Sang Matiz – www.sangmatiz.com
“Sang Matiz” is a collective group of musicians that started in early 2008. The name is a combination of two words: Sang, meaning blood in French and Matiz, meaning “Harmonious Mixture” in Spanish. The band adopted this name because of the diverse cultural and musical backgrounds of its members. The Band has fearlessly fused traditional sounds of Peru with Flamenco, Afro-Brazilian rhythms like Samba-Funk and Samba-Reggae along with modern touches of R&B/Hip Hop. Sang Matiz will be releasing their debut album.

DJ izzy*wise – www.izziwise.com
San Francisco based izzy*wise aka Isaac Weiser first started performing music in his Dad’s Klezmer band as a teenager. As the multi instrumentalist began learning new instruments and collecting records, so came the influx of different styles and cultures of music. Having played in many bands performing reggae, afrobeat, funk, rock, hip hop, klezmer, drum n bass, and latin styles this versatile performer began producing his own music and djing in 2007. Combining his knowledge of multiple instruments, sound reinforcement, and his love of mixing music from different cultures, we now have the electro world dub mashup that is izzy*wise’s music.
