Guesthouse Music Drops
100th Digital Release
J
Paul Getto's "
3000" Pays Homage to
House Label in
Lush, Layered Grooves
OAKLAND—Oakland-based house label, Guesthouse Music, continues its evolution on electronic music's dynamic landscape with its 100th digital release, "3000." Here, production duo J Paul Getto (
Tony Saputo and
Maurice Tamraz) crafts a sultry blend of haunting horns, smoldering melodies, and gauzy, intoxicating grooves.
Since its inception in 2004, Guesthouse Music and label owner
Jason Sutton (DJ Mes) have consistently released an eclectic catalogue of tracks that have jacked up dance floors with boompty beats, quirky sampling, and
San Francisco's own deep sound. The label's 100th release melds classic elements of disco with forward, intelligent beat sampling to create the same musical dichotomy that has kept the label thriving for six years.
"Releasing the 100th digital EP is a huge milestone for Guesthouse Music," says
Sutton, who introduced internationally successful house acts, including Cosy
Creatures,
The Sound Republic, and
Gramophonedzie, to audiences since 2004. "I'm always working to
sign new or undiscovered music and talent to the label, and maybe even throw a curve ball to startle people with a new, unexpected style or sound."
On "3000," Guesthouse delves deep into speakers with the house atmospherics orchestrated by
2011 break-out production stars, J Paul Getto. Here, Saputo (formerly of Swivel Hips) and Tamraz channel their disco house roots into a sultry studio session that swirls with smoky irreverence before settling into a dark, pulsing beat that chugs just enough to make crowds move in one collective groove.
Saputo hails from
Palermo, Italy while Tamraz grew up in central
California; the duo is now based in
Boston, where they have been creatively collaborating since
2010.
"3000" is poised to join the ranks of other classic Guesthouse cuts, including Cosy
Creature's "
Show U the Way,"(2004),
DJ Sneak's "Did it at the
Disco" (2008), and the infectious "
Why Don't You" by Gramophonedzie (2009). Sutton, whose own production work on "Oklandish" (Cajual
Recordings) earned the number one spot on Traxsource's Top
100 List of 2011, says the key to the label's longevity is its ability to startle listeners with an unexpected but infectious twist each time a new track drops.
"3000" does its duty.
"Guesthouse is my baby, and
I never stop taking care of her," Sutton says. "I keep on it 24/7, and hopefully that is reflected in the constant quality of releases coming from our stable."
"3000" is now available for purchase on Traxsource,
