David Guetta delivers must hear ‘Influences’ Essential Mix

Surrounding the excitement of his new video for ‘Hey Mama’ ft. Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha, and Afrojack – a track that has already held the #1 spot on the Billboard Electronic Chart for an incredible five weeks – David Guetta has now recorded a new BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix for Pete Tong, which aired yesterday, May 23rd.

Themed as a very fitting ‘Special Influences’ mix, David navigates his way through two hours of exclusive music in a nod to the sounds that have helped establish himself as one of the world’s biggest and most influential electronic artists. As a pioneer of the electronic music genre with a career that spans decades, David has included tracks from a selection of legendary contemporaries such as Lil’ Louis, Danny Tenaglia, Carl Craig and Laurent Garnier.

One of the hardest working DJs in the industry with a non-stop touring schedule, and having recently performed new single ‘Hey Mama’ alongside Nicki Minaj at the Billboard Music Awards, David is jetting over to the UK just for the weekend for Radio 1’s Big Weekend on May 23rd, then going straight back to Las Vegas to finish his residency. The following week, David will then be kicking off his infamous ‘F**K Me I’m Famous’ residency at Pacha on May 28th and his second Ibiza residency at Ushuaia on June 29th.
