A Taste:

Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Black Eyed Peas

David Guetta’s something of a dance music wizard.

Not only is he lighting up the clubs with his undeniably infectious collaboration with Akon, “Sexy Chick,” but he also produced The Black Eyed Peas‘ mega-hit, “I Gotta Feeling.” Anything he touches is bound to magically get asses shaking worldwide! He’s continuing to rise to prominence as well with his brand new album One Love and enough remixes to stock any DJ’s record crate. “Sexy Chick” is just one of many surefire club bangers in Guetta’s varied arsenal!

In order to get inside his decks, David Guetta shared his playlist with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive interview. Check out David Guetta’s playlist below and be sure to pick up One Love now!

David Guetta’s Playlist:

1. Marvin Gaye — “Inner City Blues”

Marvin Gaye is a genius; it’s as simple as that.

2. Stevie Wonder — “Living for the City”

Stevie Wonder is the second genius [Laughs]…

3. Black Eyed Peas — “Boom Boom Pow”

I produced the new single, “I Gotta Feeling,” but I’ve gotta say, this track is the most innovative and exciting track I’ve heard in a long time!

4. N.E.R.D. — “Rock Star”

Pharrell Williams is one of my favorite producers and I love it when he does rock.

5. Lenny Kravitz — “I Belong to You”

The album that this track is on, 5, is one of my favorite albums ever.

6. Michael Jackson — “Dirty Diana”

Thriller is my favorite album, ever!

7. Kanye West — 808s & Heartbreaks

The whole album is really inspiring to me and is probably one of the main reasons why my new album is a bridge between electronic music and urban culture.
