In an exclusive interview, renowned DJ David Guetta opened up about his approach to DJing and the art of crafting a set that resonates with the crowd.

Guetta shared that he is always ready to switch up his set if the crowd's response is not as expected. Whether the audience prefers hits, singalong, and feelgood music or shows a penchant for underground records, he adjusts his set accordingly.

The French DJ expressed admiration for DJs who can harmonically match tracks during their sets. He finds it particularly impressive when a DJ shifts a track's key to harmonically match with the one being mixed out.

Guetta also mentioned that excessive EQ adjustments might not be necessary unless the club's sound system is poor. He believes that today's technology makes it easy to beat match, a skill he claims he could teach a 10-year-old in a couple of hours.

Contrary to rumours, Guetta has not publicly named or criticized specific DJs for preparing prerecorded sets. He has stated that he himself never played a prerecorded set and only hears rumours about such practices without naming others.

However, Guetta does admit to certain performance elements being part of the show. He prepares the "skeleton" of his set, but leaves room for improvisation based on the crowd's reaction.

Guetta also addressed the issue of pre-recorded sets, stating unequivocally that he has never played a pre-recorded set. He admits that some elements of his performance in the booth can be considered "bullshit", but maintains that his sets are predominantly live.

In conclusion, David Guetta's approach to DJing is one that values adaptation, skill, and audience engagement. His sets are a testament to his ability to read the crowd and deliver a performance that caters to their preferences, all while showcasing his impressive beat matching skills.
