David Guetta's latest is making waves

'Everytime We Touch' is the sonic finale from David Guetta's album 'Poplife', the long-player (his third, which released on Ultra Records Oct. 2007) that's brought him major radio cross-over hits such as 'Love Is Gone', 'Love Don't Let Me Go', and 'Baby When The Light'.

His own favorite from the album, 'Everytime We Touch' was written with long-term collaborator Chris Willis, and co-produced with Steve Angello and Seb Ingrosso, the infamous pairing from the Swedish House Mafia trio. The new EP includes remixes from David Tort, InPetto, and Robbie Rivera.

"This is probably my favourite song on the album; its very emotional and showcases Chris' vocals perfectly." said David. "I love this kind of mix between dark, electronic beats and soul."

Guetta's now ranked No.5 in the Top 100 DJs Poll (up from No.10). He's the highest placed house DJ yet again, and in a Top 10 brimming with trance talent, the accolade signifies that his take on house and electro is pushing him further into uncharted territory on an international scale -Youtube views of his music videos are now in excess of 50 million.

A riotous 2008 has seen David continue to push boundaries. In addition to his own F*** Me I'm Famous nights, and his Unighted event at Stade De France, his exploits have taken in We Love, Cocoon, Pacha and those beneath-the-radar places that have yet to attract international renown, but still carry the spirit of the warehouse parties he and his wife, Cathy, spearheaded back when dance music was cutting its teeth.

David's just finished a sell-out US tour which landed in all major markets. Check out the reception David received from his fan-tastic crowd at his November 28th Pacha date here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Rtgpa7Y3n4.

Gigging aside, work is well underway on his fourth album, which will feature some surprise guests from across the musical spectrum.

"I had a fantastic month in the US touring - and also collaborating with some amazing artists. I'm exploring new sounds and ideas for the next album. I'll be back to write with Chris this month; I can't say too much more right now, except that it's incredibly exciting."

Alongside Willis, David's combined underground appeal with repeated mainstream success - the musical equivalent of splitting the atom. Joined by Angello and Ingrosso for 'Everytime We Touch', the result is as devastating as ever. Guetta's trademark hooks and Chris' vocal make this the perfect footnote to an album that's delivered hit after hit.
