A former staff member at the embassy in London, Frenchman Laurent Garnier began DJing in Manchester during the late '80s and became by the following decennium one of the best all-round DJs in the world, able to span classical mysterious house and Detroit techno, the harder incline of acid/trance and surprisingly jazzy tracks as well. He added production make for to his schedule in the early '90s, and recorded several brilliant LPs with a like predilection for diverseness.
One of the first base Europeans to start intermixture American house music in Britain, Garnier was one of the prime cogs in the late-'80s Madchester prospect. His DJing at Manchester's legendary Haçienda clubhouse provided a major inspiration for the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays to start adding theatre rhythms to rock candy music. Garnier shifted his attention game to France in the other '90s, linear the Wake Up club in Paris for three age 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 below, though, he formed the F Communications label with Eric Morand (a quaker world Health Organization had as well worked for FNAC). He had amassed quite a discography by the mid-'90s, but his first-class honours degree LP Shot in the Dark wasn't launched until 1995. His second, 30, appeared in 1997, followed by the retrospective Early Works. After trotting the globe with multiple DJ appearances during the late '90s, Garnier returned to the production kingdom with 2000's Inordinate Behaviour and 2005's Cloud Making Machine. He also put together a smattering of integrate albums: Excess Luggage, Life: Styles, and The Kings of Techno (a two-disc set divided with Carl Craig).
