Comparison of 2 Similar DJ/Producers, One hated…One Not so much
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 think? 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?
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.
lol yeah Guettas beard makes him look homeless haha. Actually for those of you who follow “pop” i guess youd call it..?? Alex Gaudino I like Europes version of Americas Guetta… I mean he produced Calibria… a classic
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.
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.
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?
The good thing about Guetta, compared to someone like Will.I.Am, is at least he doesn’t steal other peoples’ tracks (with the exception of “Play Hard”).
The last one isn’t accurate as they’re both just arpeggiated riffs, although Titanium is a little bit more intricate than The Police’s. The other two, point taken
Although he doesn’t usually rip off RECENT tracks in the same genre. Personally, I don’t mind covers of older, non-EDM stuff.
