Laurent Garnier Fabric Presents Laurent Garnier
Laurent Garnier is joining the 'fabric presents' mix series, and details are now out on this bespoke milestone release. The trailblazing DJ and producer is doing not one, but four mixes as he embraces an opportunity to go even bigger for the London institution in it's 25th groundbreaking year. A full-spectrum and multi-genre release, there's a UK-focus, house, techno, and downtempo mix. In his words, 'diversity makes it richer, makes it better.' Eager to pay homage to the vitality of club culture, his vision is to take us through a rapturous weekend at fabric from Friday through to the afters. Garnier: 'Clubs have been my second home since the start of my career. Once you've witnessed that unique connection you can create in a club with a crowd, once you've experienced it from behind the decks, you just know you are where you're meant to be. This special journey with fabric is of course a tribute to the legendary London club - a place that's been a home to so many clubbers, DJs and music-lovers for so many years - but most of all, a tribute to all the dancefloors and all the clubs around the world.'Ploughing through hundreds of records a day, it's no surprise to hear Garnier describe the track selection process as being 'complicated'. His enriching trip through fabric spans over five hours with each digital/CD mix coming in at 1 hour 20 minutes. Across all four, it's clear that he's immersed in the present and future-focused with a majority of the chosen records dropping only in the last three years. The House Odyssey mix kicks off with afro house via South African producer Mr. Blase, and the vibrancy continues through cuts from Cape Verde to Chicago as newer faces Culoe de Song, Neinzer and Tal Fussman meet linchpins DJ Spen, DJ Lady D and Mike Dunn. In techno, his Rhythmic Resonance mix is searing with high impact moments from Red Axes, John Tejada, Electric Rescue, Works of Intent, and himself as three of his own epic productions feature. A UK-focus underpins Garnier's nod to fabric's fervent bass devotees with the Into The Low-End session featuring Skrillex, MC GQ, Sami Virji and Martin Badder. On The Way Home sidles up to clubbers for a downtempo dust down with stunning explorations from Daudi Matsiko, Adriano Koch, Richie Culver and Melody Gardot, among others.Experience the essence of Laurent Garnier with this exquisite 4xLP sampler, featuring a selection of 24 tracks meticulously chosen by Laurent from his house, techno, UK, and ambient mixes.
