Gettoblaster
Paul Anthony and Zach Bletz, known professionally as Gettoblaster, are two American house and techno producers from Detroit (Zach) and Chicago (Paul). Chicago is known for starting the house movement[1] while Detroit pioneered the techno scene during the late 1980s.[2] Gettoblaster's music conserves the genres of their respective birthplaces,[3] combining techno and house to pioneer a unique style of ghetto house music.[4] They have collaborated with well-established artists such as Bad Boy Bill, Steve "Silk" Hurley, DJ Funk, Roland Clark, and Chip E.[5]
