Best known as a versatile solo producer and owner of the revered Frite Nite label (B. Bravo, Eprom, Ana Sia), Salva promotes complexity through a synthesis of contrasting styles. His label, which has emerged as one of North America's premiere sources of West Coast electronic bass music, explores all corners of the electronic soundscape and harnesses diversity to produce composotions that transcend genre boundaries.

A Chicago native who developed his craft in San Francisco and currently resides in Los Angeles, Salva is an alum of the Red Bull Music Academy Class of 2011. He has produced exclusive mixes for Mary Anne Hobbs, The FADER, and XLR8R, while being asked to remix the likes of Miguel Migs, Rainbow Arabia, Om Unit and others. Honing his talents as one of the cornerstones of the Friends of Friends label alongside Shlohmo and Mexicans With Guns, Salva has released his debut full-length, 'Complex Housing', and the 'Yellobone' EP, both to critical acclaim (Pitchfork, FADER, FACT, and many others).

Salva's audacity results in a complex collection of dips into house motifs, grooves in smooth boogie funk, and audience roiling massive bass waves. With support from BBC's Benji B, the UK's Night Slugs imprint (Bok Bok, Girl Unit), and the Low End Theory residents (Gaslamp Killer, DJ Nobody, Daddy Kev), it's The FADER's Julianne Shepherd that sums up the man best: "Paul Salva is a funky motherfucker".
