After two consecutive wins, David Guetta has been knocked off the top spot, but is still very much one of the most prominent electronic artists in the world. In the last year, he has continued to produce chart-topping hits such as ‘What Would You Do’ with Joel Corry and Bryson Tiller, ‘Crazy What Love Can Do’ with Becky Hill and Ella Henderson, and ‘Permanence’ with MORTEN. His most recent tune, ‘I’m Good (Blue)’ with Bebe Rexha, gave him his seventh UK number one as an artist and his 10th number one as a producer. All this means that he has now amassed over 65 million record sales and more than 10 billion streams, which are numbers few can match.

After finishing just outside of the Top 100 in 2021, this year German DJ and producer Cuebrick breaks in for the first time this year. He now sits at the top table of global dance music after standout shows everywhere from Los Angeles to San Francisco, Singapore to Bangkok.

While releasing big tunes on labels like Spinnin Records, Armada and Ultra Music, he also works as a radio-host on bigFM’s nitroX show, which is the biggest radio platform for electronic music in Germany.

This year he has worked on a new sound which he says “can best be described as a fusion of different elements from genres such as techno, hard techno, and trance. Hard techno kicks are the foundation, with classic trance synthesizers.” It’s a sound that has seemingly connected with fans, who will be pleased to learn Cuebrick has signed a deal meaning “Smash the House will be the main home for my music for at least the next two years.”
