About the Artists

ILL DOOTS is a Philly based artist collective, known for being a band that not only makes quality music but creates experiences that feed the audience’s mind, body, and soul. Founded in 2009, ILL DOOTS jam session origins have since spawned over 8 studio projects and a raging live beast of a band featuring: an emcee, singer, bassist, drummer, keyboardist, guitarist and a host of frequent collaborators.

ILL DOOTS members’ diverse range of backgrounds and their shared musical consciousness shine through their exhilarating mix of hip hop elements with funk, jazz, rock & soul. Over the years, their live shows have become ever more engaging and theatrical, giving audiences unforgettable experiences of community, catharsis, and raw energy.

As artists, ILL DOOTS are also known for their cross-medium collaborations; working with artists from various disciplines and backgrounds remains a constant source of inspiration and is a staple of the ILL DOOTS brand. A brand which is defined by ILL; an acronym for “I Love Living/I Love Learning” and the mantra that encapsulates the band’s message to the world: value life and the lessons it gives you.

Started at the age of thirteen with a crate of his big brother’s records, Mat was introduced to an eclectic mix of music that has influenced his take on House Music. Releasing on a range of different labels including Derrick Carter’s Persnickety All Stars, he has gained support from DJs such as Kerri Chandler (dropping “Everybody Rise” on his “Essential Mix – Live from Lovebox”), Laurent Garnier, Black Madonna, Maya Jane Coles & Dubfire among others. Between continuing his 5 year running party CLUB CONGRESS, fronting his nu label CLUBBY BOY & growing LIBERTY CLUB, a loft inspired function with Rich Medina, 2020 is looking to be an exciting year for the American producer.
