Bio

Since his debut at Manchester's Hacienda in 1987, the beginning of the Acid House explosion, Laurent Garnier has played a key role in the development of the electronic music scene. Over the last ten years he has built up his international reputation by playing at all the major clubs and festivals worldwide. During this time he has been voted best international DJ by the music press and has built up a very special relationship with his public.

Aside from his successful DJ career, Laurent has always produced his own music. The release of tracks such as 'Acid Eiffel' and 'Wake Up' served as a springboard for a new French electronic scene. Rarely before had French music been so easy to export. In effect, he became the first ambassador for French house and techno abroad, with his signature jazz-infused techno productions.

Laurent Garnier is respected by both the godfathers of techno in Detroit, with whom he has built close links, as well as by the younger generation of producers and DJs to whom he has given a taste for electronic music through his DJ sets and productions.
