Shotwell 25 was formed in San Francisco's Mission District in 2004. We play world-jazz funk-hop, with stylistic influences from African, bebop, Latin and hiphop musical traditions. It's dance music -- we make beats that move feet.

Hey There! I am sorry I haven't written in awhile, Things have been moving forward and keeping me out of trouble...For the most part!
Have a fantastic day and I wanted to let you know I appreciate our friendship and your support!
Shotwell 25 (formerly IZUM) brings you new year's greetings and two important messages:
First, we're playing this Friday! January 20th. We're bringing the world-jazz funk-hop to the Capoeira Arts Cafe at 2026 Addison Street in Berkeley, starting at 9:30 pm. As our good friend Mr. Brown recently said, "We're gonna have a funky good time"
Second, we've got a new name for a new year (As of now we're not planning on pulling this again next January.). In order to better reflect, well, where we're at, we're now called Shotwell 25. That's right: Shotwell 25. You can find us online at www.shotwell25.com and contact us at contact@shotwell25.com.

Welcome to the most addictive thing since crack...well I never had any, but maybe heroine... I never had that either...hmmm Sex...yes, gentlemen...I've had some of that and I'll tell you...it's not as addictive as sex. I can turn the computer off for some gooood luvin', but maybe like cigarettes. That's it... like fuckin cigarettes.
