Quasi Nada's music is influenced by the band members experiences in Brazil, Cuba and Africa, blended with their American roots. We have all of that background in common. That?s who we are and that's why Quasi Nada sounds the way it does, said drummer Chris Stromquist. Funk, hip-hop, jazz are the American examples, samba and other Brazilian rhythms, salsa and Cuban, the merengue from the Dominican Republic, said Stromquist, explaining about variations of music that all have the same principle of making people dance.

Created at the end of 2002, SunTzu Sound is a collective of DJs, producers, and promoters based in Pacific Morthwest. Taking inspiration from the ancient text 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu, the collective's strategy is to exercise patience, be visible when the time is right and speak loud when people are most ready to listen. SunTzu Sound believes this is the true way to gaining exposure and dominance in the growing electronic music scene.

Musically, SunTzu Sound is dedicated to connecting the dots between various grooves and genres. They are tuned into the ever expanding worlds of brokenbeat, future jazz, downtempo, hiphop, soul (old and new), jazz (old and new) and deep house. SunTzu Sound also exposes audiences to the importance of our musical past, as it pays respect to the creators of jazz, funk and soul.
