David Guetta really stepped in it this week telling Beatport in an interview he went ‘old school’ for his set during Coachella.

The superstar DJ’s performance started falling to pieces when Rekordbox failed to recognise his pre-selected playlist post a laptop crash and was forced to pick through a random assortment of tracks from his USBs.

“Something crazy happened to me on the [first weekend]. I’m using Rekordbox and Pioneer to play, and before I saved my playlist to my SD card, my computer crashed. So I just had to put all my music in a random order on USB sticks at the last minute, doing it really old school, scrolling to look for the records I wanted to play next.”

Respect for the guy right?

To make matters worse, the Black Eyed Pea’s wanted to make a surprise cameo during the set but the old fella didn’t have “I Gotta Feeling” on hand but things were quickly resolved thanks to a stage manager.

“When Fergie decided to come last minute, it was like, OK, but I don’t have ‘I Gotta Feeling,’ because I don’t play it any more. I called my stage manager to go download ‘I Gotta Feeling’ on iTunes so I could play it. It was just completely crazy, but I loved it. And actually the set went amazing, and in a way the stress adds to the adrenaline.”

We’re not sure what to say really.
