We think it’s pretty amazing that some of the artists gracing Sunset Music Festival‘s lineup have helped pioneer trends within the music industry. With one artist perfecting the art of being an underground DJ with crossover hits and the other aiding in the birth of a popular sub-genre, David Guetta and Dillon Francis are two Sunset artists who have successfully pushed the envelop for dance music in the span of their careers.
David Guetta
David Guetta certainly needs no introduction. That’s because he is uniquely an underground DJ who has also gained huge crossover success. Often called the hardest working man in dance music, David Guetta has single handedly been crafting his career since the mid-eighties, diligently and steadily working to the spotlight position he’s in today. With five successful studio albums and multiple Grammy Award wins and nominations to boot, Guetta is known to billions for not only his fusion of pop and hip-hop in the studio, but also his energetic DJ sets which range from deep, epic-long forays into vocal house to funky, electro house bangers. You can catch the once #1 DJ in the world when he takes the Ra stage of Sunset Music Festival May 25th. Buy your tickets today!
Dillon Francis
Though his first release was only three years ago, Dillon Francis has since risen to fame with a little help from endorsements by Diplo and the track track the two eventually collaborated on, “Que Que.” Known for being one of the pioneers of the sub-genre moombahton, in 2012 Francis became the first moombahton artist to achieve the number-one spot on Beatport’s Top 5 Releases Chart with the release of his Something, Something, Awesome EP. While Dillon has made a few viral videos in recent months, it is his blend of moombahcore, moombahton, electro house, trap, and dubstep that keeps fans coming back for more. Get poppin’ and sweatin’ at Sunset Music Festival this May 25th, when Dillon Francis takes the stage at Set. Grab your tickets now!
