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]
