I seen Guetta in Pacha, Ibiza in 2000 playing with Eric Morillo. Amazing DJ back then playing quality house music.

He's completely sold out but if I was presented a big bag of money to play **** music for a few hours, I'd do the same.

Im from a generation when playing ment using instruments, being a dj ment playing discs, still dont know what the guys do, judge jules, I dont get it

Judge Jules is a cock of the highest order.
A good DJ can use records as instruments layering beats, textures and sounds on top of each other

Im beginning to see a pattern here, how do all these talentless gits get so famous, why do tracks need to be layered and mixed anyway, most dance tracks are pretty dancable on their own, blending with other tracks is not really necessary

the blending of tracks creates a seemless flow to a nites music.

Fair enough, but we're talking about David Guietta that owns the chippers in Ahascragh.

If you're a troll then you should be paid to come out with gems like this.

It was more for this comment, it highlights an extrodinarily narrow view when talking about DJ's and Djing

most dance tracks are pretty dancable on their own, blending with other tracks is not really necessary

- Guetta is not really considered a 'DJ' by most aficionados these days so in answer to your OP I would say that it is as you saw on the tin - He punched 'Play' on the CD player or laptop and that was the extent of it.

Sad but True.

Thanks momma , you confirmed my suspisions, these dj are a crowd of fakes

No defending Guetta or any of them, but most decks these days are USB play out. If they are on a hub, you won't see disc's etc nor does each player need a USB stick each.

Guetta got some rap over Tomorrowland last year but it turned out the section where his faders are all down was actually part of the show where the power was out, he was just keeping the crowd entertained.

There is a good video out there that Van Buuren did about how DJ's sync up with the lighting systems etc. I believe his VDJ set up in a APC40. Worth a watch alright, if I can find it I'll post it up.

Thanks iron for some level of explanation, so its on usb, he may as well put the full mix on one usb, plug it in press play, and spend the rest of the evening in the pub, come back and collect his dosh:mad:

Probably what he does!

I know Tiestos entire set is on about 4 USB's. 2 for use and 2 back ups.

Guetta is a producer rather than a dj, he has created a brand around himself and found the best way to sell tonnes of downloads and get huge money for doing gigs that any decent dj could do just as well as he could. More power to him I say. If you don't like his chart music don't listen to it (I hate it btw).

That could be a fair point,however,Guetta markets himself as a DJ and gigs under the same pretence....stood there on stage behind a set of decks and doing nothing other than 'miming' actions and fooling the kids that fork out to hear their favourite "DJ" , it's illusion at its finest imo.

The majority of hating on him is because of this more so than the music he's supposedly "making" ,atleast that's why I cant stand the over hyped twat and hate what he stands for!

I've no opinion on his "music" as I don't listen to it or expose myself to it,its nothing near what I like to listen to.

The guy is a fake and if there are kids out there silly enough to buy into his bull**** then so be it,they deserve to have their money taken off of them.

btw - that cocofm article is just a pisstake, its one of those pisstake websites....but its a pisstake sprinkled with tongue in cheek truths!

That's a spoof site, both stories are made up. I doubt David guetta cares what a few people on the Internet are saying about him, probably too busy counting all that dough he's making!

Sure, but most of us prefer not to dance to two or more minutes of simple stripped down intro's/outro's that are a feature in a lot of electronic club music.

When you hear a set by a dj, you can be sure that you're only hearing 3-4 minutes of an 8 minute song, the rest is for beatmatching/phrasing purposes etc...

Doesn't apply to all music, especially radio friendly stuff, which is usually much shorter and launches into the meat of the song within a few bars. Dancefloor 4/4 club stuff is generally more progressive.
