DJ Izzy Wise

Hailing from San Francisco, Izzy Wise is a multi-instrumentalist and DJ who produces eclectic dance music that bounces from West Africa to the West Indies, and all points in between. For more than a decade Wise cut his teeth in San Francisco, DJing at parties like the legendary Afrolicious night and landmark venues like The Independent, Monarch and 1015 Folsom. His pursuit for unique rhythms & melodies has led him to the jungles of Nicaragua and fabled islands lost in the Caribbean Sea. When he’s not making field recordings and playing in live bands, Wise releases music on imprints like Délicieuse Records, Lips & Rhythm and Mule Musiq. His dedication in the studio is unwavering and his original output often reflects a well-blended taste of disco, boogie funk and house. Wise also plays live with a variety of instruments that he works into his energetic performances. His sets are best described as funky underground ethnomusicology courses with hypnotic grooves. In 2022 Izzy Wise pushes onward in search of fresh sounds to share with us all on late nights.
