 Biography - Laurent GARNIER
Young Laurent's major passion in life was his record collection and, thanks to his father's friend who was head of the CBS record label, the young boy soon managed to procure himself a unique collection of vinyl albums and singles.
Not surprisingly, Laurent Garnier soon went on to win a whole string of awards and he was voted DJ of the year countless times.
By now Laurent Garnier was one of the leading figures on the techno scene and it came as no surprise to anybody when in 1996 he was voted Best International DJ of the Year.

Garnier saw radio as the perfect medium to get his music across to the people, his mission being to pump out the widest possible musical diversity, the maximum amount of styles.
Garnier claims this is a ruse to boost sales of the boxed set which distributors may have hesitated to buy at the 5-set price.
Garnier tells an international DJ's life exactly as it is with the simple modesty of a man who has never taken any name but his own.

Garnier moved to UK in the 80's and started being a resident at the prestigious Manchester Hacienda club, being one of the first Europeans to mix American House music in Britain.
Laurent Garnier became one of the most significant names in the Trance and Rave scene of the mid 90's, and in 1995 founded the F Communications label with Eric Morand, producing his first album "Shot in the Dark", which is an Acid House classic.
Garnier has worked also under the aliases of Alaska, and Dune (with Pascal FEOS), moved in a different directions from Electro to Ambient and Underground Techno, and worked with artists such as BLACK DOG, DJ HELL, JOHN ACQUAVIVA, JUNO REACTOR, LFO, PASCAL FEOS, and SYSTEM 7.

Laurent Garnier has been at the top of his game DJing and producing for over 15 years but unlike so many of his uninspired and uninspiring peers he has managed to reinvent himself repeatedly.
Garnier invites his collaborator of 2003’s Sonar Festival in Barcelona, the jazz musician Bugge Wesseltoft, to contribute to the album and the results betray Garnier’s reverence to the multitude of musical styles that shaped his own tastes.
Garnier has always been a believer in his status as an artist, encouraging innovative artwork and videos for his tunes (anyone remember the hilariously ill-fated lift bomber in his video for Greed?).

Beginning in late 1987, Garnier worked alongside celebrated spinners like Graham Park and Mike Pickering (later of M People fame) and saw how a great party worked on a weekly basis and how a challenging DJ could be the ringleader.
Over the past five years, Garnier’s DJ schedule has gradually decreased, shifting his career slowly away from the rigorous demands as a world-class DJ towards a new challenge, one of developing as a producer.
Laurent would come in when the track was done and never interfered with the music.

But in the case of ex-French embassy employee turned DJ Laurent Garnier, don’t expect things to add up.
Garnier’s latest expedition, Unreasonable Behaviour (Mute), is like a gulp of fresh tech-house air in a genre long gone stale.
What makes Garnier successful is his ability to incorporate other types of music, like smooth jazz and evil jungle basslines, into his songs without making them sound foreign or complacent — afflictions that strike many other electronic musicians.

Laurent Garnier--the original funky Frenchman, house-and techno- impressario, label boss (Mr Oizo of Flat Eric fame was his discovery) and DJ who first dared the world to believe that French dance music could be cool--returns with his first album since 1998's distinctly patchy 30.
Garnier occasionally references these niches in this work, but the sound he has constructed here is far more wretched and dark, building on the masterpiece that was 'Le Voyage De Simone', the highlight of his previous album, the misfiring '13'.
Laurent Gariner along with Ludovic Navarre aka St Germain, Shazz & The Youngstars are responsable for the Techno, Jazz & Deep House side of the french dance scene.

 Laurent Garnier: The Cloud Making Machine: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Laurent Garnier has played the Antonio Salieri of the French electronic scene, spending years studying and publicizing the genre only to take a backseat to major-label Mozarts like Air, Cassius, and-- of course-- Daft Punk.
Garnier's logged many years in this biz spinning Madchester, penning books, and curating compilations-- he's heard a lot and his palate is wide.
Garnier's idea for a more cerebral, emotional album is wise; 2000's Unreasonable Behaviour, with its vocoders and pretentious lyrics, begged too hard for attention.

A former staffer at the embassy in London, Frenchman Laurent Garnier began DJing in Manchester during the late '80s and became by the following decade 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.
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).

The famous french dj Laurent Garnier (who was not announced on the djs line-up), takes control of the decks with his friend Llorca, co-founder of Brique Rouge.
Considered as the "soulman " for our label, and as one of the classiest artists, Llorca composes very groovy pieces from the oldschool of electronic music, which are strongly tinted with funk and jazz.
The first single released from the album, 'The Sound Of Big Baboo', with a video by Vito Rocco (who previously directed Jimi Tenor's 'Take Me baby'), and also 'Dangerous Drive' are exercises in driving techno in a similar vein to 'Crispy Bacon', and are sure not to disappoint the dancefloor.
