Getter

Tanner Petulla, known professionally as Getter, is an American DJ, producer, rapper and actor from San Jose, California.

He has been in the bass scene since 2010.

A regular performer at EDC, Petulla has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the scene such as Skrillex, Datsik, and Borgore.

He regularly uses heavy bass and “gnarly” synths in his music.

Petulla's style of producing/DJing has evolved through the years from 'massive dubstep tracks to a diverse assortment of genres which culminate to an ethereal, trap-light sound that still contains hard-hitting dubstep roots'.

Recently, he's been dabbing into more of an experimental style of reverb and bass while assimilating a variety of beats.

Petulla was signed to Datsik's label Firepower Records in 2012, while also releasing through other labels such as Rottun Recordings and OWSLA.

Petulla has collaborated with some big-name artists such as Datsik, Skrillex, Borgore, and Suicideboys, and also had Liquid Stranger remix his song "Ill Shit".

Petulla signed to Firepower Records run by Datsik in 2012 before signing with Owsla, a record label founded by dubstep pioneer Skrillex.

He gained popularity when he began making “Suh Dude” vines with Nick Colletti and Dillon Francis.

He also said that after touring, he plans to work on 'getting something like a TV show or a movie going' with Colletti.

Petulla first joined Skrillex's OWSLA when he sent his demo before Skrillex heard and told him that he liked it.

Petulla then sent another track which is now titled Head Splitter and Skrillex said 'he wanted it for OWSLA'.

Petulla said "We just became friends from there; he introduced me to his team. Now we all work together, and they see what I’m trying to do, which is really cool, because they support it and have the resources to make it happen. Me and Skrillex have a super-similar taste in heavy bass music, so I’ll send him new tracks and new artists”.

Petulla released his Trenchlords Vol. 1 EP; the first installment from his new music project called, Trench.

Four songs from the EP, includes a collaborations with Algo and Deemed.

When asked about his opinion on genres, Petulla said "I feel like genres are necessary to classify what you like, same with certain sub genres. I’m just not a fan of sub genres that not only sound stupid, but can be put on anything that has the smallest element of that class".

Speaking about the project, the name Trench and its significance, Petulla said "I just think the name sounds tight, and is short and sweet. A Trenchlord is someone who I think makes fuckin’ dope music that I collaborate with and recruit to the trench project."

The idea Trench came into the scene when Petulla and his close friends realized they represent the 'heavier/underground' side of dubstep music, which was then he started the Trench project, with fellow artists being labeled Trenchlords.

On giving it away for free, he said that he wants his fans to enjoy his music, which was his main priority.

On 23 October 2015, Petulla released a nine-second tease of a new collaborative track with Skrillex.

On 28 November 2015, Petulla returned to Vancouver, BC at Red Room Ultra Bar to perform.

In 2015, Petulla released an EP under the alias “Planet Neutral” that showed a reserved, mellow, more relaxed side to himself.

On 29 January 2016, a compilation album titled "Worldwide Broadcast" by OWSLA was released, featuring Petulla's collaboration with Ghastly titled "666!".

On 11 March 2016, Petulla released an EP titled Radical Dude! with heavy dub, bass-driven, and grimy songs.

The first song on the EP, entitled “Back” is bass-heavy, 'fun and laid-back piece'.

The fifth and sixth songs on the EP, "In The Cuts" featuring Sneek and "Blood" with Adair featuring Georgia Ku, consist of 'extraterrestrial synths, dreamy vocals, and atmospheric swells'.

In 2017, Petulla launched his own record label, clothes shop, and artist collective known as Shred Collective.

He also produces and performs hip-hop under the name Terror Reid, and is best known for his song "Uppercuts".

Petulla began producing music while in high school, uploading original songs as well as remixes of Far East Movement and Timbaland to his SoundCloud page.

He gained recognition when he released songs on labels such as Ultragore Recordings and Tuff Love Dubs.

In an interview, he said "I basically started when I was 16. I was in a few bands before that; I was a drummer and a guitar player. I was a huge metal head and I loved rap like Mac Dre and Andre Nickatina. You could make electronic music by yourself, so that really attracted me towards it and made me want to do my own thing".

He said "As soon as I picked up a guitar I knew I wanted to do music. I have always done art, whether it’s music or drawing, so it all came pretty natural".

Regarded as 'the unsung hero of underground bass culture', Petulla has been DJing across the US since the age of 17.

He performed across the US and received support from genre pioneers Datsik and Downlink.

He has, ever since, become known for ignoring trends and cutting his own path with ripping, guttural synths and a sprinkling of melody.

Petulla said in an interview that on his 19th birthday, he saved up money to move to Los Angeles.

He would then stay with his friend Oliver Tree and his girlfriend's dorm-room at Cal Arts for a few months.

He expanded from there, then soon later he would create a mini - band by the Pseudonym of Kryph with Oliver Tree and began to learn how to produce Dubstep on Ableton Live and Scratch Vinyl - Record Samples.

Oliver's dad would later confirm this in a 2023 YouTube Comment under the Red Rocks show of Oliver Tree's. Getter would then get his own apartment and studio.
