RELNOTES..:
David Guetta the pioneer of French house with Up & Way, a garage-style track
with vocals by Robert Owens released in 1992 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 Guettas first
album was released by Virgin in June 2002 and went on to sell 250,000 copies.
This resounding success carried through in the albums second, even more
devastating single, Love Don't Let Me Go, a track reminiscent of Moroders
techno-disco style crossed with Depeche Modes new-wave sound.
Like fellow Frenchman Laurent Garnier, David started off his career in the gay
clubs around Paris 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 this time on a global level. Named after the parties he hosts on
Ibiza, the fabled isle of techno, Davids F*** ME I'M FAMOUS: IBIZA DJ MIX, which
featured his remix of David Bowies 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 s Discoteca and the Lausanne club Mad.
Propelled by the rock guitars of the single Money, Davids second album, GUETTA
BLASTER, is even gutsier. David and Joachim Garraud (the first albums
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
Britains Stereo MCs give the tracks a unique luster, while the production skills
of Guetta and Garraud lift the album to new and always spectacular heights.
From GUETTA BLASTERs 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 Yazoos Don't Go
and garage music. Similarly, the counterpoint of Time evokes Eurythmics Sweet
Dreams, blending the best of English pop and dance culture 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 & Oakeys 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 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 he has truly launched himself into a new dimension.
