Los Angeles native Mat/Matix has soaked up, breathed, internalized and reimagined the west coast sound... championing G- Funk Basslines, Wave-y Jazz & Hip Hop Feels, Boogie-Funk Street Sounds, Underground House parties and RnB jeep-beats to create his own sound to perfectly accompany the beach-lined West Coast of California with the On Lock LP.
