Gartner is the Grammy-nominated US star championed by everyone from Zane Lowe to Pete Tong and Annie Mac to Nick Grimshaw. And that’s just some of the UK radio DJs. Throw in the likes of Deadmau5, Tiesto, and David Guetta, and you have a figure that’s being tipped for global domination by dance music’s biggest figures.
As the front man for one of the most successful acts of this century with the Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am needs little introduction. This collaboration with Gartner cements his domination of the world of dance music. Expect nothing less than a huge video featuring Will as he’s never been seen before…
Wolfgang is leading a new wave of US dance artists as America undergoes its biggest dancefloor revolution for decades. Make no mistake, while European artists such as David Guetta, Afrojack and Tiesto, are helping to build the foundations of the USA’s 21st century club culture, it’s home grown talent like Gartner who are set to take the scene to a whole new level.
His career trajectory has gone from bedroom DJ/producer to becoming a local club sensation at 16, to having 8 Beatport No.1’s and being tapped up by the likes of Timbaland, Britney Spears, and the Black Eyed Peas for remixes. His singles such as ‘Illmerica’, ‘Undertaker’ and ‘Firepower’ and ‘Wolfgang’s 5th Symphony’ (which drew praise from The Independent for its “thrilling” reworking of Beethoven’s most recognisable work) all point to an immense talent.
Gartner’s profile has since rocketed to the point at which all his club shows are roadblocked and his recent performances at Coachella and the Ultra Music Festival drew acclaim from across the mainstream American media.
