Comparison of 2 Similar DJ/Producers, One hated...One Not so much
Posted on: 07.06.2013 by Lannie Kutay
Ok so im going through my music library, and I notice that David Guetta and Alex Gaudinos sound are essentially identical. Of course there is plenty of hate going around for Guetta but not much for Gaudino.... So i ask your opinion why do you believe? Ive noticed that Guetta only uses cheesy pop singers... Nikki Minaj, Chris Brown, Will i am, etc... where as Gaudino uses lesser known European singers, some with a background in house music. That could be one reason. Your thoughts?

He just looks so fake I guess.
Phony.

I'd love salinger to resuscitate and write a modern "catcher in the rye"

And to read holden's commentaries on today's hipster djs in NY would be quite fun tbh :P

True,even tho one was previewed in february 2010, while 50degrees was released sometime around june, that leaves a good 4 months of headroom to produce it.

To be honest a track like 50degrees is not extremely hard to produce. Load nexus samples, load vengeance kick snare and percussion, add some white noise, some drum fills, and you're good to go.

One on the other hand is, in my opinion, a god-tier production, just like greyhound. Much thought went into it, sound design was perfect, it's just a perfect track to me.

If they were acknowledged covers, or remixes, i wouldn't have a problem with it.
What i have a problem with is the utter decay guetta has witnessed after "love don't let me go" was released.
Same track after same track after same track.

Also, recent tracks: talk about not releasing stuff because it's basically copypasted:








Now i don't know if the second one is really a guetta original (was unable to find info), but it is frickin' ghosts n stuff. Same organ, SAME drumline, just the chord progression is different.

Dino Hapgood
08.06.2013		Because Alex Gaudino is hardly relevant anymore. Destination Calabria was a sample of Rune. The same song was also sampled by Pitbull around the same time if I'm not mistaken. If I played both track instrumentals they are essentially the same but the first artist that comes to anyone's mind is Pitbull.

Both Fedde Le Grande and Alex Gaudino came up around the same time, and Fedde Le Grand adapted his style to the changing scene and found a niche sound that people who didn't listen to pop could groove to while Gaudino continued to produce the same tracks which, as you say, are similar to Guetta but without the star power and notoriety behind them - which is the only thing that makes Guetta's tracks noteworthy. So there you have it. Why hate something that isn't very noteworthy or particularly distinctive?
Tamela Batara
08.06.2013		I wouldn't say that being out of the scene for 8 years. I did have some quite good knowledge at the turn of the century, but alas, work / university and drugs got in the way for a while.

But I only know of Guetta for all his cross-over crap anyway, and don't really pay any attention to the charts. So I am unlikely to have heard of much from these sort of artists.

Point taken, you probably have a much vaster knowledge of underground music than me.

08.06.2013		Gaudino was big before guetta, but when he was big this kind of sound was something relatively new. Guetta is still using the same produce-cheesy-5minute-track-and-call-next-top40-singer-to-collab technique in 2013.

I don't like him. You must agree however that he is massive.

And since he's so big, many great artists do remixes of his productions, so in the end you do have good tracks, that are also guaranteed to lift the dancefloor to the stars.

08.06.2013		I don't believe Gaudino is as big now as he used to be, I don't hear of him so much these days, but he used to be big long before Guetta.
Neoma Stamas
08.06.2013		I don't care what anyone says, David Guetta - The Alphabeat is still a banging track.
Kristofer Krauel
07.06.2013		Ive never forgiven Guetta for them cheesy Fructis hair gel adverts!!

Now that may well have come accross as cheeky, especially to Alex Gaudinos, but that is the reason why. I have never heard of this guy. He is no-where near as famous as Guetta. If your not as famous, you wont have as many haters = less tinterweb hatred.

That'll be why. If Gaudinos gets as big as Guetta, he will get just as much haters. But also the same followers, and he will be loaded, and so wont give a fuck. Just like I wouldn't.
Lilliana Perris
07.06.2013		Its due to Guetta faking it so much.
