Razor and Blade was formed in Asheville North
Carolina in the summer of 2010. Composed of
Josh Naster and Joe Mattingly, both accomplished
DJs, the pair quickly realized their mutual
passion for electronic dance music. But simply
DJing or producing music using computer software
wasn't enough. They both had a strong urge to
perform and play the music they so dearly loved
in a live setting using every tool available
to them...except for a computer.
And so the experiment began.
Sourcing gear as they could, the pair began
to get a feel for what it was that they were
trying to do. The early stages were humble,
using house influenced beats with sequenced
bass lines and melodic guitar loops. The simple
sound had a soul, and soon Razor and Blade were
becoming recognized as something special. Within
a short period of time the two producers were
playing gigs alongside internationally recognized
talent.
Razor and Blade has come a long way from it's
inception, the live sets now consisting of multiple
genres of electronic music including drum and
bass, hip hop, and dubstep. The live rig has
expanded as well, including various samplers,
drum machines, synthesizers and effects. Constantly
evolving and re-inventing itself, no Razor and
Blade set is ever the same, which adds to the
fun of seeing it in person!
