Sales Information:

It started with Chicago. Then, Manchester.
For nearly three decades, Laurent Garnier has urged himself to create on
the cutting edge of dance music. Beyond the turntables and studio,
Garnier moves between genres and performance techniques with the
aim of continuously challenging himself. Pick any moment from his
musical journey, and it's easy to see this creative momentum: there was
the Hacienda in the late '80s, his time spent in America exploring house,
the techno of his label F Communications and his entry into the realm of
jazz. "I never want to be an old artist playing my old tracks just to please
the older crowd," he says. "I don't think that's healthy." (RA)
Laurent Garnier is now a and undeniable force that is making the planet
dance.
Last summer (2013) Laurent Garnier met with Jerome Derradji over
dinner before his long awaited return at the decks in Chicago for
SmartBar. Longtime friends, Laurent and Jerome talked about the
possibility of releasing some of his new productions under the name
Garnier. A new venture for the veteran Dj and producer, that will see him
release a series of 12”s for labels such as 50 Weapons and more….
“AF 0490” is the first release in the series and showcases Garnier at his
best.
Three tracks that pay their respect to the heroes of Trax, Dancemania
and to the Chicago sound they helped create without any misplaced
nostalgia.
