<description><![CDATA[You could be forgiven for thinking that David Guetta is famous simply for being famous: that's the message, however ironic, of "F*** Me I'm Famous," the name of both his long-running Ibiza residency and his first mix CD. But the French DJ and producer has earned his acclaim, repurposing soulful deep house with a shiny French touch and adding radio-ready vocals for a package that's pure pop panache.
<P>
Guetta's career as a producer began in 1992, when he released "Up and Away" with the Chicago vocalist Robert Owens, but it wasn't until seven years later that he returned with "Just a Little More Love," a catchy tribal-house cut. The following year, his debut album proved that its title cut was no fluke: full of hooks and vocals, the record augmented charging house beats with touches of gospel and electro and even a jubilant remix of David Bowie's "Heroes." In 2004 Guetta returned with <I>Guetta Blaster</I>, featuring club hits like Depeche Mode-flavored "The World Is Mine" and "Love Don't Let Me Go Walking Away," his smash collaboration with U.K. festival favorites the Egg; it also includes a rare downtempo remix from Paul Oakenfold. In 2009 he set his eyes firmly on the pop charts with <I>One Love</I>, featuring guest vocals from Ne-Yo, Kid Cudi and Will.I.Am. </P>

<description><![CDATA[London's rising chill-out supastars Tom Findlay and Andy Cato are equipped with a "beats 'n' brass" sound that tones down the cheekiness of Tummy Touch label owner and friend Tim "Love" Lee. Revealing a jazz-tinted collection of disco, funk and house nuances that glitter like the contents of a treasure chest, Groove Armada prove that the gritty can shine. Solidly fragmented mellowness erupts in slow motion on arrangements decorated with delectable melodic musings from trombones, flutes, trumpets, pianos and synths. Choice vocal samples add to the sweet sensuality of mixes that send a warm rush through your body like a smile from a visually-appealing stranger. Subtly uplifting, this duo's introspectively groovy style pleads with the summer season to stay a bit longer.

<description><![CDATA[Francophiles take note: here's the latest intelligent electronic pop outfit
a la Air, Les Rythmes Digitales and the Belgian-based Hooverphonic. Aptly
placed vocal snippets lounge over dreamy arrangements made up of nature
sounds; gentle, sparkling rhythms; electronic distortion; sweet swells and
spiky sound effects. The work of Stephan Haeri, Christophe Hetier (formerly
known as DJ Anti-Pop) and Fabrice Dumont of Autour de Lucie fame,
Telepopmusik's serene, smart sounds reached a whole new echelon of listeners
beyond the clubbing set when Mitsubishi set their song "Breathe" to an SUV
commercial in 2003.

<description><![CDATA[The worldwide dancefloor domination of Benny Benassi's "Satisfaction" has proven very, well, <I>pleasing</I>, to this lifelong fan of 1980s electronica, and indeed the influence of Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and Giorgio Moroder can be clearly heard in the track's mechanized vocals and lush, driving beats. Benassi describes this dirty electro-house style as "hypnotech," and claims that the bassline for "Satisfaction" was created by his cousin Alle Benassi drawing inspiration from the sounds of traffic outside his hotel window. Much in demand for remixing duties, Benassi prefers to handpick what he likes and turn down the rest, going for quality rather than quantity. So far he has sat behind the mixing desk for Outkast, Goldfrapp, Robbie Rivera and Electric Six, among others. Production work includes his solo full-length outing, <I>Hypnotica</I>, along with his and Alle's "Benny Benassi presents The Biz" project, a more minimalist soundscape blending techno, electro and house. In 2004, Benny was nominated for three Dancestar awards and won for best video -- which just goes to show what you can achieve with some semi-naked women and a set of power tools.

<description><![CDATA[The floor-devastating potential of production duo Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton surfaced from the underground house scene with the release of their genre-swallowing debut <i>Remedy</i> in 1999. No strangers to celebratory sounds, these skillful collaborators honed their talents over the period of an entire decade that saw a slew of remixes, white labels and independent releases. Carving out a class of their own in a manner familiar to contemporary style-setters Daft Punk, these South Londoners label their chunky, U.K.-endorsed fusion of New York and Chicago House "punk garage." Basement Jaxx turn out anthem after anthem filled with colorful memorabilia of hip-hop, disco, ragga, soul, Latin and R&B, leveling crowded clubs and critics' circles alike with the force of tiny, trouble-causing tornadoes. Unequaled as yet.

<description><![CDATA[Rune Reilly Kolsch (aka Rune, Rune RK and Enur) struck gold in 2003 with his first release, "Calabria," a sax-driven soca-house anthem; in 2005, DJ Alex Gaudino fused it with Crystal Waters' "Destination Unknown," releasing the mash-up as "Destination Calabria." (Destination No. 4 on the U.K. singles chart would also be correct.) Not to be outdone, Rune -- now recording as Enur -- re-released the track in 2007, featuring vocals from the Danish reggae singer Natasja Saad. Remixes from Mims and Vybz Kartel, a skin-baring video and nonstop club play helped ensure the song's ubiquity.
<P>
The Danish producer's populism hasn't cost him his credibility. When he teamed up with New York soulful-house mainstay Jerome Sydenham to remix Argy's "1985," it appeared on Hamburg's Liebe Detail, a heavy-hitter in the minimal-house niche. Even stranger is the revelation that the mysterious Ink and Needle as well as the Tattoo Rec label, whose vinyl-only singles are favorites of Europe's after-hours set, are also the work of Reilly Kolsch -- proof, perhaps, that an "underground" rep is also only skin deep.</P>

<description><![CDATA[Elusive French House figure Bob Sinclar has seduced many, but is recognized by none. You've heard rumors: sexual exploits with all of the world, run-ins with Jane Fonda, hassles with Daft Punk mastermind Thomas Bangalter, and obsessions for fine wine, gourmet dining and fast cars. But does anyone know who really lies under this hedonistic 1970s chic persona? Listen to his music and find yourself not only more confused, but also drawn into his imaginary world of international intrigue against your will. A globe-trotting DJ sensation who brings back the Disco era using techniques that rival Dimitri from Paris, Sinclar layers stylish synth swells, ghostly divas impersonating porn stars and mind-freeing melodies over sweltering House rhythms. A captivating crowd-charmer, Sinclar will make you drop your inhibitions and submit to his irresistible advances.

<description><![CDATA[Swedish DJ and producer Eric Prydz first burst onto the international club scene in 2004 with his chart-topper "Call on Me." The song, which sampled the Steve Winwood classic "Valerie," became a hit, topping the U.K. singles chart for six weeks. Before this success, Prydz was a drummer in the Swedish synth band, Enemy Alliance, a group that dreamt of becoming the next Kraftwerk. But after he began creating his own techno-funk tracks, he was eventually signed to the dance label Credence. Mixing elements of electro and minimal tech-house, Prydz creates peak-time floor fillers that are championed by some of the biggest DJs in the world. The prolific musician has also founded three successful dance labels.

<description><![CDATA[Born and bred in Chi Town, the former b-boy, party promoter, seasoned radio jock and founder of International House Records Bad Boy Bill turns out stomping House grooves with a lethal beat attitude. Attempting to inject a bit of hip-hop culture into the international club consciousness, this accomplished remixer/producer powers up driving beats and up-tempo rhythms with tough, self-referential vocal samples. Likely to gain a slot on an urban station's late night club radio show, Bad Boy Bill's adrenaline-pumpers feature turntable tricks aplenty.

<description><![CDATA[Described by the now-defunct <I>The Face</I> magazine as "Scotland's answer to Royksopp," Mylo (aka Myles MacInnes) burst onto the British electronic music scene in 2004 with <I>Destroy Rock And Roll</I>. His sound, a refreshing blend of house and poppy electro with fat bass lines and clever samples, belied the fact that the album was mostly created at home on his computer. Such self-sufficiency also led to Myles eschewing the need for label representation and instead creating his own -- Breastfed -- with a couple of friends. Hugely popular, and making many a critic's top 10 albums of the year in 2004, his debut set MacInnes up on the international DJing and live performance circuit, with remixing work coming in from Sia, Annie and the Scissor Sisters. He also wisely chose to embrace the mash-up phenomenon by agreeing to release "Doctor Pressure" -- a blend of his "Drop the Pressure" hit and "Doctor Beat" by the Miami Sound Machine.

<description><![CDATA[Describing his style as "percussive wet funk," Timo Maas has come a long way from his early days spinning chart hits and simple trance at friends' parties in Germany. An early hit with "Mama Konda" (1997) under his Orinoko moniker caught the attention of some big names in the dance world and he soon picked up several high profile residencies, including a regular slot at New York's Twilo. By this time he had moved on to a big beat progressive house sound, with remixes by Azzido Da Bass' "Dooms Night" and Lustral's epic "Everytime" cementing his reputation. His debut solo work (actually recorded with long-time production partner Martin Buttrich) <I>Loud</I> (2002) took both fans and critics by surprise. Instead of a predictably banging techno-electro-house energy fest, he produced something altogether more thoughtful. Tracks like "Help Me" almost had a pop feel to them, the break beat monster, "Shifter" would remain a club classic for years to come while "To Get Down" and "Ubik" called to mind Blancmange and Heaven 17 in the best ways possible. <I>Pictures</I> (2005) confounded fans once again and proved to be an altogether more mellow affair, leaning closer to the rock world than house, perhaps reflecting a more calm private life resulting from marriage and parenthood.

<description><![CDATA[Respected throughout the world for his DJ skills and legendary remixes, David Morales assumed legendary status alongside compatriots Frankie Knuckles, Junior Vasquez and Todd Terry as an overseer of the Disco/House changeover. Currently one of the most highly paid remixers in dance music, Brooklyn-born Morales remixed for the likes of such chart toppers as Mariah Carey, Madonna, U2, Tina Turner, Bjork, and Michael and Janet Jackson. Though his reworkings lean toward the mid-tempo, Morales showcases his tougher tendencies as a DJ. Chart-busting anthems, designed to fling crowds into sweaty oblivion, are slick, bass-heavy and touched with a soulful, classy sensibility.

<description><![CDATA[Smart, techno-influenced rock with robotic rhythms and big guitars kicking the door down and opening things up for Beatles-heavy harmonies. An eclectic blend of grunge guitars and angular electronic fronted by a Trent Reznor-esque, sex-damaged, futuro-screamer. And it rocks.

<description><![CDATA[As DJ, producer, remixer, label owner, TV host, platinum selling artist and Grammy winner, Erick Morillo's career is emblematic of the multi-tasking artists who lead the underground house movement in the 1990s. His achievements in the dance music genre -- and his longevity -- have earned him recognition on the international club scene. Born in Colombia and raised in New Jersey, Morillo's style is influenced by early Latin music, hip hop and reggae. After his first dance floor hit, 1993's "I Like to Move It," under the pseudonym Reel 2 Reel, Morillo began performing up to 30 club gigs a month. He started the record label Subliminal Records, and also became one of the few American DJs to hold a residency at London's Ministry of Sound. In 2004, he released his first studio album, <i>My World</i>, featuring collaborations with Puff Daddy, Terra Deva, DJ Rap and Audio Bullys. In 2007, Morillo was asked by Prince Harry and Prince William to DJ at the official <i>Concert For Diana</i> after party.

<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest names among Chicago's second generation of House producers, DJ Sneak's international influence can be heard in such acts as Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx. Acclaimed for an infectiously hard brand of House that manipulates chunky beats and funky hooks, DJ Sneak's stealthy grooves are essential picks for any peak-time set.

<description><![CDATA[Philly producer/DJ King Britt is a hard one to pin down. One minute he's touring with coffee-shop rap pioneers Digable Planets, the next he's spinning beside Josh Wink at some of the biggest house clubs in the world. Along with Wink, he's responsible for seminal house track "Tribal Confusion," released under the E-Culture moniker, and also founded the important Ovum Recordings label. But it quickly became apparent in 1998 that Britt wasn't willing to stay in his lane. His solo debut, 1998's <i>When the Funk Hit the Fan</i>, was a tribute to Philly funk legends. The producer pivoted again with the 2003 album <i>Adventures in Lo-Fi</i>, which was a full-on indie hip-hop album. But despite what genre he dabbled in, all of his work is marked by a smooth, jazz-informed undercurrent that summons a credible vision of modern urban cool.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tailored to the dancefloor, Joey Negro arrived at his crowd-pumping Garage style after two decade's worth of studio training. Recognized by twelve different aliases, this rising U.K.-based club icon rounds up the best of Disco, jazz, Soul and Funk within a House format. Severe diva vocal hooks spread through each throbbing mix like a forest fire on a windy summer day. Subliminally stunning sound effects dive downward into a blend of contemporary British clubbiness, woven with classic rhythms and a general dance sense of all that is aurally pleasing and euphoria-producing. Ideal for those with a need to go higher.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Formed in 2001, Audio Bullys are Simon Franks and Tom Dinsdale, two suburban Londoners who grew up listening to hardcore, garage and house, along with the Kinks, the Beatles and the Specials. Franks grew up in a musical family, learning to play piano and drums at an early age. Dinsdale took the DJing route and was resident at London's Milk N' 2 Sugars event at the age of 17. Their love of a good tune, combined with a passion for cutting loose and larging it with the masses, was entirely evident in their debut release, <I>Ego War</I> (2003). Dubbed "lad house," their sound neatly blended all their influences and picked up where Basement Jaxx left off -- dance music for people who want a bit of a shout. The initial single "We Don't Care" set out their manifesto, and club land embraced it. Their lyrical approach is much like that of the Streets' Mike Skinner: small tales of urban life and general reactions to the everyday. Their follow-up, <I>Generation</I> (2006), suffered slightly from second album syndrome, but nonetheless still demonstrated their musical skill, particularly with the single "Shot You Down" that sampled Nancy Sinatra's <I>Kill Bill</I> soundtrack opener, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)."

<description><![CDATA[Formed by two French producers known in the early 1990s as Mo' Wax abstract beatsters La Funk Mob, this Pop/House hybrid calls the Astralwerks label home. Before joining the legion of French House producers as Cassius in 1998, Hubert Blanc-Francard (aka Boombass) and Philippe Zdar contributed separately to the international music scene on a variety of projects, including production credit for MC Solaar's debut album and a collaboration with Etienne de Crecy known as Motorbass. Under the Cassius guise, these two hip-hop fiends filter tidbits of Techno, Funk and Disco through a House formula to create a style that's bass-heavy, pop-approved and patriotic.

<description><![CDATA[A puzzling figure on the Parisian scene, French House artist, Alex Gopher skips styles with ease. From relaxed, downbeat grooves to funk-infused party-friendly cuts, this V2 recording act supports each sonic morsel with thick jazz influences. Less introspective than Air and missing the flamboyance of Dimitri from Paris and Bob Sinclar, Gopher turns out grooves too inviting to keep confined to your home speakers. A variety of vocals move from sultry and suave to motivating and moveable in the manner known to Groove Armada. Svelte rhythms bring deep-seated desires to the surface of your soul, while elegantly casual melodies make Gopher's tracks acceptable in any white wine-serving, chill setting.

<description><![CDATA[Best known for his hugely popular single "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" (2000), Cristiano Spiller started as a DJ at 14, playing local clubs in his home town of Venice before gaining residences all over Italy. His production work began in 1995, and within two years he made it into the UK top 30 with "Spiller From Rio" under the name 'Laguna'. "Groovejet" named after a Miami club, was originally an instrumental on his <I>Mighty Miami EP</I> but in 2000 he re-recorded the track with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, former lead singer of The Audience. His crystal clear production style worked well with her precise vocals, and the result was a worldwide hit, infecting dance floors with its catchy chorus and latin-fused House. Production work followed for artists as diverse as Run-D.M.C, Gloria Gaynor and St. Germain followed.

<description><![CDATA[An early ambassador of House music to the French dance community, Parisian DJ Gregory (Gregory Darsa) has been described as âthe cherished DJ of all the soulful dance floors of the capitalâ. Like many before him, Gregory moved to New York to master the history and techniques behind House, before returning to Paris to start a rare-Vinyl import business, which lead him to fellow trainspotters DJ Deep and Alex from Tokyo and their âFGâ radio show. As their on-air popularity grew, so did the live bookings, and soon Gregory was holding court at Folies Pigalles alongside Dimitri from Paris and Daft Punk. Production work followed with the release of hit remix âSunshine Peopleâ under the name Fantom with Julien Jabre. One of the original members of Bob Sinclarâs âAfricanismâ Project, it is no surprise that Gregory uses less of the filtered happy-house sound of his contemporaries, preferring to blend African Rhythms and vocal loops into a heavy on the cymbals retro-disco colonial French House sound that is both catchy and funky. âTropical Soundclashâ (2002) showcases this sound perfectly, as does the club anthem âElleâ (2003).

<description><![CDATA[Created in 1999, Shakedown are brothers Sebastien and Stephan Kohler, although they prefer to be known as Seb K and Mandrax. Growing up in Switzerland, they left for England and the USA respectively to develop their musical careers. Seb K worked as a sound engineer, and then returned to Switzerland to start the Bel Air Project with Alex Attias, releasing a couple of funky/experimental drum n' bass singles. Mandrax meanwhile was in NY, where he co-founded the Liquid Groove and Boombastic labels with pre-everybody House producer legend Mike Delgado. Returning to Switzerland in 1999, Mandrax started the Shakedown project with his brother initially as a production team for other artists, but they continued to develop their own sound, and the result was their debut album <I>You Think You Know</I> (2001). The single "At Night" followed in 2002, and quickly became a club anthem (climbing to no. 6 on the UK Singles chart) with its electro soul fun-loving vibe and deep funky beats.

<description><![CDATA[Learning his mixing skills at his Saturday job in Time Is Right records in Chapel Market Islington, Deluxe forged connections that lead to the foundation of Ice Cream Records, a Speed garage imprint, and released "Rip Groove" under the 'Double 99' moniker with Omar Amidora. By 2001 Deluxe had gone solo to pursue a more Latin inspired house sound, and his first track "Sirens" was picked up by Darren Emerson for Underwater Records. His follow up single "It Just Won't Do" was released in July 2002 and quickly became a club classic, even reaching number 14 in the UK top 40 charts, along with winning best Ibiza anthem in the 2002 Muzik Awards. Remixing work followed, including Kylie's "Can't Get you Out of My Head" and Layo and Bushwacka's "Love Story", another UK chart hit at number 8. Deluxe has an ear for what works on the dancefloor. His releases and remixes are catchy, chunky and high-energy uplifting house, with plenty of bass to ensure the girls are always ready to dance. Most recently he has released his debut artist album <I>The Little Ginger Club Kid</I> and continued to promote his Ibiza Underwater residency. We dare you to remain seated when he's on.

<description><![CDATA[Justin Harris & Luke Solomon, the duo behind Freaks, describe their sound as part Kraftwerk, part Green Velvet, part George Clinton and just a dash of Basement Jaxx. Walking the line between quirky and commercial, the Freaks like to mess with traditional house formats, chopping up Latin riffs into mechanical loops, layering vocodered rodent sounds into sparse blip-hop-house beats and generally doing their best to bring a creative edge to what they see as a stale house sound. They have released three albums -- <I>The Beat Diaries</I>, <I>Meanwhile Back At The Disco</I> and <I>The Man Who Lived Underground</I> , along with other remixes and singles on their Music For Freaks label. From mellow electro grooves to down and dirty house, the Freaks' sound is brutal but funky-sexy, hard-hitting but minimalist.
