France's David Guetta belongs to the sparkling wave of DJs that combine Daft Punk's sleek house with a pinch of electroclash's punch. Guetta had been DJing around France playing popular tunes, but his brain was particularly rewired in 1987 when he heard a Farley Jackmaster Funk track on French radio. He taped the track, took it to a gig, and cleared the floor with it during one of his own sets. Things loosened up a year later when acid house came to France and Guetta successfully promoted his own club nights. It was on one of those nights in 1992 that he met Robert Owens during the Chicago house legend's European tour.
