2017).

Her utmost goal for Witching Hour 2021 and beyond is to shine a spotlight on up-and-coming artists that face challenges in the industry due to their gender, race and/or sexual orientation, and to construct inclusive spaces with high standards of safety for Djs and their dancefloors.
