GTA and Disco Donnie Presents are Taking Over Florida
Though Matt van Toth and Julio Mejia of GTA haven’t been in the scene for long, they know exactly how to steal the show with their unique blend of funky rhythms. After meeting each other through a mutual friend online, the Miami natives uncovered an instant chemistry and immediately went to work in the studio, “[We knew collaborating would be a good idea] the first couple of times we met up and made some tracks. Literally, the first song we made got picked up by Afrojack for his label, which didn’t get released because we couldn’t get the sample cleared, but that was literally the first track we made together.”
Since their official debut with “It’s Time,” the two have gone on to release music on Diplo’s Mad Decent and off-shoot project Jeffree’s, Laidback Luke’s Mixmash, A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold Records, and Steve Angello’s Size Records – and they are just getting started.

Unashamed by their outright refusal to be pigeonholed in any one category, GTA’s originals, remixes, mixes, and live sets range from trap, house, moombahton, electro, booty bass, salsa, big room, and anything they can put their spin on. With their popular mixtape series-turned-tour, “Death to Genres,” GTA promises to get all the bodies moving no matter the tempo; no matter the genre.

This coming May, the Miami natives are set to invade their home state with a three-day GTA Florida Takeover tour. Touching down in Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa, boy oh boy are we in for a good time. Join us on our partnering dates as GTA gives the finger to genres:
