How shocking is this… people who download/stream music illegally also purchase the music! Only a handful of artist are getting this through their skulls that the internet is the future of music and that if someone finds your song on Youtube or a P2P client or torrent and they happen to like it, chances are they’ll buy your sh*t.

Especially in the dance music scene, other then Tiesto, Armin, Guetta and a select other few…people dont know who you are! Matter of fact half the good electronic music they hear, they think its from Tiesto. So getting someone to make a video for you and post it on Youtube, thats free advertising for the artist. I mean I wont go into this any further. CLICK HERE for the stats, thanks to HyperBot.com for posting that up!

23 days remaining till the Electric Zoo Festival. I still dont know what a Zoo has to do with it but I can’t wait. Today we’ll take a look at David Guetta. It’s was a long time coming for the man from Paris, who’s first single “Up & Away” was released in 1994, and even before that(1990) he had a hip hop track released with a french rapper Sidney Duteil called “Nation Rap”.

Both are far cries from the commercial hit’s he has been banging out since. After the 1994 release of “Up & Away”, his next track was “Just A Little More Love” which featured the voice of Chris Willis was released in 2001, and opened up the commercial doors for David. David’s next big break was with his release of “The World Is Mine” in 2004, which contained a sample of the Simple Minds record “Someone Somewhere In Summertime”. Since then David’s music career took off. David Guetta now has 4 solo albums under his belt, and a very succesful compilation called “F*** Me I’m Famous”.

His latest album “One Love”, includes tracks with Akon, Kid Cudi, Will.I.Am (of the Black Eyed Peas) and, Kelly Rowland just to name a few. His record with Akon “Sexy Bitch” is blowing up speakers everywhere this summer, while “I Got A Feeling” a track he produced for the Black Eyed Peas has major spins on the radio.
