SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
A former staffer at the embassy in London, Frenchman Laurent Garnier began
DJing in Manchester during the late '80s. By the following decade, he had become
one of the best all-around DJs in the world, able to span classic deep house and
Detroit techno, the harder side of acid/trance, and surprisingly jazzy tracks as
well. He added production work to his schedule in the early '90s, and recorded
several brilliant LPs across two additional decades that displayed a similar
penchant for diversity.
One of the first Europeans to begin mixing American house music in Britain,
Garnier was one of the prime cogs in the late-'80s Madchester scene. His DJing
at Manchester's legendary Haτienda Club provided a major inspiration for the
Stone Roses and Happy Mondays to begin adding house rhythms to rock music.
Garnier shifted his attention back to France in the early '90s, running the Wake
Up Club in Paris for three years and gradually moving into recording as well.
For the FNAC label, Garnier released "French Connection" and the Bout de Souffle
EP; after the label went under, though, he formed the F Communications label
with Eric Morand (a friend who had also worked for FNAC). He had amassed quite a
discography by the mid-'90s, but his first LP, Shot in the Dark, wasn't launched
until 1995. His second, 30, appeared in 1997, followed by the retrospective
Early Works.
After trotting the globe with multiple DJ appearances during the late '90s,
Garnier returned to the production realm in 2000 with Unreasonable Behaviour,
which was followed by the 2005 set Cloud Making Machine. Retrospective:
1994-2006 combined major singles like "Crispy Bacon" and "The Man with the Red
Face" with standout remixes for the likes of Alex Attias and Carl Craig. Live
recording Public Outburst, issued in 2007 and inspired by improvisational jazz,
featured material Garnier wrote and performed with Bugge Wesseltoft, Benjamin
Rippert, and Philippe Nadaud. A couple years later, Garnier offered the
expansive -- even by his standard -- Tales of a Kleptomaniac. Throughout the
decade, he also put together a handful of varied mix albums: Excess Luggage,
Life: Styles, and The Kings of Techno, the last of which was a two-disc set
shared with comrade Craig.
The 2010s were slightly less active for Garnier only when it came to traditional
studio content. DJing, broadcasting, and operating F Communications kept him
occupied, as did making music for dance productions, television, and film. The
year 2015 brought La Home Box, a helpful compilation that rounded up then-recent
tracks issued on 12" and as digital downloads for an assortment of labels,
including Hypercolour, 50 Weapons, and Still Music, as well as some exclusive
tracks.
