Few artists can straddle the fine line between house and techno and still stay true to form. “I definitely have a split personality,” says Spettro of his obsessive dedication to both genres. His roots come from the golden era of house, 1994-1996, but for the latter half of his 20-year career, he has steadily worked on producing a proper techno sound. Enter 2017, Spettro released his first techno EP on Pig&Dan’s critically acclaimed ELEVATE imprint, gaining support from big techno artists such as Alan Fitzpatrick and Arjun Vagale. This relatively new love affair doesn’t warrant ditching the old faithful, however. As a DJ, Spettro continues to take listeners on a journey through dub, disco-tinged house, deep house, deep tech, and of course, all shades of techno. And as a producer, all his tracks have one thing in common — dub. Even though he experienced success early on in his career — 2002-2005, with releases on some of the biggest house labels of that era (Tango, Big Chief, Double Down, Brique Rouge, Simple Soul, and Amenti) — Spettro feels he’s just now stepping into his own as a producer and well-rounded DJ. Like a fine brandy that took years to mature, his new techno sound has taken years to develop, and all the while, he’s been constantly refining his bread-and-butter house sound. But being a late bloomer brings some of the sweetest fruit to bear, and in 2015, he released hit house single “Get Tropical” on prominent Get Physical Music.
