For over 25 years Laurent Garnier has been at the forefront of electronic dance music. He was there in the late 80s at the birth of acid house, regularly playing at The Haçienda before starting his F Communications label and dominating the world stage for over two decades. Albums like ‘Tales Of A Kleptomaniac’ and ‘Unreasonable Behaviour’ pushed the boundaries of what techno could be, and from these LPs came classic tracks such as ‘The Man With The Red Face’, a tune that remains the highlight of many a DJ set to this day. In 2003 Laurent created ‘Pedro’s Broadcasting Basement’, a worldwide, 24-hours-a-day web radio station that’s a veritable treasure chest for those searching for new music. He also presents a weekly radio show called ‘It Is What It Is’, on Le Mouv, where he showcases his love of music outside of techno. Garnier has documented his musical journey (and the history of electronic music) in his book Electrochoc, which is soon to be translated into English. His most recent project was the Live Booth Sessions (LBS), for which he, Benjamin Rippert and Scan X improvised a mixture of DJing with live machines and instruments. Laurent has also composed music for films, television and theatre.
