Martin Solveig Essentials

As part of a long and storied line of French electronic producers, Martin Solveig has made a name for himself thanks to his knack for crafting perfect crossover pop hits—and his reputation as the nicest guy in dance music. While he may have taken cues from other legendary Gallic producers like Daft Punk and DJ Falcon, he's developed a sound all his own, infusing guitar pop with catchy hooks by Kele Okereke and Dragonette on his hit album Smash. It wasn't long before the Queen of Pop came knocking, enlisting him for her chart-topping EDM album MDNA.
