LAURENT GARNIER

It can be said, with little hesitation or argument, that Laurent Garnier’s effect on UK dance music culture is unequalled. First introducing the Hacienda to Detroit techno and Chicago house, Garnier then changed the face of clubbing again with his all-night-long sessions at The End, in-between establishing himself alongside Frankie Knuckles in NYC, reinvigorating Paris clubland with his Wake Up parties at Rex Club, releasing tracks such as techno anthem ‘Crispy Bacon’, to the likes of one of dance music’s biggest ever anthems , ‘The Man With The Red Face’ and playing some of Ibiza’s most iconic sets on the Space terrace.

Similar to his dense musical chronology, equipped with unpredictable movements around the globe, as a DJ, Garnier is equally as lively and difficult to pin down – always ready to shake things up and leave you breathless with a swift change of direction, just when you think you have him pegged.

In 2009, Laurent Garnier made yet another move into a new and unexpected area –with the unveiling of a brand new live show and artist album, ‘Tales of a Kleptomaniac.’
The show is a dazzling 8 piece band mixture of genres and styles, each tackled as adeptly as the other. The album is a divine collage of acid house, Detroit techno, tribal, dubstep, DnB, acid jazz and dub reggae – all illuminated with the rare flair of a true visionary. Largely eschewing the typical machinations of a DJ/producer locking himself away in a studio, Laurent Garnier will incorporate a remarkable array of live instrumentation and vocalists that will fall, quite simply, nothing short of magic.

Treats such as these come about few and far between.
