David Guetta

From:Paris, France

DJ style:Dance, future rave

Best known for:F*** Me I’m Famous!

David Guetta is one of the world’s most streamed artists on Spotify, the only DJ to have two separate Ibiza residencies, and is the proud owner of two Grammy Awards. Despite a lifetime of success, one of his team tells us “he’s still addicted to music”. The sheer amount of songs he has released in 2024 backs that up.

Just as impressive as the number of tracks he has put out is the variety. There have been pop smashes with OneRepublic such as ‘I Don’t Wanna Wait’, unlikely blends of country, hip-hop and dance music on ‘A Bar Song’ with Shaboozey, and summer smashes like ‘Cry Baby’ with British electronic group Clean Bandit and English singer Anne-Marie.

On a more club-centric tip, he dropped ‘Never Going Home Tonight’ with Alesso and vocals from Madison Love, ‘In The Dark’ featuring Aldae with fellow Top 100 regular Armin van Buuren, ‘Raving’ with Afrojack, ‘Chills (Feel My Love)’ with FAST BOY and Oliver Heldens, and a couple of tunes with his Future Rave partner Morten including ‘Kill The Vibe’, which also featured Propechy.

From:Italy

DJ style:“Melodic house / house.”

Best known for:“‘Piece Of Your Heart’, ‘Lose Control’, ‘Paradise’ and some other songs.”

Luca Gregorio, Mattia Vitale, and Simone Giani form MEDUZA. The trio’s pop-tinged house music tracks have gained them a devoted fan base worldwide, surmounted countless listens across all the streaming platforms, made daytime radio and stormed official chart positions across the globe. With effortlessly catchy vocals by the likes of Becky Hill, Goodboys and Dermot Kennedy, their productions delve into the worlds of pop and dance in equal measure. Their debut single ‘Piece Of Your Heart’ was released in 2019: an instant hit that shot them to fame, they’ve been unstoppable ever since. Their first release of this year was the single ‘Dola re Dola’, featuring Varun Jain and was a tribute to the Bollywood film Devdas. ‘Money (Can’t Save Us)’ featuring NY-born artist Alec Monopoly soon followed, and most recently for MEDUZA’s latest single ‘Another World’ they teamed up with British singer and songwriter HAYLA. In the live sphere, it’s often Vitale that takes the stage behind the decks, with sets designed for the peak time with plenty of snare rolls, euphoric breakdowns, trance basslines and the occasional sound of 303 acid.
