David Guetta criticises Afro House DJs

In a sit-down interview, David lamented his frustrations over DJs constantly switching to Afro House and not offering anything different. He complained about them remixing everything and making it into an Afro House joint.

"When you go to a bakery to buy a croissant, they are playing Afro House. You go to the restaurant, and they are playing Afro House. You go to the festival, and the clubs are playing Afro House. They play 80s and 2000s music, and it's an Afro House Remix. Then you're like, 'Okay, what's the furthest we can go? We like Afro House, but this cannot go on forever," he said.

"No shade, but Black Coffee is my good friend, and I love what he is doing, but we just feel like the world needs something different," he added. "We feel like everyone is doing the same thing."
