D:U:LIVE is coming in June! My first live set since 2013.... London / Bristol / Manchester - all tickets: scubaoficial.io/live
How could we possibly follow last week's episode with the techno legend Luke Slater? Well, with another legend of techno of course!
Laurent Garnier is, in fact, and all-time great of dance music PERIOD. He was playing the Hacienda before acid house really got going. He can plausibly claim a large amount of the credit for the sound gaining popularity in France. And he continues to be one of the best DJs on the planet.
So it's a slightly daunting prospect to welcome him to a humble podcast such as ours, but welcome him we absolutely do.
Discussion topics include: what are the challenge facing the current scene, and the grounds for optimism. We talk about Paris as a dance music city, and the role of venues such as the Rex Club and Concrete. And we talk about his relationship with music, as a DJ and also as a producer.
This is a great conversation with a man who many claim to be the GOAT. You're gonna enjoy it...
