David Guetta û the pioneer of French house with Up & Way, a
garage-style track with vocals by Robert Owens released in 1992
û really made a name for himself in the mid-90s as one of the
key catalysts of Parisian nightlife by promoting evenings at
such renowned Paris hot spots as Folies Pigalle, Queen,
Bataclan, Palace and Les Bains, where he invited DJ legends
like Little Louie Vega, David Morales, DJ Pierre and Roger
Sanchez to join him on the turntables. In 2001, however, he
went back to his first love: making music.
Launched by the single Just A Little More Love, an
electro-funk-house cocktail featuring Chris Willis of the band
Nashville on vocals, David GuettaÆs first album was released by
Virgin in June 2002 and went on to sell 250,000 copies. This
resounding success carried through in the albumÆs second, even
more devastating single, Love Don't Let Me Go, a track
reminiscent of Moroderæs techno-disco style crossed with
Depeche ModeÆs new-wave sound.
Like fellow Frenchman Laurent Garnier, David started off his
career in the gay clubs around ParisÆ Les Halles district in
the mid-80s, going on to make a name for himself in acid-house
and hip-hop. His first album heralded the beginning of a new DJ
career û this time on a global level. Named after the parties
he hosts on Ibiza, the fabled isle of techno, DavidÆs F*** ME
I'M FAMOUS: IBIZA DJ MIX, which featured his remix of David
BowieÆs Heroes, went gold: no small feat for a compilation CD.
For the last three years, David has been invited to mix
throughout Europe on a regular basis and, more and more often,
in the United States, Australia, Japan, Singapore and Israel as
well. He is also resident DJ at The Cross in London, Barcelona
æs Discoteca and the Lausanne club Mad.
Propelled by the rock guitars of the single Money, DavidÆs
second album, GUETTA BLASTER, is even gutsier. David and
Joachim Garraud (the first albumÆs co-composer and co-producer)
applied themselves to creating real songs modeled on
electro-pop classics of the 80s by such masters as Depeche
Mode, Yazoo, Dead Or Alive and New Order, to name the most
prominent influences. All the tracks on this second album are
original compositions. The gospel sounds of Chris Willis and
the stylings of guest vocalists JD Davis (lead singer of
Sinema), James Perry (alias Jimmy Polo, renowned
singer/producer on the Chicago scene) and BritainÆs Stereo MCs
give the tracks a unique luster, while the production skills of
Guetta and Garraud lift the album to new û and always
spectacular û heights.
From GUETTA BLASTERÆs opening salvos, Money and Stay, we get
beats that are cranked up a notch beyond the hard-dance formula
of Just A Little More Love. Without an ounce of hesitation, the
album launches itself at the experimental roots of house music
and cold-wave, displaying an unexpected stylistic versatility,
then oscillates between powerful mixtures of hot & cold and
black & white. The result is 100% addictive.
Used To Be The One, with vocals by Willis, owes a debt to both
YazooÆs Don't Go and garage music. Similarly, the counterpoint
of Time evokes EurythmicsÆ Sweet Dreams, blending the best of
English pop and dance culture û something David has mastered
like no one else. Open Your Eyes, a track tailor-made for the
Stereo MCs, is built on a rubbery break beat and an acid
sequence, with a rap that brings their classic Connected to
mind. The abrasive AC/DC, clearly a future hit on the
underground/rave circuit, is like the missing link between Jeff
Mills and Ministry Of Sound.
Two velvet-smooth cuts neatly crown the album: In Love With
Myself, a track that could hold its own against Moroder &
OakeyÆs Electric Dreams any day, is followed by Higher, on
which Chris Willis pays homage to the style of phrasing and
embellishment popularized by Stevie Wonder, an approach that
has proliferated in both R&B and garage/house music α la New
Jersey duo Blaze. GUETTA BLASTER drives its point home with the
metronomic Movement Girl, featuring James Perry, and the killer
Get Up, on which macho riffs, the hysterical falsetto of Chris
Willis and screaming guitars swirl around a punchy beat.
On GUETTA BLASTER, David Guetta has not only successfully
avoided the pitfalls of second albums û he has truly launched
himself into a new dimension.
