J Paul Getto
J Paul Getto started as a duo in 2010. It
was a collaboration between Tony Saputo and Maurice Tamraz until early
2013, when they amicably parted to work on separate projects and pursue
different visions. With a repertoire of guaranteed floor fillers, J Paul
Getto, can now be crowned the new minister of funk.
The
JPG sound is a seamless plenty of contemporary techniques with classic
samples of danceable beats and heartfelt emotions that really get the
girls in a spin. Though an experienced producer in his own right, it was
the coming together at a dinner party in September 2010 that really set
JPG off on a path to stardom. With the help of Maurice Tamraz (which
was a crucial part of the JPG sound) and Neil Petricone of X-Mix
Productions , J Paul Getto mined his own unique vein of sample heavy
disco house, creating an impressive body of work in such a short time,
releasing tracks like 'Imma Let You Know', '3000', and 'Paris Fried
Chicken' to rapturous receptions everywhere.
JPG
started as part of the X-Mix Productions family alongside the likes of
Armand van Helden and sometime collaborator and kicking house legend,
Todd Terry. As a remixer he is in high demand, re-working the likes of
Duck Sauce, DJ Sneak, Joey Negro, Louis La Roche, Treasure Fingers, Roy
Davis Jr and many more. One of their biggest remixes of 2012 came in
their rework of Will Monotone's 'Dem Mai Hoes', a dazzling production
which took his sound to every corner of the globe.
2012
saw J Paul Getto play some legendary events across US, closing the
X-Mix party with Todd Terry in Miami and featuring on a stacked lineup
at Coachella Festival. J Paul Getto continues to release original works
and remixes across reputable labels such as Z Records, Diamondhouse, Hed
Kandi, Fogbank and with support coming from none other than P. Diddy
himself for his remix of Nas' "The Don", his stock is only set to rise
further.
In 2013 we saw JPG
release tracks like Different Folks & Handle Your Scandal on Dj Mes'
Guesthouse Records, The Getto Life EP on Joey Negro's Z Records,
several remixes for the prestigious Salsoul label on Ultra Records and
in November, he shared the stage with Amtrac, Jamie Jones and Anime Edge
& Dance at Hard Fest Underground Stage. In 2014, he was personally
asked by Kaskade to be his opener for his Redux show in Boston. He also
remixed "Take Your Mind Off It" from Kaskade's last album.
