Matisa
Born in Rome, but currently based in the Italian capital of Arts, Florence, Isabella (aka Matisa) has been plugging away at her sound, formulating her signature energy that is bright, bubbling and emotional. Matisa picked up DJing in her mid-teens after feeling her creative expression was hindered by traditional musical instruments.
After graduating with a degree in Political Science, with the prospect of working in government, Matisa felt her creative side yearning for more freedom, hence studying and later receiving a Masters in Fashion Product Management at Polimoda: one of the top fashion institutes in the world.
Since exploring the diversity of DJing, the urge to etch her sound into the dance floor spirit was too overwhelming. So from her debut EP on Optimo Music in 2019, Matisa has released music with Permanent Vacation, Biologic Records, Dischi Autunno, Butter Sessions, On Loop and most recently Steel City Dance Discs. Gaining support from Ben UFO, Peach, Nicola Cruz, Mall Grab, Shanti Celeste, Sally C, Midland, Carista, Moxie and Eris Drew, amongst many others, is all testament to her infectious energy.
Now with no boundaries to artistic influence or expression and keeping strong ties with both the fashion and music industries, Matisa not only works and collaborates with top brands and talented designers but seamlessly and authentically ties both careers and passions together.
SAM. Futura
SAM Futura spent the last decade shaping the sounds and scenes of South East Asia. Born in France, Sam moved to Hong Kong in 2014 where he helped build the community from the ground up through his music collective and booking agency Cliché Records. Along with three friends, Sam diversified and expanded HK’s underground, bringing fresh sounds to the city and the region.
In 2018, Sam moved to Hanoi, Vietnam, where he opened and handled the artistic direction of Northern Vietnam’s first house and techno club Savage – a location which soon become a renowned dance mecca shaping the sound of Hanoi’s underground. Savage acted as a playground for this discrete artist to explore his sonic edges and experiment in intimate settings. Crossing paths some of his great influences - such as John Talabot, Mascaras and nd_baumecker - had a major impact on him and inspired his direction to where he is today.
SAM Futura’s mixes are sonic explorations of 90s house, rave nostalgia and timeless energizing soul. Music is an outlet for this introspective artist to connect and communicate with listeners while sharing his mysterious and daring side. Sam FUTURA has played the region’s powerhouse venues including Beijing’s Zhao, Taipei’s Pawnshop and Saigon’s The Observatory, as well as local festivals Equation, Karma Konkrete and Sónar Hong Kong.
There’s no doubt the scenes of South East Asia have influenced Sam as much as he’s influenced them. Catch one of his sets and you’ll notice a sense of adventure and curiosity, as though the endless summers and tropical nights have seeped into his DNA.
In 2021, SAM Futura made the move back to the Fragrant Harbour, a city that has a special place in his heart, where he brings his signature sound and years of experience at the helm of South East Asia’s underground scene to 宀 club.
