SUPERSTAR DJ AND PRODUCER DAVID GUETTA
Globally Acclaimed Hits From David Guetta Remixed
Exclusively For DJ Hero
Hailed as the “#1 Best Video Game Right Now” by Rolling Stone
and “an impressive piece of work” by Entertainment Weekly, the DJ Hero™ set list
is expanding again with the addition of three new downloadable tracks. Beginning
today, living room legends and budding superstar DJ’s alike are invited to
experience the euphoric rhythms of David Guetta and keep the party going with
downloadable remixes of the ubiquitous “When Love Takes Over” featuring Kelly
Rowland, the chart topping “Sexy Chick” featuring Akon and “On The Dancefloor”
featuring will.i.am and apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas.
Performing since the 90’s, David Guetta is credited as a
prominent figure in the rise of dance and house music and a major influence in
the clubs of Paris. Since relentlessly touring internationally, performing in
the hottest parties, coolest clubs and headlining major festivals, David is now
firmly established as the world’s leading artist in his field. Referred to as
the maestro of dance, his latest platinum album, the worldwide hit One Love,
which is currently dominating the charts and airwaves around the world with its
blend of electronic music and the greatest urban vocalists, is the source for
the three downloadable remixes now available in DJ Hero.
“As European ambassador for DJ Hero, I’m really excited about
the prospect of sharing my music and mixes with a new audience through this
dynamic medium” commented David Guetta. “I think it is fantastic that a game
like this can make the DJ’ing experience accessible to a whole new generation of
wannabe DJs.”
