Of all the parts of his renaissance life it's this that is key – he's a DJ first, everything else follows.One of his favourite gigs was during his phenomenal US tour. He's wants to entertain as many people as possible – show everyone a great time – but never at the expense of being a DJ. The big venues are great but sometimes playing to so many people forces you to repeat the same tricks.'That explains a lot about David Guetta. Now I balance the big shows with more intimate club gigs were I can play more new sounds. At first I wanted to play only to the biggest crowds possible, because it's like a drug.
'It feels very good, of course, because of the energy you receive from the people. 'At the Brazil carnival I spun to two million people and I've played to up to 200,000 a few times,' he says with pride but without arrogance. That adds up to around 4,500,000 dancers before you even count the club gigs or the Pacha Ibiza residency! It's such a buzz playing to big crowds, but he's never out of a club for too long.
In fact, David's video's hold the Number 1 and No 3 spots in the most watched Electronica clips on Youtube – worldwide and of all time!This summer has seen Guetta play to an incredible array of people, calling in at Love Parade, Bahia Carnival, Queensday, Techno Parade and Global Gathering. With around 50 million hits on YouTube (and climbing fast), David is as popular outside of nightclubs as he is in them. Guetta is also the most requested artist for summer compilations on the whole of EMI. In America for example all of ‘Pop Life's singles smashed into the Billboard Dance airplay top ten and Love Is Gone refused to leave the No.1 spot on iTunes Dance USA for three months - while the album went gold in multiple territories across Europe. A huge star in France for over a decade, David is following that success worldwide. With DJ sets at hundreds of the coolest clubs each year and record sales clocking in at more than three million singles and almost 2 million albums – half a million of which are for his latest artist long player ‘Pop Life' – it's clear that his own path is a fruitful one. I'm trying to do something different.'And it's working. But it's also very easy to be totally pop, because it's very formulaic too. It's very easy to be underground because you just have to obey a set of codes. 'I'm not trying to be credible,' David admits with a smile broadening across his soft, open face. That he won a World Music Award and was voted the best house DJ in the DJmag Top 100 in the same year is a credit to his ability to work in both of these seemingly disparate worlds.
DAVID GUETTA SIA TITANIUM INSTRUMENTAL DOWNLOAD TV
That's because he uniquely and boldly treads a tightrope most DJs wouldn't dare to traverse: the line between being an underground DJ and having huge crossover success.That might not sound like two worlds that go together, but David flits between French prime-time TV appearances, deep sets at Space Miami and producing music that appeals to clubbers and also way beyond with apparent ease. Whether it's 50,000 fans singing along to his hit records at the recent massive Stade De France stadium Unighted über-party, or dark rooms of clubbers locked in the groove nine hours into his set, Guetta gets passions flowing. There are few DJs in the world that create the reaction that David Guetta sparks.
