“If Guetta makes it, then it’s a hit,” promises DOECHII on “Trampoline,” the newest collaboration from iconic beatsmiths David Guetta and Afrojack. If the success of their last single, “Hero,” is any indication—it’s currently nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Recording at the 2022 Grammy Awards—then DOECHII is right on target. Featuring vocals from Missy Elliott and BIA, the hip-hop-infused “Trampoline” is out now via Parametric Records and Artist Partner Group. “Bounce that shit. Make it go,” its lyrics urge, backed by a minimalistic bass line and zingy synths. You can practically envision Elliott, BIA and DOECHII in the studio putting this one together, strutting around with the boss energy that their c...
David Guetta‘s earliest international hits saw the synthesis of dance-pop and hip-hop. The superstar DJ’s innovation yielded “Memories” alongside Kid Cudi and “I Gotta Feeling” with The Black Eyed Peas, among other timeless classics. Guetta is now revitalizing his winning formula for a new generation of hip-hop fans. Teaming up with Kodak Black to remix the rapper’s “Super Gremlin,” Guetta pumps the song into overdrive with an electro production chock full of nostalgia. The forebear of Future Rave has always had a sixth sense for defining new creative lanes, and with his latest remix, he is fittingly defining the sound as “Trap House.” Preserving the menacing chord progression of the original, Guetta plays up the omino...

David Guetta took to social media to share a wholesome clip of Olivia Rodrigo, who—years before she got her driver’s license—belted out his and Sia’s classic dance hit “Titanium” at only 10. The track, which was released on Guetta’s Nothing but the Beat album, took over the radio in 2011 and played a pivotal role in bringing dance music to the mainstream. Fast-forward 11 years and Rodrigo is dominating contemporary music, much like Guetta did.

In a recent interview, David Guetta confidently asserted, “I think the next few years will be the best years for dance music in history.” Guetta is wasting no time in doing his part to carry the weight of those words.

After treating fans to a livestream performance at Musée du Louvre during his “United at Home” NYE 2020 performance in Paris, Guetta reprised the magic during a blockbuster performance on New Year’s Day from The Louvre in Abu Dhabi. Guetta performed atop a platform on the surface of the historic museum’s tidal pools. The forward-thinking design of the venue is said to give visitors the illusion of visiting a museum...
Get ready for the best years in electronic music history, says David Guetta. “I think the next few years will be the best years for dance music in history,” declared the DJ and chart-topping producer in a recent interview with the Evening Standard. With the uprooting of many lives across the globe during the pandemic, a myriad of issues followed, like the deterioration of mental health. Since fans and musicians were unable to connect in-person, they had to make an abrupt and not-so-smooth transition into livestreaming, NFTs, and the metaverse, among other mediums.

A year after showering the Musée du Louvre in lights during his “United at Home” NYE 2020 performance in Paris, David Guetta is set to repeat the magic at the Louvre in Abu Dhabi. The chart-topping French DJ has actually called the UAE his second home since 2015 after purchasing property on the Dubai Marina. Guetta has become a mainstay of the region since then and says his upcoming NYE performance is about “showing gratitude.” Guetta elaborates that the goal of his shows has always been to bring communities together, and he sees the UAE specifically as a diverse cultural hub that the world could potentially learn from. “The best example we can find is in Abu Dhabi or even in Dubai where you have 200 different nationalities living in harmony,” ...
