David Guetta: Grrrr! (Toolroom)
Anyone bearing witness to the phenomenon of David Guetta at any of his 200 or so gigs will know his roots in clubland are deeper than ever. With the crowds in the palm of his hand, David effortlessly merges his signature sound – big room vocals fused with his darker techier underground side. It is this deeper side that dominates his forthcoming release ‘Grrrr!’ out on UK House label stalwarts, Toolroom Records.
With global sales of more than 4 million singles and 2 million albums under his belt, road-blocked gigs from Space Miami to Ibiza, Cocoon to Cavo Paradiso, Glastonbury to Manchester’s Warehouse Project, David treads the tightrope between world-class club DJ and huge crossover success. Yet even as he morphs into one of the most recognisable DJ/Producers on the planet, he still loves to turn out underground club tracks. ‘Grrrr!’ throws us back into the middle of the dark and sweaty dancefloor.
During a recent collaboration in the studio with Mark Knight and Funkagenda, David passed Mark a copy of his new track, ‘Grrrr!’ which was quickly snapped up by Knight’s Toolroom label, for an exclusive summer release.
A straight up techy dance floor stomper, ‘Grrrr!’ has a buzzing bass-line and pulsating rhythm that sits perfectly alongside a thunderous kick-drum and cleverly thought out percussion, whilst rising FX sounds weave in and out of the mix.
David Guetta’s ‘Grrrr!’ is released 19 October 2009 on Toolroom Records.
