Guetta Be Starting Something...and Aeroplane

Back in the south west after a jaunt to Ibiza for DJ Magazine and a stop-off in London to play at 54 Commercial Street.

Typically surreal stuff - it mostly involved having sushi with the then hit parade-topping very nice bloke David Guetta and at one point, standing next to Kelly bloody Rowland.

Guetta gets a lot of stick for making mad cheesy music. And only an idiot would argue otherwise. But he doesn't operate under any pretence of being (the massively overrated, for my money) Ricardo Villalobos, and seems pretty humble and willing to take the piss out of himself.

He sees himself more as somebody who gets people into electronic music. And you can see where he's coming from: there's aren't that many steps from him to the Swedish House Mafia, and then onwards to underground basement skiffle-tech or whatever. In fact the only criticism I'd have of him is his timekeeping. Still, Guetta late than never, eh? (Parp!)

I also interviewed Belgian disco funsters Aeroplane. Oddly, they've been tipped to lead the charge of a new wave of 'Balearic' (head this way for a loose definition) despite the occasion when our paths crossed being the first time they've ever visited the islands.

Anyway, get stuck into this fantastic mix from them. Pay special attention to the spiffy Rex The Dog remix of Fever Ray's 'Triangle Walks' at around 37:00. It's the 'boom ting', as they say.
