Hailing from San Jose, CA, Tanner Petulla aka Getter has been taking the Dubstep scene by storm with his filthy signature sound.  As a junior in high school, Getter was already flying to major cities across the US headlining medium sized events. Now at the age of 19, Getter has hit almost every major city in concert sized venues on Datsik’s Firepower Records Tour with some of the biggest names in the in the industry.  We are very proud to feature Getter for our very first Filth Friday.

Here is the exclusive Bwomp Beats interview:

So how did it all begin?
I went to a festival in 2009 with some friends and instantly fell in love with dubstep, thus leading me to produce it.

Where did the name Getter come from?
I honestly just thought it sounded cool and mean so I went with it.

What gave you that initial push?
Nothing really. I didn’t have any hooks ups or anything. I think it was just my signature sound that caught people’s attention.

Did the Djing or production come 1st?
Djing came first. I bought a shitty controller and learned to beat match, then later purchased Reason 4.

You were on the Firepower Tour with Datsik, What was your most memorable moment on tour?
I couldn’t pick one specific moment. It was all crazy. Paint balling with the crew was definitely in the top 3 though.

How do you feel about people moshing to your sets?
Aw man I love it! I’m a huge death metal fan and used to mosh at shows, so when I see the crowd start a pit to my tunes, I get PUMPED!

What city is your favorite to play in, and why?
I love playing in LA. The vibe there is great. I’ve played there so many times I feel like it’s the home to one of my biggest fan bases.

You just played in Canada on the Firepower Records Tour. Do you plan on playing in any other countries in the near future?
I plan on going to Australia and Argentina VERY soon.

Out of all the tunes you have produced, which one “never fails to get the crowd going live?”
Probably my tune “Deadly,” and my remix of 12 Gauge’s “Clutch.”

I just kick it at home and work on tunes, or go chill with my homies, nothing crazy.

How does it feel to have 20,000+ fans on facebook?
It’s definitely a huge step for me. I feel like when you have over a certain amount of LEGIT (not bought) fans on Facebook, you turn more heads. It’s also cool because I went from 10K to 20K in less than a year… SUPER stoked on that.

Can you give any advice to the up-and-coming dubstep producers out there?
You can have the dopest synths on earth, but if your drums are shit, no one will care. Work on drums along with sound design, and never copy someone. You will always be second best if you copy another producer.
