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. 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.
