WILLISIST - SHAH DJs - Vancouver
https://soundcloud.com/willisist-shahdjs

Deep, rolling DnB. Heavy thick 85. Blissful liquid and half time. Rich, meaningful, moving music. Close your eyes and listen closely, there's layers and a story being told. You will end up in a different place, exactly where you are.
Since 2007 Willisist has been pushing the underground in Vancouver. As the head of the SHAHdjs he's forged the legendary False-o-Ween series, some of the best New Years parties ever, hosted over 30 shows per year, pushed the local scene with Nautilus and the Back Stage Lounge, and has worked with almost every club and underground venue the city has seen.

Matt Saunders’ latest project, Akela, infuses multiple genres on the warmer side of Bass Music, weaving groovy love stories with happy-go-lucky dancefloor bounciness.
Be it House, UK Garage, Dubstep, Drum & Bass or anything else that fits the mood, Akela’s sound envelops the listener with a warm blanket of subsonic affection and intuitive funkiness. Shaping his sets to complement the environment in which they’re played, Akela draws from well over a decade of DJ experience in Bass Music, and his track selections from the early days of House right the way up to the spankiest new Garage show exactly that.
Akela creates positive moods, compelling short stories, and satisfied grins with his careful attention to minute sonic details, commanding the listener’s attention and unconscious wiggling of the pants area.
