Sunday, June 28 DAVID GUETTA AT THE REGENCY CENTER with support from DJs: Frenchy le Freak Pheeko Dubfunk Trevor Simpson PURCHASE TICKETS 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. 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.
