The undisputed king of French EDM, David Guetta, has claimed that eighteen year old Dutch prodigy Martin Garrix is his favourite old school DJ.
Guetta paid the highly flattering compliment to Garrix during a live Skype interview with DJ Mag America, which was broadcast to millions of people worldwide over the internet.
“I had great fun giving the interview over Skype,” claimed Guetta earlier. “How old is that technology? It was like working with something from a museum but highly amusing, it really reminded me of my childhood in Paris.”
“It’s no secret that I think Martin is a great old school DJ,” continued Guetta, who was dressed head to toe in this year’s vintage summer collection from Yves Saint Laurent. “Don’t let his young appearance fool you, he’s been DJing with the best of us since the very beginning…of 2014.”
“We were at a private party a couple of weeks ago and none of the DJs could play because they only had CDJ 1000s,” continued the French DJ. “But Martin didn’t care he just jumped straight on and started to DJ, he didn’t even notice that there was only a DJM600 mixer. That’s old school DJing.”
Guetta went on to claim that Garrix, who was thirteen years old when Technics 1200s went out of production, was not only one of the best old school DJs on the scene but also the only true old school producer left in the electronic music industry.
“Martin’s been using Image-Line’s FL Studio 11 to produce his tracks,” revealed Guetta who has been building a large collection of antique iPhone 6s in recent months. “That is so old school, I mean FL Studio 12 was released last month but he’s still using 11. There’s just not that many producers around today who are that true to their roots. He’s a real credit to his profession.”
According to sources close to Garrix, the Dutch DJ is confused by Guetta’s comments, claiming that he never even went to “old person’s school” after abandoning his education to peruse a career in music at the age of sixteen.
