DJ Dan has been a legendary staple in dance music since its birthing years. And as the genre expands and takes new forms, one of the great pied pipers of house music is set to take us on a musical soireé with his much awaited full length artist album ‘Nothing But A Party’ out now. Containing 20 tracks, this massive collection of music creates a fusion with the new age production and Dj Dan’s house music roots. The undeniable factor of funk on this album will have any listener up on their feet as if they were in a lively church sermon. Collaborators include the big fish of the dance music world such as Umek, TJR, Phunk Investigation, DJ Mes, Lookback, Mike Balance, WhiteNoize, and many more!
Music has been forever entrenched in Dan’s life, having garnered a superior record collection at the age of 8 that would give Amoeba Records a run for its money. Starting his professional musical career with some smaller clubs in Seattle and then Los Angeles, DJ Dan had a rise to recognition in the dance music community that could be considered meteoric. Forming the Funky Techno Tribe in 1993, DJ Dan fused together breakbeat, house, dub, and techno to create a sound that later was fittingly crowned, “West Coast House”. And with renowned tracks like “Needle Damage”, and remixes for everyone from Depeche Mode to Duck Sauce, Dan’s production prowess is undeniable. The journey that Dan’s talents have taken him on could go on for pages and pages. He has played alongside the likes of fellow legends from Carl Cox to John Digweed with a mission of making club goers unable to fight the urge to dance the night away.
And it’s not just party goers and fellow DJ’s who bow down to Dan, the press have drooled over his music. DJ Mag named DJ Dan the #1 House DJ in 2006 while Urb Magazine named him “America’s Favorite DJ” and “America’s Hardest Working DJ”. The media has never been more accurate.
Dan’s widely renowned Los Angeles based label InStereo Recordings,has further etched his name into dance music’s core. With TJR, Phunk Investigation, Simon Doty, Wolfgang Gartner, DJ PP, DJ Sneak, Hatiras, and DJ Dan being amongst the many artists featured on the InStereo Recordings, the label is hard to ignore in the industry. Dan also has releases on Toolroom, Pacha Recordings, Ultra, Guesthouse, Work, XL Recordings, Magnetic, Rising, and many others.
As this dance music world continues to evolve, it is safe to say that DJ Dan will continue to be one of its strongest voices.
. : 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 is a part of the X-Mix Productions family alongside the likes of DJ Sneak, 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 and several remixes for the prestigious Salsoul Records.
