A fan of hip hop as a teenager, this pure product of the Myspace generation and the Internet buzz got up to speed just three years ago by riding the second “French touch” wave.

However, David Guillion aka Data offers something else, something that sets him apart from the walk-on starlets who emerged in the wake of the Daft Punk revolution.

Like Calvin Harris, his closest musical relative, Guillon injects a healthy dose of disco funk into this futuristic, next-generation pop, reminding us more of Chic’s groove, the classiness of Shalamar and the dance-inspired sound of Quincy Jones, than current energetic techno hits with their take-no-prisoners sound. The 23 year old French producer and DJ is riding on a huge wave of momentum internationally with the release of his debut full length album Skywriter and a series of high profile official remixes for Justice, Felix The Housecat, Chromeo, M83, and La Roux.
