One of the most recognizable dance music producers to emerge over the last few years, Wolfgang Gartner has rocketed to the forefront of dance music with his relentless string of hits, and blistering dj sets.

With remixes for A-List artists  (Black Eyed Peas, Timbaland, Britney Spears) and lauded by peers such as David Guetta, Tiesto & Pete Tong --  Wolfgang Gartner has produced eight #1 tracks on Beatport -- including the best selling track of 2009!

The name Wolfgang is synonymous with greatness. Name your baby Wolfgang, and he may grow up to be one of the world's leading chefs, or a member of a seminal band like Kraftwerk or Van Halen. In keeping with that tradition, in less than three years the producer and DJ known as Wolfgang Gartner has gone from strength to strength, with eight 1 tracks on Beatport (including the site's best-selling track of 2009) and remixes for A-list artists (Black Eyed Peas, Timbaland, Britney Spears), all lauded by peers such as David Guetta, Tïesto, and Pete Tong. No, with the forename Wolfgang, Gartner's success shouldn't surprise anyone. And yet it does. Because that is his stock in trade: surprising listeners.

"Right now, I feel like I have a responsibility to advance the genre," he says. "I have to come up with something completely new, that's never been done before." Just study a couple of Gartner's smashes to understand how rapidly his game keeps changing.
