(EMI) International Artist/DJ/Producer David Guetta and pop-R&B superstar Kelly Rowland are set to perform their global hit "When Love Takes Over" for the first time on U.S. television this Thursday, July 9th on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance."

The hit single from Guetta's upcoming album One Love has become one of the songs of summer 2009 around the globe. Already hitting #1 in the UK, France and Ireland and #1 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Charts, "When Love Takes Over" is now climbing the Top 40 Radio Airplay chart where it is currently #32. "When Love Takes Over" isn't Guetta's only hit on the charts, he produced the Black Eyed Peas most recent single "I Gotta Feeling" which is the #1 selling single in the U.S. and is top ten at Top 40 radio. The sexy video for "When Love Takes Over" shot in Venice Beach, CA by famed director Jonas Akerlund is seeing airplay on Music Choice, BETJ, MTV Hits and Logo and has been streamed over 1.8 million times in just 3 weeks on Guetta's official youtube channel.

Guetta's upcoming fourth studio album, One Love, scheduled for August 25th release on Astralwerks, is an ambitious, ingeniously crafted album that sets forth nothing less than a bold and beautiful manifesto for the global pop and dance audience.

Guetta's unique blend of dance/electronic with contemporary urban flourishes is showcased throughout One Love with guest vocals by superstars Rowland, will.i.am, Akon, Estelle, break-out stars Kid Cudi, Novel, Wynter, Makeba and longtime collaborator Chris Willis. With killer vocals provided by each artist, Guetta serves up a body-rocking, all-embracing blend of hip-hop, soul and electro � an audacious fusion that's been sorely missed ever since rap and dance audiences became polarized at the turn of the 1990s. With a global following of nearly five million celebrants at over 200 DJ performances just last year attesting to his musical authority, it's no wonder that Guetta has emerged as a catalyst and a curator of an exciting new musical hybrid.

David Guetta's name is synonymous with the world's greatest house and dance music, and with the parties that bring that music to life. Since releasing his first pioneering single "Up 1 Way" in his native Paris, France in 1992, David Guetta has sold over 2 million albums worldwide and over 3.2 million singles. He has been France's No. 1 club DJ for a decade, and was named the world's No. 1 House DJ in 2008. Attesting to his global appeal, Guetta is also a bona-fide YouTube star, holding the record for "most watched" of any artist in the electronic music genre with over 32 million views of his 2007 classic "Love Is Gone".

In Europe, Guetta has previously released three chart-topping albums (Just a Little More Love, 2002; Guetta Blaster, 2004; Pop Life, 2007). Guetta and his wife Cathy are also famed for staging the mega-sized dance parties, F*** Me I'm Famous, for tens of thousands of house, electro, and dance-loving fans from Ibiza to Miami, New York, London, Barcelona and Paris. They have released four best-selling compilation packages of the same name.
