David Guetta

The man behind some of the biggest anthems of the past few years, David Guetta is probably the best of his kind.

Previously not a house music fan, my mind was changed after a friend bought me a ticket to see David Guetta at Alexandra Palace in 2012. Reluctantly I went along, little did I know that after a 3 hour set, I would be converted forever!

Opening with ‘Titanium’ and following up with by blasting out hits like ‘When Love Takes Over’, ‘Sweat’ and ‘Wild Ones’, the crowd were sent into a frenzy as the energy in the room just kept on rising.

Clearly displaying why he is so respected by fellow DJs and artists alike, it may sound cheesy, but it really seemed like this is what David Guetta was born to do, as his permanent smile revealed just how much he was enjoying every minute. Huge production, made up of fireworks and confetti cannons, made the show even better.

It has always astounded me how DJs are able to sell out arenas, even stadiums in some parts of the world. The secret is in the infectiousness of their beats, something the David Guetta has perfected, making him one of the best. He has definitely converted me into a lifelong house music fan.

Kathleen Fisher is wearing a flowing black dress. Her hair looks like it’s been dipped in polyurethane strand by strand, set to dry and given an acetate finish. It’s so black and glossy it seems to radiate its own light. She’s flanked by her faithful piano counterpart, Ron Wasserman, who writes the songs, which they perform under the collective identity (also can be called ‘band’), Fisher.
Wasserman is in fact famous for composing the Power Rangers theme tune, ‘Go Go Power Rangers’. Fisher’s music is more low key than that explosive hit. Wasserman’s sort of the understated creative agent, whereas Fisher is the heroine with the knock-out voice. Together they make as great a team as Jack Spratt and his wife.
They were also one of the most prescient bands to utilise the Net as a means of distribution, being named one of the biggest internet bands by Time Magazine way back in 2000. They hit number 36 in the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart with ‘I Will Love You’. At the time it was the most downloaded song in history.
But the most phenomenal thing is Fisher’s voice. It is the kind of voice that has a physical presence that you can almost feel brushing past you.
